08 :: SF1 Fri :: Warriors 30 Roosters 13 @ Mt Smart (SYD eliminated)

Congratz Warriors

If they produce a 1st half like tonight though, personally i think Manly will win comfortably, they would have put 1-2 more tries on, and wouldn't offer up some of the soft stuff that the Roosters did at times in the 2nd half. Should be a good game though

On the penalty try, correct decision

1 of the shots from side on show Mini half a body length in front, starting to drop down onto the ball, and Hohaia locks his arm which would have reached the ball 1st, and moves across into Minichiellos line to prevent him even further

Pfft the penalty try was a shocker, I've seen worse than that not given this season. Just typifies the inconsistent crap we've been dished up all season. They got the held-up call right though.

 

[Blaze]

I'm cheering for the Warriors but I can't believe those 2 penalties from the touchie, what bullsh*t. Teams have been allowed to get away with shielding all season, every team does it and suddenly referees want to start penalising it second week of the finals?

The Aubusson one was blatant. The Sa one wasn't a penalty imo.

Also I would be fine with the penalty try decision... as long as there was some consistency regarding the application of it throughout the season by the officials.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Oh, and too the Aussie based people, the delay would have sucked, but you get the bonus of getting a decent commentary

be thankful for that, because the NZ version tonight was abysmal, even worse than normal

 

[j0nesy]

Nice knees by Mini. :roll:

 

[Roosterphin1]

Well done Warriors but seriously I have had a gutful of the refs attitude towards us.

Two penalties for obstructing the chasers....f**k me it happens every kick, every week.

Why is it all of a sudden not a penalty for a player being inside the 10 from a kick...ie warriors first try.

How can a try be scored when a player loses the ball?

Warriors offside all night but we are the only ones penalised.

As for the penalty try if you dont give that a penalty try then remove it from the rule book. Mini has his right arm he scores simple as that.

Disgusted

 

[Timmah]

Your possession was close to 56% first half, almost everything went your way roosterphin... little to do with the ref.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

I think it's a shame (shock, horror coming from me) that the Roosters couldn't get with it in the 2nd half. They are probably more capable of playing better than that and to just have nothing was a bit unfortuante on their behalf, but sometimes that's the way it works I guess.

 

[NZ Warrior]

That was a gutsy match by the Warriors and I'm truly proud of the guys.

There were a few bizarre decisions by the VR's. You would have hoped that they had got it pretty right by now.

But it was a brilliant night for the Warriors and their fans (and the bandwagoners). Go you good things go!!!

 

[wolverine]

The Roosters were outplayed & i think the Warriors are on a bit of a run now!!! I think if Manly are off their game the Warriors may come and get them!

You should be proud of them mate. They've played their two best games of the season back to back. Who's to say they can't play another two great games?

I suppose you could call me a Warriors "bandwagoner", I became one as soon as the Dragon's lost to Manly.

 

[Fast Eddie]

NZ Warrior is a bandwagoner.

 

[Dragon_psa]

Me too!

 

[Ribs]

Hey, nice wagon.

Go Warriors.

 

[Tommax25]

How grubby was those knees by the roosters fullback? jeez, the old crock gets gets given a try for almost nothing and he still wants more

 

[jarro]

Great win to the Warriors ... they're really on a roll.

Roosters .. again .. were woeful in the second half :roll:

Minichiello is one of the fairest players in the NRL. He does not play dirty and his comeback from injury is truly admirable. You sir are a moron.

congrats warriors, unstoppable with the crowd behind you and playing against a side with countless problems, a win was what most people expected but great comeback nonetheless.

 

[Hari Kari]

hahahaha Roosters. :lol:

2008 finals record.

Loss

Loss

Suckers

How was the warcry hitup from Wiki? New best shot for his highlights reel.

Yes, of course, he accidentally led with the knees.

Piss off, dipsh*t. How more blatant could it have been?

those knees to vatuveis back beg to differ. and coming back from injury has nothing to do with being a fai or dirty player.
