'13 | 2nd PF | Sat | Roosters 40-14 Knights | Allianz

[STORM.99/07]

I watch from overseas on livestream, the NRLS official broadcaster for those who live in countries with no agreement, and we get all the commentary team in between commercials, Joey has just let off about 400 f**kin hells while they prepare for the halftime segments ... I think he's a bit emotional

maybe he needs his ElephantJuice.

 

[Snappy]

As a neutral its pretty funy watching the meltdown going on here.

There's been two bad calls,

1. the missed forward pass that lead to a try,

2 Roosters penatly when it shuold have been Knights scrum feed.

Yes these are bad errors, but people calling it a fix are really making themselves look really stupid.

 

[Apey]

Frustrating to be an extra 6 points down because one of the least picked up infringements, the short "line ball" (forward) play. Every team gets away with one but it's pathetic how often it goes uncalled.

We will do well to be within 10 at full time given everything that transpired in the first half. Buderus is a huge loss for this game.

 

[Pete Cash]

Then we see Ray Warren losing his marbles on the penalty for the strip, bloke could barely find his voice when $BW threw a pass that Eli Manning would be extremely proud of.

Eli would have just been happy to complete the pass atm.

So the roosters up by a little over a touchdown

 

[MacDougall]

The Knights scramble D is something to behold. One try from a kick to the best vertical jumper in the NRL and the other off a forward pass. The Rooster's are going to fold the same way the Bunnies did last night I reckon.

 

[simostorm]

Roosters getting into gaps too easily.. Knights defense in the middle needs to improve.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I thought the penalty was for a strip when the tackle was complete.

Nothing to do with how many blokes were in a tackle.

Rabs has lost the plot.

 

[Joker's Wild]

The Roosters are very good at knowing when to break the rules. I think we're shot here. We're brave... but I don't think we have it in us. It'll take an almighty halftime speech by Bennett to get us up for this.

I'm proud of us, though. Our defence under immense pressure has been outstanding, particularly our scramble. I think we'll keep showing up for each other, but the Roosters are in too much of a rhythm now and we're running out of energy.

They certainly know how to stretch the rules

Half time break saved the Knights here and it's gonna take a huge effort to win.

3. No sin bin on Napa.

4. 6 again call when it bounced off the guy's head.

Great scramble defense from the Knights. They are still in the game but need to stay in touch.

That is exactly what it was for. What Warren was insinuating was nuts. I don't recall seeing a referee EVER blowing a strip penalty after a bloke had fallen off well and truly before hand. Seriously, I wonder whether he actually watches football anymore...

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

More SBW love in from Nein.

 

[Sir Biffo]

Yeah caught that also. The guy must have said something pretty offensive because they walked a bit further up the tunnel then motioned to turn around but kept walking.

He said "that was a cheap shot with the elbow" just watched it again

 

[MacDougall]

Settle down kiddo...

Who is that disgusting pig?

 

[Diesel]

"Our channel 9 player cam has been on SBW all night"

Of course it is, there's no other player on the field

 

[Someone]

remember the page 33 prediction of someone...

knights 20- roosters 16

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Knights still in it. Roosters though look too dangerous with the offloads.

 

[MacDougall]

I'll have a crack. Knights 22 - Roosters 18.

JWH should have been a penalty & put on report (looking at McKinnons penalty last week) only difference I guess is slater wasn't on the receiving end of the contact tonight. That can be theonly reason a penalty was not given.

Blatent forward pass.

Blatant strip missed 30m out from roosters line.

given the score would be 6-4, at worst. Massive f**k ups.

 

[Cletus]

it was 1 on 1 when the ball was stripped

Yeah what the duck was that! Should have been a knockon with roosters feed, refs are hopeless.
