[The Pelican]

Scary thing is, if Soward was on the field we lose this game.

Good game Pennies.

If we have Friend on the field we win by 13+

Was there one try difference in the end?

No, and it wasn't tonight either....

That's besides the point though, as if you give either try the game changes entirely. Both the panthers and titans could have been up at half time if things went differently and then the 2nd halves could have panned out another way.

Fundamental errors simply should never be made by video refs. on field, fine, and video on subjective stuff like obstruction. But not video for basics like knock ons, put downs, and offside

I agree 100% the Roosters were deserved there win this evening.

However the incompetence of the video officials is astounding and is not just this evening there is howlers in almost every game each weekend.

Please NRL change the rule to allow the on field referees to make a ruling of 'I have no idea' and hopefully then the video referees may get a few more decisions correct on there merits.

Too much dropped ball from both teams.

Roosters forward ran pretty well but their attack wasn't always great, Ferguson did prety well though. That left edge in defence (Jennings/Tupou) was pretty shaky though.

Mansour did so much work with the ball, more valuable thn Penriths forward pack.

Soward would've made big difference for Penrith, lacked any pressure with the kicking game and attack was standing flat alot of the game.

Trolls out in force after this game.

Good post. It was a game ruiner for me. Roosters fans should be well aware of how this can effect a game after the 2010 GF Morris debacle.
