Hmmm... so when they called a knock against the Ranga from the raiders.... but then corrected it to a strip penalty.... you were blowing up?
Yeah whitehead hangs on to SST’s arm and drops it cold.. penalty raiders.. leads to the Cronk sin bin.. shouldn’t have had the ball

I really felt like the Raiders could have their own glorious upset of the Roosters like we did in 2003 but the Evil Empire wins yet again. I'm not sure if the Evil Empire is Sydney Roosters or the NRL...

Whatever, Logging Out for 2019!
Murderers in the EPL?

They need to continue with the call they make. It’s unfair on the raiders who simply took the tackle assuming it was 6 to go.

It's a real damned if you do, damned if you don't moment, but at they end of the day they made a call (even if it was wrong) that actively influenced what the Raiders did with the play you can't just change that on the fly.

Canberra took a tackle they otherwise wouldn’t have taken.

They also benefitted from the roosters physio interfering in play. Whitehead has no one in front of him in the chargedown. It was also a roosters physio that impacted the play.

And I suppose soliola taking keary’s legs out during that kick was aye ok also, right?

the correct call there was actually a penalty to us

Canberra should have thrown it around when Cronk was in the bin. They really didn’t take advantage of that, they just played bomb sets that whole time. They started trying to play some football when they went behind which makes you wonder why they didn’t try that when up a player.

So if we can just lift our attack a little and keep the defense the same we can possibly give it a shake next year

For clubs like us depth is a serious issue. Just compare our bench this game with the roosters

Anyway if was 12-2 at halftime to the raiders if the roosters trainer wasn't on the field and the 6 again wouldn't have mattered.

Yes it is much more fair to f**k e roosters over with a dud 6 again call than you f**k the raiders by correcting the decision moments later.

Your side got gifted the week 1 finals win with multiple dodgy as f**k calls. It’s called karma merkinbag

I agree our attack is bad and we are making efforts to fix that lol
