Ok how about you explain the 2024 non call when Gee was video ref, to prove your not just a weird ref apologist.

Or the the clear shepherd that was a one in a million call of tackling the decoy runner.

Or the hollywood critter call

Just a coincidence Gee’s roots are with the Canterbury district.

One year can be copped. Two in a row nah

He probably still lives in Bankstown and got a ride home on the bulldogs bus.

I’m not saying we don’t get bad decisions however so do all the other teams. There’s no specific bias against the Warriors. But go on finding excuses, it seems to be a common trait for a few on here across multiple threads.
I watch 90% of games but struggle to think of 2 consecutive games where one official has made clunkers quite that explicitly.

Just happens the same official is from the area.

How curious.
 
If the season was to start now.
We would be close to the wooden spoon.
Other teams have improved remarkably.
We have regressed.
Webster talks a load of shit in the presser.
We are just to old eg DWZ, CNK,
Other teams are giving young wingers a chance and they are running rings around ours.
Lets just ignore half the team is injured 😂
You take out the best prop, best half, best hooker out of any team and they will regress. It isn't the 'old' backline that is the main problem
 
He literally killed it in cup and then Webby has played him at 14 covering multiple positions, sometimes even in the same game. Not sure what else he could do?
Thought he played well last weekend starting at 6. Each to their own and no point rehashing the same discussion that's been had already.

I think that we probably get beaten next week against the dragons and if AW gets his selections right and has TMM at 7 for the last three regular season games we will see the team go well.
Despite a poor defensive effort last week (69%), he needs to start for his kicking game.
 
3rd game on the trot we’ve lost and most of you lost your shit, forgetting we’ve lost a rep player and best halfback, not forgetting all the other injuries. None of us possess half the skill of footy experience that Webster has, yet think you could do better, half the teams shit but would love to see some of you play 80 minutes at that level. I sure as shit can’t and for that reason I refrain from criticising players even when they have a poor game. It’s a game, your life doesn’t depend on the outcome, yes I get pissed off like every one else but I’m over it 10 minutes after full time. I found something else to moan about, like the kids not washing up after themselves. Count yourself very fuckin lucky, you can sit in front of the tv pay for Sky sports now, in a warm house, drinking beer and food on the table, watch our team win or lose. Others are far less fortunate than us. End of the day it’s a game, nothing more nothing less.
 
Not great viewing last night. As soon as I saw that we dropped Tanah and played TMM and CHT in the halves and the wet weather it was pretty much over. Yes Tanah has been disappointing but what a crazy decision that was to drop our only player with a decent long kicking game in those conditions. I cannot understand what Webby was thinking. Yes Tanah has been disappointing but that was not the game to drop him.

I really hate to say this but the season looks done whether we make the 8 or not. And I think all the injuries etc are making people overlook some issues we have with certain players. We have some liabilities in the backs that need cutting loose unfortunately.

I think the next couple of years are going to be really good for us with Metcalf coming back and hopefully Jett coming into the halves to partner him either next year or 2027 and our young gun forwards getting more experience.
 
Tomorrow I am going to send an email complaint to the NRL head office about Adam Gee and the 6 again rule in general. The rule was explicitly introduced so they could call more marginal ruck infringements. Punishing any team for marginal infringements should not be a part of the rugby league product that the marketing executives for the NRL talk about. I am going to wait to tomorrow so my tone is composed and professional and not bearing false witness against Gee. I encourage others to do the same if you share concerns his performance was under par. He could benefit from some constructive criticism and be made aware of the impact of his decisions. If we even just get 2-3 compliants about him and the 6-again rule I am sure the NRL will listen as they are a customer focused organisation and I did not enjoy the product last night. I have written many complaint letters in my life and most of them get actioned.

Demand that they release Starford Toa to the Warriors immediately with a salary cap exemption, otherwise they will face the full consequences*

*consequences TBC
 
I have watched the Presser and real pleased with Webster wearing the loss on the chin and not blaming the refs. It is ok for analysts and fans to identify reffing as a reason for losing but I don't think it pays for our head coach or captain or the Warriors head office to diss the refs. Just accept the losses and hope for a better rub of the green next week. I found it to be a conspicuous coincidence that since Webster piped up about bad reffing 3 rounds ago we have thereafter been allocated the very top international level officials in the last 3 games. As hard as it is he has to take the rough with the smooth in the pressers.
I think we will cop it better from the refs next week based on how classy Webster was after this loss. I am still going to complain as I think the 6 again rule is past its use by date.
