It would never happen in other football codes.

I suppose that adds to the mystery of the game, however luck, poor refs and silly rules play a much greater part in the game than other codes.

Chief, where are you from? Ever heard of AFL? Carlton is the best team in the league and they have barely won a game. And you don't think refs play a part in other football codes. Ever heard of Bill Harrigan? And let's not get started on silly rules. Like the melee rule......

Why am I here? I swore I would never come to the vortex that is the "middle thread".

Carlton couldn't beat an egg with a chef's help.

When was the last time Souths beat Brisbane or Newcastle?????? 1988?

Bill Harrigan??? Are you talking Origin - you're kidding! NSW won the 1st match by 28pts - had nothing to do with the ref.

And by the way, there are less than 20 teams in either code - therefore its impossible for the 20th team to beat the 1st team. I knew someone would fall for that.
