2017 Auckland Nines

[Valheru]

The refs certainly handed that one to the Roosters on a silver platter, didn't they?

The amount of decisions that went their way today in all their games was almost comical

We did get a lot of luck today, it's true.

Didn't need it against the raiders though, what a useless bunch.

 

[Nealo 12]

Well a few calls went against us today but you have to learn to live with that , well done roosters ... should be an interesting season ahead for our two teams .

yep
our reggies were pretty average amongst lots of 2nd rate squads

our first string line up
well.. theyre a different kettle of fish : )

 

[isaiah]

in this case they are won on day one
theres daylight between these 2 & the rest
Parramatta seem to be quite good at this form of the game & know how to play it well
The Cowboys have included almost all their stars & seem quite serious about winning it

lock it in
should be a terrific final too

I love to say I told you so. It's no coincidence IMO that the same result as the 20's gf last year. Nines is like 20's, little emphasis on defence

why would the refs want the Roosters to win? Everybody hates us so the refs wouldn't help us. Stupid conspiracy theory by stupid fans who support stupid teams

Don't you see? Politis pays them off. He pays everybody off in the NRL to ensure the roosters win.

That's why we've won the premiership at an incredible 2 times in the 24 years he has been running the club.

Well when you say it like that, with facts and logic, of course it sounds far fetched.

 

[Dr Crane]

Wait....people watched the games?

The roosters have never won a game in any competition without referee assistance nor has any pass in the history of the club been backwards.

Additionally not one single penalty we have ever received has been fair.

Penrith got to the final on the back of defence

 

[betcats]

In a fast game like the 9s with no vid ref assistance the refs will make mistakes. I can live with that, its just a shame none of them went in the panthers favour, but that's footy.

 

[adamkungl]

Probably should have ran with that strategy in the final then too..

We was robbed I tells ya

 

[TheDalek079]

no you weren't

You hope.

A bad call that benefited the Roosters won them the game in the end. Id be f**king pissed off if it was a NRL game

In an NRL game the second Roosters try would not have been given, as the touchie had ruled he went out.

In an nrl game the touchie would have told the ref to refer it to a video ref, and it would have been a try

OK it would have gone up no try, because the touchie believed it was out. The video they showed was inconclusive I thought but maybe it would have shown him getting it down or maybe not. It was very close.

 

[Raiderdave]

You hope.

of course i hope lol
i'd hardly hope they do poorly !!
