2017 R16 Sat - Roosters 25-24* Storm @ Adelaide Oval

[Pedge1971]

Geez that was a penalty for the tackle on Ferguson.

 

[MKCS]

Our rep players aren't playing well and admittedly it's probably due to fatigue from the Origin match which makes me question why they'd be included if they're not capable of performing to a high standard.

 

[TheFrog]

How does the location change whether you win.

Crowd in Adelaide would be expected to root for the Storm. Its like a home game for them...almost.

 

[Danish]

Why are refs always too stupid to penalise dangerous tackles on people jumping for the ball?

Yes you can tackle attackin players int eg air, but you still aren't allowed to put them in a dangerous position and flipping a bloke till he lands on his shoulder is quite obviously does so

Yep that was f**king dangerous.

 

[Uncle Kraka]

Ferguson is lucky he wasn't a defencer. Would have been in a dangerous position.

 

[no name]

Fergo has been walking around for 5 minutes holding his elbow and shoulder.
Gaz: I don't think Ferguson is 100% fit.

But south Australians and Victorians hate each other don't they?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Worst Roosters performance since 2009.

Only because Melbourne is closer and more might travel there.
I think there is a fair bit of hate towards victoria from south Australia

Yep.

 

[no name]

I reckon his fingers were down, but can see why they stayed with the original call.

You still aren't allowed to be put in a dangerous position as an attacker. Refs never call it though as they just write off any tackle in the air as ok since it's an attacker

 

[moffla]

Could have gone either way.

 

[beave]

Just give the purple pricks the Summons Provan trophy.

f**kers are on a whole different level.

 

[Danish]

They all hate Sydney more than anything else.

It's an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Getting flogged by Melbourne's reserves.

And we're 2nd lol

Just give them the trophy now indeed.

 

[Unscrupulous]

If we are to lose this, I genuinely hope we are absolutely trounced.

 

[beave]

Wonder if Bromwich will be lining up for the night clubs tonight?
