Cordner gone, O'Donnell no doubt will be having a lengthy stint as well you'd think/ All of a sudden the Roosters don't look quite as imposing with 2 big men down.

I appreciate we will benefit next week but why aren't the Tigers benefitting tonight.

The only thing going for O'Donnell is the fact he completely flipped Simona over, so he didn't land on his head and instead he landed on his side. Should still be a grade 3-4 minimum.

If we go by the judiciary's last 2 weeks - in which a bloke who almost ripped a guys nuts off and another put a god damned crocodile death roll ankle lock on another - LOD is looking at 1 week tops.

Doesn't play for souffs though so he'll rightfully get the full 4-5 weeks or whatever a grade 4-5 lifting nets you.

Refs have lost complete control of this game. Tigers are just infringing at will every tackle, holding down, flopping in, breaking early, the works. Penalties could be 12 or 15-8 in favour of easts if they were being fair dinkum. Instead we get to watch this turd.

Be interesting to see how the roosters come out this half. You'd have to think Robbo would be peeling the paint off the walls with his halftime spray

Lol come off it. The penalties are in your favour and half of them were for nothing.

They keep saying this, but it was only because Simona reacted and put his arm out.

Simona doesn't have good self preservation instincts and he lands head first.

:lol: JWH, SBW, Moa, Friend, Aubo... Be afraid

Less Cordner and LOD. Regardless of if you still have those players you named come finals time, it still doesn't change the fact that your stocks are more depleted now without them, especially Cordner who will be a much bigger loss than some Roosters fans would have you believe.

Though if you want to delude yourself into thinking they aren't any loss to your team then by all means go ahead :crazy:

I might turn it off. Those 40 minutes were all I could have hoped for in this game. The Tigers have done it. They've made me not sick to my stomach.

Actually sorry Benji on three occasions did.

They are 8-6 to the tigers actually.

Every line break we've made there has been a minimum 5-7 second hold down on the tackles player. Tedesco meanwhile draws a penalty after a 0.5 second hold down after his half break.

Refs feeling sorry for the tigpies

Really happy with the signs for next season.

Potter has improved BMM ten fold as a player and he is really settling. He also persisted with Tedesco while he has been learning the ball playing role.

All our young blokes are putting in and being let down by bums like Benji throwing balls at peoples heads, hospital inside balls and not finding touch

Fact is we aren't a one man team like the storm

Simona even has good footwork when he's upside down lol.

Does anyone think Tedesco has been MOM so far in a beaten side?

Yeah well not sorry enough. We need all the penalties to be in this one. Quit your complaining.

Does anybody remember LOD's debut for Balmain against the Sydney City Roosters in 1999? He was sinbinned in that game. I seem to remember it was for fighting. It was an indication of things to come.
