2016 R21 - Roosters 32-16 Broncos @ Allianz Stadium

[Vic Mackey]

I get the impression Copley is about to get very homesick

 

[Generalzod]

Honestly it was a clear double movement. He promoted the ball after the ball carrying arm had touched the ground.

Momentum got him over in my opinion it was a fair try.

 

[TheFrog]

Get your eyes checked.

Yeah I was wrong. He was nowhere near it.

 

[Lambretta]

I use the "would I feel ripped off it that was my team" rule when judging these bunker decisions

Yep - I would have felt ripped off. I can see that the arm touched the ground, but I didn't think he ever stopped moving and momentum got him over

I'm not unhappy with the outcome, but I would have called it a try if I were in the bunker

 

[Lambretta]

Woo hoo - that win has taken us from 15th to errrr 15th.

If Parra get beaten by 113 points, we'll move up a place - huzzah

 

[adamkungl]

Like Lambretta, I thought it was a clear try.

Another bunker highlight of the night was 45,000 looks at the first Broncos try which was clear as day. Absolute debacle.

I'm sick to death of listening to the whole 9 commentary. They are a bunch of whinging, useless clowns. They have very little constructive to offer, the blabber on about pointless statistics, worthless arguments and generally can't keep up with the action. No question there are a few issues with the rules and the over-complication of the game through technology, but in the end we need find a way to embrace it. I can't see why a call like this can't be solved with it really.

The real dumb decision the NRL made is not the bunker, it was signing a deal extension with Fox and 9.

 

[ram raid]

No way momentum got him over the line. Momentum was certainly part of it, but there was a whole of effort as well.

 

[lockyno1]

Well my Sportsbet account is healthy that's the positive....

On the negative Hunt will be picked next week, gosh he's woeful!

 

[ed-grimley]

I'd rather have Pearce and that's saying something!

Well my Sportsbet account is healthy that's the positive....

Wish you could have Norman back?

Poor old Locky - couldn't even come up with a plan for the Broncos to get back into the game. His post match interviews were really sad.

seeing him chucking a tanty and just not want to be there after the GF last year during the victory lap when he was suppose to be interviewing was awesome. Yelling out to him that he should be working and the guy next to me trying to put a cowboys hat on him probably didn't help it much lol

 

[GreenMachine121]

The commentary team need to stop talking through their pockets ... How obvious was it that some had bet Roosters 1-12

 

[Valheru]

I thought it was a clear try to the Broncos but we will take it.

Copley has been ordinary this year but he must of felt good about making James Roberts look 2nd rate. That attempt at a tackle was one of the worst I have ever seen.

 

[_Johnsy]

I dunno about you guys, but I'm enjoying watching Corey Parkers career end with a fizzle

Come on mate, show him some respect.

 

[TheFrog]

I think the question was whether or not the arm carrying the ball touched a blade of grass. You really could not tell for certain from the angles shown, and thus the ref's call should have stood, IMHO.

 

[lockyno1]

Wish you could have Norman back?

No. Wish we didn't get rid of Ash Taylor though and keep the lemon Hunt!

 

[Captain Apollo]

Being at the ground last night I was amazed that whenever the Broncos had the ball, they didn't have just one trainer on the field with them for their set of 6.Oh no, they had 2 trainers on the field the entire time. I mean FMD, how many trainers do they need to call out their plays for them?

 

[Snappy]

umm, 2 clearly

 

[Rhino_NQ]

alfie only counts as 0.5 trainers
