That impersonal of a ref today was embarrassing ! No idea, I think the her eyes where painted on...I'm not going to list everything I'm sure you all watched the same game. It needs to be better, imagine that was in the finals.male or female I couldn't give a f..K just get it right and be consistent. In my opinion
Just to prove she was rightI havent watched todays game to comment on the performance but i believe you are absolutely right about the female refs being appointed simply through political correctness.
Years ago the Badgers had a podcast where they would review the controversial decisions made over the weekend and explain how the ref in question likely came to the conclusion they did. On the podcast the topic of female referees was raised. Kasey herself said that the game is to fast for any female to keep up with and adjudicate on to an acceptable level. It makes sense given the game is played by professional athletes there would be few enough men that could keep up with the pace of the game.
The topic was again broached when Sharpe made her debut. This was at the time of two referees and again the thought of both the Badgers was that the game was to fast for a woman to be lead referee but a woman could comfortably meet the phyical demands of a pocket ref (which Sharpe initially was).
Now that we are back to one referee and the game has only become faster in that time I don't understand how those in control can expect a woman to perform the role, nor why Kasey has taken on a role that she herself previously deemed herself incapable.
I dont blame the ref for the loss. We have severe deficiencies within our squad. I def agree we aren’t a smart team. But how do you take advantage of a weak ref with decisions like when the whole line being offside when the dogs did it all night? Or kikaus NFL pass? Being told you don’t have a challenge left when you already had 2 decisions over turned?The ref allowed WWE today and offsides. The difference is bulldogs are coached to break the rules smartly and we play fair. Our forwards get hit as soon as catching the ball and we make no metres out of trouble. All the field position goes to the Dogs.
I applaud them it’s the Panthers method. Boring as hell and the grapples and twists are not rugby league but Tigers need to wisen up. Dogs showed us how to win Benji should be paying close attention.
Blame the ref all you like but it’s us that didn’t take advantage of a weak ref and wasted time arguing and getting frustrated
Wests Tigers are a young, inexperienced team this year. We struggle to compete every game this year and the effort is there I believe and our defence has improved a lot this year.. However, every week, every single gotdamn week the referee and the Bunker make disgusting, deliberate decisive calls against us that absolutely have a negative influence on our game.. it is a deadset joke.. I am over it . And when supporters of other teams are also blowing up over the unfairness of the officiating you know there is a problem.. WHAT should we do ? Does Richo need to approach the. NRL with a list of examples or does Benji need to do a Ricky Stuart ? Or should The Podcasts again take matters into their own hands ? I just want a fair go , nothing more !! Does anybody have any suggestions?
No doubt we contributed to our own demise,but how many times did we get the ball out to the wings with a bit of open space..only once..and Stains scores.Dogs are a slow team(excet for JAC)and played to their strengths and the refs weaknessI dont blame the ref for the loss.

Are you graham annesley?Serious question.,
Why do you people think that we are picked on by officials?
Why us in particular?
Badger even said on mic yesterday words to the affect - I’ve tried to work with your team the whole first half, get them to get it together.
It seems to me that our club has forged a reputation as being difficult to officiate.
It’s a hard sell when Sezar’s tackle was an obvious sin bin, yet he stayed on the field.Serious question.,

it doesn't matter who we bring in its not gonna change nothingJayden Sua the replacement we need.
So you don’t have an answer to my question?Are you graham annesley?
I constantly see you defend the referees.. they have to be accountable aswell.
Did the api no try last week not fire you up?
Did the penalty high tackle yesterday that had to be over turned because kikaus head fell into a tigers knee not fire you up?
Did the bulldogs offload that went forward called play on not fire you up?
Congrats on keeping calm… and yeah it’s easy to say they should have kept their cool but I’d be frustrated as hell too if I was on that field
The same referee who had 5 decisions over called in the first half.So you don’t have an answer to my question?
Rather try and attack me than have a reasonable discussion?
Thanks for contributing.
The perfect example of why we need 2 refs. You cant fef the ruck and the 10 metres at the same time the games 2 fast.No doubt we contributed to our own demise,but how many times did we get the ball out to the wings with a bit of open space..only once..and Stains scores.Dogs are a slow team(excet for JAC)and played to their strengths and the refs weakness
Dogs were so offside that invariably our first or second receiver got smashed the second they received the ball .We got burnt early by 6 agains doing the same thing
Dont think Bateman is captaincy material to credibly deal with refs on these issues
