That said that should be a penalty in that situation, not 6 again. Not thay it would make a massive difference there I just f**ken hate teams holding down deliberately with a minute to go knowing it'll be a set restart
Time off, penalty and a sin bin. Cynical as f**k.

I know we’ve had the wood over the Roosters, but it feels like the majority of games played between us are pretty damn close.

Glad the rorters lost, but I always think at the end of the game, the attacking side can keep going until there is a change in possession, regardless of the siren sounding. Gets rid of those cynical penalties.

For educational purposes, bunker can't use eagle cam because not every ground has it. So couldn't use it for the Docker-Clay try with Teddy offside.

That had to be near professional foul territory.

Quick PTB with no time left and they held down
They don't do professional fouls for discretions after linebreaks any more. None that I can remember since the 6 again era anyway.

Glad that is all over. Harry Grant really stepped up and took the game by the throat once Hughes went off. Tupou more rocks than diamonds, holds the ball over the line Roosters win. My blood pressure is f*cked after that game. Even with Hughes off i thought the Storm still had game breakers with Wishart and Grant.

If anyone has a better example of a team beating themselves I'd like to hear it...

Kick off that rolled out dead resulted in 2 tries before the roosters touched the ball again.

Crighton drop ball at the roosters 10M line resulted in a try

Walker inexplicable kick that went dead resulted in a try

Tupou dropping the ball over the line that he finishes 99/100
