'12 | R24 | Sat | Raiders 24-20 Roosters | Canberra

[blacklock]

we're making easy metres but our goal line defence is hopeless....

your kicker needs a beating too lol seriously...to miss that conversion is just criminal. in this day and age...

See the Roosters are actually brain dead geniused with discipline. The supporters having nothing to complain about.

The fans issue with the refereeing isnt how our dumb merkin players give away penalties, it's the fact that other teams magically become more disciplined (according to penalty stats) when they play us.

 

[Cheops]

Why wasn't it play on when the Roosters dropped it and McCrone chipped over the top? The Raiders never dropped and McCrone probably would have scored.

This game makes me cringe. Honestly 6th-8th will be fodder in the finals no matter who makes it.

Huh? This is a game between 10th and 14th.

Teams 7 and 8 did fairly well against 1 and 2 last night.

Bri Smith needs to move Moga to right centre to get at Croker, a noted spot defender. Kenny-Dowall is ineffective.
Smith won't do it though, as that would make sense.

It was called a forward pass. There isn't a similar advantage rule as with a knock on.

hes referring to the raiders making a run for 8th position ie if they somehow make it ... they will face that team in the first week of the finals.

They aren't even beating the Roosters at the moment. Not going to worry about them making the 8 just yet.

Pretty keen to see this waterbottle play by the roosters this half.

 

[Clifferd]

Up the Roosters!

Unfortunately with the way our team plays, we'd have a better shot at beating a top 8 team than a lower placed team. It's just how we roll.

 

[Pete Cash]

Across the board we kick badly.

Don't bother Kungl, I have tried to explain it a billion times and they still don't get it.

 

[Eddie.]

Mitch Pearce puts it dead with no pressure and then misses a tackle. really poor stuff.

This is actually true.

Probably unlucky that you only have 1 top 8 team (Bulldogs) in the last 2 rounds.

Listen I've got all the sympathy in the world as far as the refs suck but you guys are disgraceful with discipline. How can you expect to win a penalty count when you guys are so bad.

 

[Eddie.]

disgraceful stuff roosters.

Roosters player 1 metre offside from the kickoff = penalty

mccrone kicking for touch, advancing the mark 2 metres in doing so = play on.
