I see the NRL's "penalise the roosters out of the game" mantra is still in full effect.

Amazing that a team who can't complete a set have been so perfect in defence. 1 penalty conceded in defence by the Cowboys all night

Will be a cracking game next Sunday arvo. Expecting a tight battle.

Ferg speaks like he has had a stroke

 

[Danish]

The Roosters deliberately give penalties away to reset themselves. Also Roosters niggle way too much in the ruck and Napa is a loose cannon.

Of course they do you dumb f**k. If such a tactic is so successful, why don't other clubs adopt it?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Brisbane Donkeys and North Queensland donkeys getting thrashed at home,both would have lost by 50+ if they played away,disgraceful 1st round efforts by these Queensland scrubs.

 

[Xplozive]

So who got motm? Pearce?

 

[Jason Maher]

f**k me you know how to whinge Danish.

You guys were making 70m every set, if anything it showed how poor we defended. The Cowboys got sucked into this media hype about fast play the balls and where jumping to their feet every set. When we should have wrestled more. The Roosters played the 2014 way and wrestled.

I can't see Green falling for that one again.

Bad loss mate. Im a fan of the cows, specifically thurston. He had many opportunities in that 2nd half but nothing really came of it. Rd 1, only the start of the season

They are going to have to change there defensive structure asap else it's curtains though.

 

[Tommy Smith]

10-2 penalty count wasn't it?

And we belted the Cowboys.

Forget our discipline. We just don't get penalties. Fewest in NRL by 20 last year. Nothing has changed in 2015.

Doesnt matter. We won

 

[redvscotty]

You get penalised a lot because you're all merkins.

 

[Tommy Smith]

And we don't receive any because we're too good and the refs wanna even things up.

No need to get so rude.

You can't give Souths that many opportunities next week with giving away penalty after penalty. Reynolds will keep getting repeat sets and pile the pressure on you guys until you crack.

Roosters will need a different strategy.

 

[kbw]

Every penalty against the Roosters was deserved, but I feel for them as they can't buy one. When the Cowboys were trying to pin them in their own 10m, they were so offside it was ridiculous.

Yep Danish always whinges and most of the time is arrogant.

Yep. We consistently receive the fewest in the NRL.

Doesn't matter what the opposition do. They can do whatever they want knowing they won't get penalised.

2 penalties. Just pathetic.

Agreed.

All the best for Monday. I want you guys to beat the Storm.

Listening to the ramblings of Phil Gould and an honest to goodness senile Ray Warren on this "roosters give penalties away on purpose" claptrap makes you an idiot.

It doesn't explain the complete lack of penalties we get year in year out, nor does it explain why we have been getting smashed with penalties for a decade, only 2 years of which we've apparently been employing this genius tactic

One was for a kick off that went dead. I love the line that we don't get penalties because we are indisciplined. It is too funny. I mean we can't even get a penalty when Thurston lunged at RTS with his leg and tripped him. The officials must have simultaneously blinked.
