[2025] EF Warriors v Panthers - Game Day Thread

I feel like that in most games now. It seems crowds, the media, etc are more worried about finding us doing something wrong than actually assessing the games on their merits.

The amount of crap I see on social media or from other fans about 1 or 2 calls that go our way, while being silent about everything that goes against us is unbelievable.

What are people’s thoughts on the refereeing in the Raiders / Broncos game?

What a precedent being set that you cannot celebrate the wins (Luai will be out of a job lol) but then the same penalty is given for a head butt, i.e. 10 in the bin……..

Then the ā€˜Held’ call at the start of the game which gave the ball to the Broncs after big red tried to offload it, that was contradictory to the end of the game when the same thing happened but his decision was completely the opposite.

One of my thoughts was, how do 2 top 4 teams have no idea on how to work to a FG attempt. It was if they have never trained for a FG. It is always possible to miss the kick, but it should always not be because the setup was all wrong, with players carrying the ball to an edge or the kicker not setting themselves for the best position. Crazy!!

With out a doubt the NRL and channel nine want the Broncos to win for QLD ratings.

How wasn’t Walsh sent off and given a 2-3 week suspension?

I was surprised that it seems Reece Walsh will get off with nothing more than a financial penalty. Thought for sure he would at least miss a game.

Yer the NRL is becoming a laughing stock……all this protecting the head of a player is farcical when you can have a player head butt another, only be fined $3,300 yet be fined $1,700 for flipping the bird to the crowd :rofl: EMBARRASING

The other laughable situation was Walsh laying on the ground after he was bumped after the kick, yet gets up and slots the penalty goal……are we watching Soccer

I can guarantee that head butting is just a fine for certain clubs. If a Panthers player was to do it, they would be out for 6 weeks.

That was a farcical penalty for sure

If it was pretty much any other player, they would be watching the next game from the sideline.
