It will probably equate to the refs being less stringent and letting more go because they will be closely scrutinised whic will spark even more controversy than the first game.
Make a change from the raping NSW have copped from them for about 80% of games in the last 6 or 7 years.
The final try aside, the calls were about even IMO. The Blues have been up in arms about a couple of penalties awarded to the Maroons. I agree that Bird's was shit, but the other were spot on. The other side of the coin has been neglected TBH. There were 2 blatant incidents that should have been QLD penalties. Hayne punching Thurston. Slater getting tackled without the ball when chasing a kick.
Was pretty much all Kent's articles (minus the Artie one) wrapped up into one TV show. I just hate Tim Gilbert though. He's like a worse version of Vossy.
With you there Pretz, I don't know how he gets a gig hosting a sports show, he's got no idea with league, some of the ideas he puts forward are terrible. He's shocking to look at too. The Roast used to be a pretty good watch, but asking cunts like Terry Kennedy, Tim Gilbert and Paul Kent to discuss thins on national TV is begging for trouble. Kent has got to be the biggest name dropper I've ever come across.
