Crazy how different Pirtek looks when in NRL mode.

Fucking oath. I wasn't watching the television, but I think I heard the words "Blocktastic" about 5 times before the Souths Vs Parra game had started. I swear that shit is on each of the three channels every night. A bit of fucking variety, please. I don't know what the point is of broadcasting in delay two games in QLD, one of only two states that provides a decent viewership for the game.

Blake Ferguson out for 4 months. Never wish injury on any player, but it is hard to have any sympathy for him.

Not looking forward to tonight at all :lol:

What the fuck has happened to this team in the off season is beyond me.

Nobody can tackle to save their lives.

-PB

What the fuck :lol:

Why even fucking bother with the competition if everything is going to be done to make sure Souths win.

Should just save time and have the rest of the comp play off for the chance to lose against Souths in the GF.

Absolutely furious. I haven't been this mad at a ref since the Italy match at the World Cup. It's hard at times like this not to feel like it must be corruption - because that many consistently bad calls against your team cannot be explained away as just bad luck.

I just love how they find a penalty for that charge down, but Morris gets shoved off the ball from the short kick off and that's not a penalty. They've given up even being subtle about it anymore.

Michael Maguire saying Reynolds could be out for 4 months. If that's true then we'll be seeing a lot more controversial decisions go Souths' way.

I don't give two shits about either Bulldogs or Souths but that was absolute horseshit that call this afternoon.

Bulldogs clearly robbed.

What's the point of chargedown at all then?

Smug fucking ref too, was hoping Graham would clock him in rage.

-PB

Just read about the referees getting bottled and fights in the crowd :lol:

Man that would suck have him in SuperCoach. :(

And Des Hasler saying "that's not us" :lol:

Uhhhhh yes it is lol.

Also supposedly the call was correct to move it in front, that's the rules, that's ok.

But if that's the case, how can any charge down to stop a field goal ever go down without it being a foul???

Need an A League fan to throw a bottle this weekend. Soccer shame would come out but I expect this incident to be put away quickly.

Fan violence mars NRL grand final rematch between Canterbury Bulldogs and South Sydney Rabbitohs

Updated 57 minutes ago

Crowd trouble mars end to Rabbitohs-Bulldogs clash

A NRL sideline interchange official has been taken to hospital with a suspected broken shoulder after being struck by a bottle by Canterbury fans as the Good Friday showdown with South Sydney ended amid ugly scenes at Sydney's Olympic stadium.

A last-gasp penalty from Bryson Goodwin in front of the posts sealed a dramatic 18-17 win for the Rabbitohs to seal an unlikely victory.

So incensed was Canterbury by the decision after James Graham caught the leg of Adam Reynolds as he tried to charge down a field goal attempt in the final minute that prop David Klemmer was sin-binned for verbally abusing referee Gerard Sutton.

After the final siren the officials were showered with plastic water bottles by a section of the crowd as they walked up the tunnel with Darren Alchin slipping after being hit and injuring his shoulder as he hit the ground.

Canterbury chief executive Raelene Castle said the club would view CCTV to weed out the culprits and vowed to ban any individual who is found to have thrown anything for life.

"It's not what this club is about and it's not acceptable behaviour," Castle said.

"We will look at the vision and take action."

The Nine Network also reported that there was a coward punch attack outside the stadium after the game.

Hasler apologises for fan behaviour

Canterbury coach Des Hasler apologised for the actions of some of his club's supporters, and said despite his frustration at the defeat, the behaviour was not acceptable.

"I just want to offer an apology on behalf of the club," Hasler said.

"I've been to see the refereeing official who was I think struck by a projectile - he's okay but that is not us, that is not what this club is about and it's not what sport in this country is about.

"Unfortunately the behaviour of a few can kind of ruin it and spoil it for everybody.

"On behalf of all the officials and the players and everybody involved with the club, our sincerest apologies for what appeared and it won't happen again."

Ref made the 100% correct decision. You are not allowed to make contact with kickers legs. Crystal clear. If the rules allowed for discretion, that one should never be a penalty, but they don't. Klemmer going off was hilarious though.

Can't believe some fans saying that wasn't an 8 point try. He straight up kicked him in the head.

STFU Hadlee.

One of the worst halfs of the season, but does show how dangerous the Broncos could be at full strength and if they start to click.

What a fucking joke, disgraceful call by the refs.

Fucking lol at that 5 min period where nether Broncos nor Titans wanted to hang onto the ball for a full set of six :lol:

Who gets a broken shoulder from a bottle thrown at them ffs??

The broken shoulder is from him falling after he was hit with the bottle.

The fact that people are talking about what kind of example James Graham set for kids watching yesterday is hilarious and will continue to be hilarious as long as cunts like Robert Lui are allowed to play in the NRL.

Isn't part of the problem that there's so many pricks in the NRL, the few good role models get brought down with them?

Pfft! Should've taken him to Bunnings and given him a teaspoon of concrete so he can harden the fuck up.

* Bulldogs lost
* Refs injured/hospitalised
* NRL crowd trouble

As a football fan who supports the Eels, what more could you ask for??

It's ridiculous. He is actually such a great bloke, and I'd put him up there as good as any player in the world, and I'm sure he'll be remembered as the best prop of the last 25 years by the end of his career.

For the sake of a few laughs, read some of the comments on the DT website over this.

Amazed that out of 500+ replies, there was only a few comments about "I'd expect this in Soccer/Soccer Hooligans/Bulldogs fans = Wanderers fans". :lol:

Showed a great example of how to be a captain.
