Titans and Cowboys have let me down so far in tipping. I really thought the Cowboys would put up a contest at home with their roster. 3 from 5 so far (with the Cowboys/Roosters game still playing).
You are right, but with so many refs they still get it wrong, which is what annoys me. It happened to the Roosters against Penrith in the first final last year, can't recall exact details but the one that stands out this weekend was Parra vs Manly, Manly's Jessie Alphabet ripped the ball out in a tackle, ref calls knock on. We see 5 x video replays before the scrum, all refs, touch judges and players see it was the wrong call. Yet it doesn't get changed. However if it was a tiny slap in the face from an arm bouncing up off the ball it'd get changed to a penalty. It is this part if the game that annoys me - either use all the refs to their potential or don't use them all.

Same with Titans, they shouldn't have lost that game. I can't believe the Knancy boys beat the Warriors either - I had they Knance's penned in for the wooden spoon.
