Cummins wasn't out of line, Friend was.
A couple of times, Cummins gave Jake the explanation, but he kept hounding him. What else can a referee do in that situation? He gives his explanation, Friend keeps on and on, not sure what Robbo and Friend wanted him to say. And then they say that Cummins won't talk to them!
The NRL should make an example out of Trent Robinson, nothing short of a $100K fine will suffice. It is disgraceful to call out a referee directly like that, and the NRL needs to show that they will not stand for it.
Losing Jennings, Maloney, and RTS; Mitchell, Matterson, Hastings, Nikorima all debutants filling key spine rolls this year; JWH missing, Pearce missing, Cordner missing until today, Copley missing... that's a fair burden for any team to overcome.
Just watching the game again now and having some hearty chuckles at the tears being shed by the c**k fans in this thread.
No mention that Ah Mau, Cooper and Thompson smashed your pooncy pack all day.
Thompson in particular making Nappy take little peeks at every opportunity.
Guerra is pure puss and Cordner screwed the pooch royally with the game there for the taking.
All in all, eat shit Sydney City dickholes.
About 20 minutes of good footy from saints and the rest just trying to defend a lead. Stoked we managed to hold on after some farcical calls leading to roosters tries.
Hutts, seriously - if you think that St George played 20 minutes of good footy you need to start watching another sport.
OK, I'm being harsh - you defended brilliantly for 20 minutes at the start of the game and were gifted three tries by absolute geniused play by the Chooks. Sure Widdops kick was ok for the second try, but the defender should have cleaned it up. A lucky bounce at best.
A horrible refs call missing a pass that went 10 yards forward let the Roosters back in when they had no right, but as soon as we scored you guys just curled up your toes and prayed for the final whistle.
But your attack is pedestrian at best - if you can find a defence as geniused as ours all season, then I wish you all the luck in the World.
Yep I agree re. the defending part, and you guys made some unforgivable errors. But your blokes were gifted two horrendous decisions that lead directly to tries as well and we coughed up the ball at least 2-3 times when on the attack and in your 20. We should have put a score on but went defensive for some stupid fcking reason and really sh*t the bed when chooks scored their 2nd. Surprised your blokes didn't score at the death there to be honest
You mean just before the head clash penalty where we had a 4 on 1 overlap or the last set of the game?
Head clash penalty? Ohh you mean the one where our centre was shouldered in the head.
And I meant the last set of the game, btw.
