Archer wins the grand final

[Frank_Grimes]

What trains do you catch that serve beers? Probably too poor to afford an iphone so wouldnt know that they have the internet on them

It's still pretty lame that you're on LU straight after the match. I know I wouldn't be.

Look at the scoreboard, better still look at the inscription on the trophy.

Was actually asking this tonight, is Melbourne still Inscribed for 07 and 09?

 

[Apey]

Forever an asterisk next to the 2010 Premiership..

 

[Frank_Grimes]

I would be interested for you to point out which ones went against the Dragons, you struggled last time I asked you to do this when we defeated Brisbane so this will be a laugh.

How about the Roosters' very first try?

first roosters 'try' wasnt a try.


roosters fans are so cut up bahahaha

3 grand final losses in a row....chokers tag coming your way

 

[TheRev]

Sorry. Did I miss something? Yeah Morris put his foot on the line. But the biggest clanger of the match was awarding the Roos$ters first try.

What other calls are people upset about?

Precisely, neither of the Roosters tries should have been allowed, but I wasnt blowing up because the mistakes were kind of understandable, i.e. I understood why the ref made the decision he did.. and when we went in behind at half-time, I knew it was because of our dropped ball, regardless of the ref mistakes.

As for the 2nd half, they were all legit tries, the Roosters got nervous and kept giving us teh ball back, we didnt really play that well, but thats the pressure of a grand-final, teams play ugly.

 

[Enoughsaid]

i could'nt split Archer or hayne for the Churchill Medal

 

[steela]

the first 2 trys shouldn't have happened, those saying the refs won it for the dragons somehow didn't see the bad calls going the other way.

refs had a shocker, better team still won however

What was wrong with Aubussons try?? As for the first try under the rules it should have actually been a penalty try because it is illegal to prevent a try with your foot

 

[steela]

only it didn't touch his foot, it was grounded on soward's leg... knock on

 

[18to87]

Hahaha this is hilarious - all the Dragons hate - love it.

The better team won and deserved to win. The refs were crap for both sides.

Start worrying about how to beat Saints and probably the Broncos next season.

1 unlawful try to the Roosters. 3 to the Dragons.

1 wrongfully disallowed try for the Roosters. 0 to the Dragons.

Do the math

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

No different to 2009 or 2007, put an asterisk next to it

Probably the only team in history that I know of that relies on penalties & dud opposition calls to win games

 

[Red Bear]

How the f**k did they miss Brett Morris going out? That's just appaling from the touchie. Apalling.

Other than that I felt the Dragons got the rub of the green, although winning like they did takes away a bit of that. Dean Youngs try was maybe fortunate. Perrett could've easily gotten a penalty when he was pushed without the ball, dragons scored off the next set off the drop out from memory. I thought Anasta was stripped in a two man tackle which wasnt given, before the Drags got a penalty infront of the sticks.

Deserved the win being the best side all year, but frustrating to have so many sh*tty decisions across the day.

You mean the Refs and the Broncos, surely.

Because today you didn't win sh*t. You might have won it fair and square, we'll never know.

Victory will go down as a farce. Worst grand final refereeing in the history of the NRL. Without question

 

[Schiltzenberger]

first roosters 'try' wasnt a try.

It was more legit then most of the Dragon's tries.
The guy was reaching out for a try, Soward pretty much stripped it, play on, Anasta got there first.

It's like 1 on 1 strips in the field of play, if the defender strips it the team that had the ball can come through and pick it up and play on.

I hate both teams but the Roosters were definitely robbed by some very poor decisions.
As for the Dragons being the better team, that was only after they got that lead and could relax, the Roosters were then playing catch up footy in the wet.
Before the Dragons got their lead and some more dodgy calls it was anyone's game.

Although, I think if Perret didn't tackle Morris in the air the whole game could've been different. Morris was dropping the ball before Perret hit him, the Roosters would've had the ball in a good spot and if they scored they would've got momentum, who knows what happens then?
Instead he did something dumb and a minute later the Dragons get another dodgy call go their way when Morris pushed Perret, they scored straight after. Those couple of minutes had a massive impact on the game.

:lol:

take it like a man you bitches, rugbyhighlights i'm looking in your direction!!!

 

[skeepe]

What a ridiculous thread started by an absolute moron.

The best team won, the refereeing was atrocious both ways, end of story.

What a bunch of f**king whingers.

1 unlawful try to the Roosters. 3 to the Dragons.

1 wrongfully disallowed try for the Roosters. 0 to the Dragons.

Do the math

First 2 tries should not have been tries

young try should have and was BoD

not sure where your third dragons unlawful was and the carney forward pass looked forward from every angle except the top view
