'12 | Rivalry (#1) R19 | Mon | Roosters 22-24 Rabbitohs | Allianz

The only contact he had with the ball was the outside of his palm touching it as he lost it over the line. Absolutely ZERO control of the ball.

You don't need to have control you mentally deficient troglodyte.

That has been ruled a try all this year, and for all of the previous 5.

The Roosters were robbed by pathetic officiating, pure and simple.

 

[skeepe]

We couldn't play to our best because there was some outright disgusting refereeing.

Sam Burgess gets penalised for some Easts scum holding him down in the tackle to milk a penalty. Of all our "forward" passes ONE was forward. The rest were no different to what they did all game and didn't get pulled up for. Then there's the BLATANT knock on, it didn't go sideway, not diagonally, it went towards the posts. Right infront of the ref. And it was ignored.

To still win after all that and being down by so much in the last 3 minutes is incredible. It was the stuff of contenders, not pretenders.

Top teams like Melbourne and Manly are getting smashed. We're winning, whether we win pretty or ugly, we're winning.

One of the best wins I've ever watched us get.

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

You are very, very f**king lucky that you didn't concede more penalties. The amount of time your blokes held the Roosters down was criminal. I could have taken a shit in the time Reynolds and Burgess spent in some tackles.

All of your forward passes were forward, plus about another 10 or so that should have been pulled up.

The Roosters were robbed blind by a dud video ref decision.

You're off your f**king head.

 

[Liddell]

There is definitely no downward pressure on the Leilua incident. seeing it front on he just drops it over the line and it's something I saw during the game but this replay says the referee got it right.

Simply was no downward pressure at all. Just stone cold failed to ground it.

It was a try, far worse have been given this year. The video refs are so inconsistent this year. You really wonder what the f**k is going on...

Its a lottery if they are going to award those tries , IMO it wasnt a try and nor have been many others like it but I can see where fans would blow up , as I would probably ( and probably have )

I really enjoyed the game , both teams played with a heap of enthusiasm , super finish as well.

I'm a Bunnies fan, and watching at the ground I thought the Leilua try would be given for all money. Seen a bunch of similar ones given BOD this season.

We were pretty crappy in the second half, although I thought that Klein's complete and utter refusal to blow the whistle for us was a little bit strange. There were definitely a couple of penalties/knock ons/forward passes let go.

Atmosphere at the SFS was absolutely phenomenal. Never seen a crowd go so ballistic when Reynolds dived over at the end. The banter between the Chook Pen and The Burrow was priceless.

Great advertisement for live rugby league. Anyone who went to that game as their first ever rugby league experience would be hooked for life.

I agree with you. Although it's a fair try under the current rules, I'm not comfortable with it. A player should plant the ball down in a more convincing fashion.

I think they've taken the 'downward pressure' element out of the rules to not losing contact with the ball in an attempt to make it more B&W

 

[the dude]

I thought they were going to give the try. 75% of the time it would've been given.

Haven't heard about that rule change, in that case it's a try. I knew about the no-separation rule but thought downward pressure was still needed.
