Southern or Northern end?

It's such a stupid stadium that once you go in one end you can't move to the other one.
And don't get me started on the fact you can see the screen outside the ground but not when you sit in front of i!

Southern end ie the pool end. I think our end is non alcohol too- sorry to those who like to have a bevvy or two at the game!

It has been a while since our boys played there, the last game I went to was a Bunnies one!

See you Sunday!

Cheers

Agreed Dani, but at least we're already doing better than the Tits game  ;-)

I do hate the Nine telecasts tho, so many bloody ads  :x

Okay, my take on the game. Brett Anderson, what is he paid for? The ref? Why is it the a soft touch by a defender on the kicker results in a penalty but when Cronk is chasing his own kick and is clearly taken out in the chase it's play on instead of a penalty to us? Kaufusi? Pretty clear why Storm are happy for him to talk to other teams. Storm juniors? A lot of guts and determination by them, unfortunate not to get the points today.

Lastly, why the lima lima lima duck are the byes AFTER the SOO clash?!? That now is three games that technically we should be morals. Instead we are 3rd, 4th depending on tomorrow night's game.

As far as I'm concerned that was our win!!! Bullshite reffing!!!!  Penalty try and the 'held up' which wasn't!!!!  We would have won by 6 even if we'd missed the kicks!!!!
I hate the ref, I hate the video ref, I hate Parra, I hate the Parra crowd, I hate Nine, I hate that we didn't win and I hate that our young guys had to have such crap to deal with!!!!!!  :x :x :x

But I LOVE that the guys out there today did what they did and gave that other mob a bloody scare!!!!  ;D
Good farkin on em!

We got hammered by that ref! Disgraceful.

Great effort, we really deserved the win imo. Didn't it used to be if you hit the kicker HIGH its a pen? Now you just touch them and they give a penalty wtf!?  Hope the coaches have a word after the game, unbelievable how bad it was.

Yes im whinging about the ref after a loss but after watching that rubbish it's called for!  :x  I think we got ONE penalty in the field of play (the sin bin), all the others were for obstruction and from the video ref.

And I also think you need to cut some slack for channel nine and ad's, at least they showed it live for once! Well done Ch 9!

Can someone confirm if that held up "try" that was given was a try? I missed the replay... was it clear that it was a try?

And the Golden Globe  for taking a dive goes to..........Brett Finch  :evil:

IMHO An honest & deserving team was today denied victory by a team obviously coach to milk penalties at ever opportunity.

Parramatta - a skillful & professional outfit - PLEASE !! Give me a bucket to chuck in  :pukeright:

NRL.com
Parramatta did little to convince those doubting their NRL premiership credentials as they struggled to beat an understrength Melbourne 24-22 at Parramatta Stadium.

I only saw the one replay but from that it definitely deserved a look at by the video ref.
