📝 Summary:

Multiple users #28 #119 detail early penalties and questionable calls that shifted momentum, while others #45 #111 argue the Bulldogs' dominance made the result inevitable regardless of officiating.

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

*consequences TBC
if we can't acquire Starford I think we should bring him in during pre-season to give inspirational talks to the boys. I am sure they would listen to him.

Couple of questions and they are around whether AW has adapted from last year a little.

Is CHT still carrying an injury? Didn't look right all match, granted the whole team looked off a little bit. Was he played a couple of games too long and has he been rushed back in unnecessarily?

Egan has a shoulder injury, apparently from his tackling workload this season. It was said at the beginning of the year that his time would be managed more this season and yet often he was playing 80min or close to it every game. Why when we have two or three options that could have given him spells during games.

I like AW but it feels like he would be the type of guy that would be leading the Bathurst 1000 for the first part of the race but stay on the same tyres and leave the pitstops until forced too and wonder why he drops down the finishing order. Perhaps a poor analogy but hopefully you get my drift.

They were good because they got confidence out of Adam Gee giving them free points early. I don't think the boys lost this one.
I think they lost it alright. They dropped lip because of the bs calls. And couldn't get back into the game. Mentally weak this team. But, Unlike some on here. I believe Adam Gee played a huge part in our loss. The cunt was diabolical! The funny thing is, Some of the posters saying after the game that said Gee was fine. Was blowing up about him being a cheat during the game lol. Make it make sense.
 
I'm not saying we're good enough. We're not.
And I'm not playing the victim mentality syndrome either.
Wasnt it obvious to you Gee has a clear bias against the Warriors. He has as a history of it.
Last night went exactly how i expected it would go. All 50/50 calls against us.
Continual repeat 6 agains for who knows what.. then the prick tried to square up the stats towards the end of the game by giving us 3 continuous repeat 6 agains on the first and second tackles.. what a joke
Giving this game to him is the NRL taking the piss....
But oh no, lets all be positive here.. its not the refs fault but he sure as hell didnt help
The whole ‘refs are against us’ narrative is grossly over used by Warriors fans- EVERY team thinks that about their own team for a variety of reasons.
HOWEVER although we were poor last night there was some pretty inexplicable calls that went against us and the Anger in Gees voice when he pinged us for things he let the Dogs get away with certainly gave the perception at least that Gee had something against us
