Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 3171264, member: 8187"] I'm certain that if we hadn't been destroyed by dodgy calls from round 3 to 7 we would have been mentally stronger and not given up. The Knights game absolutely crushed the team. I can't remember which game it was now, I think sharks in Round 12 they were looking good and then they just got totally demoralised again. There was also one game where the whole team was shouting at the ref for a dodgy penalty when they had the opposition pinned on the line, it turned the whole game and was so obvious that the team just knew they were being screwed over. Can't remember the game (maybe Manly, rd 5, DCE dive and strip penalty to lose by 2, 12-2 penalty count), but they could have been much better if they weren't torn down for multiple weeks straight. Edit: it was Rd 13 against the Rabbitohs and the boys were fair sick of all the dodgy one-sided calls going against them. Staggs had just dribbled a kick into the in-goal and was tackled without the ball with no call. The Souths player hadn't actually made the field of play and was called held with the ball hovering over the line. The Broncos rushed up on the next play to be penalised (not a 6-again, mind you! NO, a full penalty at the refs discretion) and after all of them snapping back at the ref were marched 10. Broncos were actually in the game until this broke their mentality AGAIN. [/QUOTE]
