What on earth is the ref playing at there?

Owen Farrell is right there.
What are these mongs doing?
Not a great day for reffing in general thus far.
The referee is having to step in now so we can't say his try assists decided it.
Does anyone know anything about Jordan Olowofela?
He is on loan to the Western 'Exiles' Force from Leicester Tigers
[Sir] Cameron Smith.
Has to be the next Immortal.
Hopefully he chooses to be an assistant for the Broncos instrad of for the Titans. I would also take the option of him consulting for both clubs.
They've wrecked the Immortals now, but yeah if anyone is one it's him. I wonder if he would have kept going if Melbourne didn't stand to lose Harry Grant.
Gut feeling is he would have played on.
3 NRL titles/whatever you want to call them seemed a bit light but then I forgot they had those ones docked for their persistent cheating (as if it ever stopped).
I guess at least he'll be able to look back on having been a part of the greatest game ever played.
Oh no, wait, he was suspended.
As you were.

James Graham calling him a cheating cunt in the World Cup final is the peak of both their careers.
Vunivalu starts for starts for the Reds this weekend.
Sonny Bill Williams has retired as well. The NRL must regret trying to make him vs Sam Burgess a major thing now they're pretending the latter doesn't exist. Their retrospective will just be him disabling Andrew Johns and then flouncing off.
There are loads of forwards you would put ahead of him in terms of actually playing NRL, but you could see some reputation-based honours coming down the line. It's probably why he won't fight Paul Gallen in case they start comparing records and realising who the actual forward of the decade was.
Gallen fighting a proper boxer is going to be some good veiwing. Lucas Browne is quite a step up from his previous opponents.
Who would be your top 5 forwards of Gallens era?
Over the entire decade I would go:
1. Paul Gallen
2. Sam Burgess
3. James Graham
4. Matt Scott
5. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
Burgess was the actual best player, but between injuries and union he can't beat Gallen for consistency. Jason Taumalolo is a similar story, and his crap/lazy defence gets protected a bit.
Waerea-Hargreaves went to a Union school in the same comp as the school I went too and was a bees dick away from signing with the Reds at one stage. Bloke would have been an incredible no.8.
Wiki is telling me he played for the Australian under 19s at the World Cup in 2007.
Cant fault that list.

Gareth Ellis would be up there if he had done a few more seasons.
We're just getting bashed to bits here, so it's a wonder we're within a score of it.
Vunipola brothers are done.
That is a definite try.
I lolled for a second there until I remembered Wales are on for a Grand Slam.
Brad Thorn.
Matching try was brilliant.
Vunivalu had a shocker in defence.

Sam Burgess day I guess.
Got on the Boncos @ $3
@Lewis
The media will have to go into overdrive protecting 'Kevvie' when they finish bottom again.
The forward pack is soft as shit. Alex Glenn puts an effort in though.
Q Cup has blokes who could do a much better job making tackles.
Ill be donning the Panthers jersey come grand final time.
@Lewis
Wayne Bennett doing Penrith 8-2 in the final or something equally shit is the dream. Latrell 'Latrell' Mitchell looking shit hot at full-back whilst still being a bit fat is pretty inspirational. Hopefully he tells 'Freddy' to shove his State of Origin up his arse.
Good God we are shite.
That Shredded Wheat hair makes Jamie Roberts' already impressive melon look gigantic.
They managed it last year. Speaking of Penrith, Canterbury getting their media mates to constantly whinge about them not letting Matt Burton leave for nothing is so transparent. CONTRACT SAGA... He's under contract. What?
Held up!
You blind cunt how much more 'definitive' can it be than his hand under it?
Wales have scammed this game. How are they doing it?
lol fuck off Wales. Shaun Edwards.
Jarryd Hayne is going to get the Chris Benoit highlight treatment, so they must have seen this coming when they screwed him out of all the individual awards in 2014.
His performances in those first two matches were as good as anything (that New South Wales halves pairing must be up there with the worst ever, and I think that try-saved finished Sam Thaiday off). What was he thinking going to the NFL? Now look where it's got him. If he stuck around he could have had this covered up for him.
The NRL being the BESTEST sport in the world and a good old fashioned greedy player agent would do it.
Looking back now he should have gone to French Rugby if he wanted to cash in.
The second worst Hayne-related career decision after his current saucy wife hitching her wagon to him in the midst of all this.
Probably paid to make him look less rapey.
Speaking of Thaiday I am guilty of thinking he was much much better than he was.
