There is nothing like blaming the referees after a 41 point hammering.
That’s what some Wests Tigers fans did despite receiving an absolute flogging by rivals South Sydney on Thursday night at ANZ Stadium.
Despite the penalty count only being 7-6 to Souths, the blame was still directed at the officials.
Oh and it didn’t matter the Tigers only ran for 711 metres compared to Souths’ 1797 (according to Fox Sports). Or the Tigers had 50 missed tackles. Or that they let 10 Rabbitohs run for over 100 metres.

Jesus Christ. Souths are literally being piggy-backed by the refs. What a joke. Kill me honestly I’m so sick of this bullshit #NRLSouthsTigers

These refs need to be retrained, this game is all kinds of messed up and if no one sees that there all blind there have been way to many bad calls, I get the tigers aren’t there best now but why would you bother when the ref is clearly being PAID OFF!!!!!! 😡😡 #NRLSouthsTigers
