And that's unforgivable from Meaney.

Cumchin is having an absolute shocker of a match and the guy who has just been sent off was only found out because of the replays. He has to be the worst ref in the NRL by a country mile!!

And from Kenny.... wtf! No idea why he didn't just back himself.

I thought you had to have both feet on the ground in the field before you could touch the ball again? Or did I miss is?

Meaney does some things where you just have to scratch your head.

Our attack is so predictable and one dimensional, and our defense is absolutely appalling. Canberra handling everything we're throwing at them with ease, and we can't contain them.

How is this kind of commentary allowed. Ennis and Warren openly barracking for Canberra every single play.

I f*cking hate our game sometimes.

Ennis just finished a 5 minute rant about how NAS’s contact on Rapana HAD to go to the sin bin. It was “direct contact with the head”. Black and white, regardless of circumstances.

Then Hughes goes low and cops it in the head and all of a sudden Ennis and Warren want common sense applied to direct high contact.

Situational awareness is definitely lacking at times

Didn't deserve to win that one - we are a low to mid-pack team at best currently.

Canberra Ass Bandits had Cumchin on their side and once the ref is on your side you can't lose. Can't see us winning next week against the Bunnies if we can't even beat the 11th placed Raiders!! Could be season over?

Mate, the ref had zero to do with that loss. I dislike klown as much as anyone else, but he didn't cost the storm the game. A lack of effort, direction and desire did.
