That was a pretty bad grapple by Crocker on JWH when he scored, should get a week or two for that.

What an absolute miracle win given a) our horrible performance in the second half, and b) the sheer one-sided ineptitude of the refs.

Dead set, as a group they should all be put down.

Dave Taylor loses the ball, "strip, play on!" We lose the ball, "knock on Roosters".

Matt King loses the ball in the play the ball, "penalty, there was a hand in there". One of our players gets the ball kicked out of his hand when getting up to play it, "loose play the ball, scrum to Souths".

Cordner (i think) crushes one of their players in a beautiful tackle, "penalty, spear tackle, placed on report". Dave Taylor almost breaks one of our players necks by driving him into the ground, penalty but not even put on report.

It'd be comical if it wasn't so heart-breaking and infuriating to watch.

Standard Roosters refereeing performance really.

I predict we win our first penalty count of the year some time in 2014.

all I got from reading these comments is that "Millier was a Legend" is a dead set bogan he sat here through the hole match having a winge about how boring this game was and that it felt like it went for 3 hours. Don't u have anything better to do with your life than watch a boring game of football I feel sorry for you.why didn't you just change the channel.

Also howhigh is also a tool he was banging on about how he had bunniesman on ignore but than replied to 10 of bunniesman post after that and just made a ass outta himself.

It's gonna be a eels vs souths gf you can bank on it

The pride of the forum, the brain dead poster with the least to offer, the man with less quality in his contribution than bunniesman has good night sleeps. You are the very essence of a troll dickhead. Go smoke your boyfriend, you useless waste of oxygen.

Our halfback has played the first 40 minutes of his career and he hasn't been too bad. He'll only improve from here.

If we have good luck with our key players in terms of injuries, which we haven't the last 2 years, we will go deep into September.

Harsh judging a team on 40 minutes,the first 40 of a year, especially if they aren't losing after those 40 minutes.

40 stitches from a burst spleen due to hysterical laughter.

40,000 tonnes of bullshit from Goldenrod.

40 years of failure

next time, Goldenrod...

NEXT TIME!!!!

Actually, it looks like Dr. Claw has been sitting on his hand.
Sit on your arm for half an hour. Give yourself a handjob. Close your eyes and it feels like someone else is doing it.

File that under "things BunniesMan devoted his teenage years to discovering".

He's just about to take it out for a test toast...

Bad calls happen it's part of the game. Went through decades of hate against my Saints by the men in pink, but once we started showing them respect, it all changed!

What a great game to attend! It was a great atmosphere. Both Rabbitohs and Roosters fans were passionate though there was mutual respect out there. I loved every minute of it albeit I missed the U20s fixture.

It has all been said re: the game I'd imagine. Unbelievable finish capped off by one the greatest Roosters of them all in Minichiello. What a finish! Brian Smith is kidding himself if he was "confident" we were still in this game. For 75 minutes we were pedestrian at best against a South Sydney side who flat out impressed me. I left happy though uncertain about the 2012 campaign for the Roosters. I believe Souths fans were the exact opposite. That Souths Sydney will be a troublesome team for all with all their players on the field.

Inglis looks every bit the Storm version. Burgess is back in the form that saw him heaped with praise in 2010. Reynolds is a composed young halfback who has a presence about him out there on the field. He was continually barking instructions to his side, he carried himself like a veteran halfback. Merritt is due back as well. Sutton looks as fit as I've seen him as well. If they are blessed with minimal injuries, Souths have a side capable of the top eight.

As for my Roosters, the jury is out. We were infuriating at times. We played dumb, on occasion soft (e.g. the Sutton try). Mortimer I thought was a passenger when at the game though after watching the replay, he did ok all things considered.

This game should have raised alarm bells for Smith.

Rooster showed nothing special and played very average. They have hands around the ball and try to knock the ball out every tackle, spinning the attacking player, laying all over, disregard for the 10 and general grubiness. I think the ref did everything he could to keep Roosters in the game. In the end they got the win. Bunnies were the better team.

Gonna have to rewatch the game after uni today, I can't analyse shit when I'm drinking but all I know is when I watched it last night I felt like there was wayyyy too many mistakes from both sides and I was impressed by both five-eights and thought both teams looked fit.

I think Souths just have some stupid players and couldn't believe the last three minutes. Overall how would you guys say they played though?

Agree with most of that.

Souths played well. We played crap. And yet we still won. God help them if we were at our best.

That doesnt bode well for Souths 2012 campaign...

Then when Maria tried to get up and have a go, Burgess came over and applied a second grapple. 8-point try for certain, though if it had been awarded, then the Roosters would have been content to go to GP and we would have missed such a great LOL@5(c)uff$ moment.

Has John Sutton got something against Greg Inglis?

He just refuses to give him the ball. The one time I remember hInglis getting early ball should have resulted in Matt King scoring.
