The 6 again wasn't correct though- every still I've seen of it shows it coming off Roosters shoulder- hence why it bounced so far & fast. Rooters fans have tried to mythologise it into being "wrong but corrected" after the fact and the refs jumped on as a way to cover their arse. But it's simply not clear. Suits the agenda though.

There's also the "Raiders had all the ball but couldn't score" crap. Raiders are the only team that scored a fair dinkum try in the game, without a lottery ball leg up ala Rooters suddenly getting another 6 in good position after the trainer incident & another following the "6 again, nah just kidding, handover now" incident.

You had the lucky breaks & won the GF- just accept it as much.

If you watch it without your lime green glasses on you can see the ball didn't touch Tedesco. I haven't seen any neutral fans or commentators say they think Tesdesco touched it.

Lesson here is refs make dozens of mistakes a game and fans need to cop it. Happens in every sport.

If you want a mistake free sport NFL is your best bet...although Saints fans who were robbed of a Super Bowl last year would disagree with that.

You can't be anything more then a casual NFL fan, if you think it's a "mistake free" sport from an officiating perspective.

Not to Cummins though was it?

Sure it's obvious to those with replays and multiple slow mos but live these decisions are made and lived with for both sides.

It's like a commentator waiting for a replay to say how bad a decision was.

No it wasn't clear to him and yes we generally live with it but the narrative of this game has been to "live with" the multiple incorrect decisions against us but not anything that may have slightly benefited us.

Papalii had Cronk, Crichton and Tedesco in front of him. I know Big Pappa is a gun but saying it was going to be a try is a bit of a stretch.
Hahaha. Cronk's the only one who would have got a hand on him before he crashed over. It's a legitimate try-scoring opportunity denied by illegal play.

Harsh? F*ck me, some people are stupid.

lol we had Roosters fans begging for this thread to be closed and telling everyone to get over it yet they've kick-started it once again.

That winners salt must be delicious.

Sounds like you have already. You may even be saltier than Robbo.
Just 2 for now. Will be ready for a third October next year.
I do like the fact no one is debating the decisions any more now that robbo had it clarified. They were so adamant that it wasn’t a penalty to keary. They even tried reinterpreting the rules to suit their argument. It’s clever that you are now deflecting the conversation to paint robbo as salty. Nice move.

Constantly seeking validation from others is very off-brand for a team named the Roosters (cocky, cocksure).

We are cock a hoop. Not sure where we are seeking validation though. An article appeared which is relevant to this thread. Referees conceding they also got key decisions wrong that went against the roosters. Nothing wrong with protecting your legacy.
