2017 R9 - Warriors 14-13 Roosters @ Mt Smart

[Bowzy]

Another game, another team not giving away a penalty before the half..

 

[King hit]

It was a blatant professional foul by Tupou

 

[AlwaysGreen]

We need a 5 minute bin. I've got no issue with the sin bin there but in the modern game 10 minutes is too long

 

[Danish]

There was like 2 onside Roosters. They score easily if he doesn't hold Johnston down.

Rubbish. He held down a bloke who had surrendered in the tackle. Johnson just fell to the ground holding the ball, so toops was within his rights to hold him down

 

[Hutty1986]

Haha that Friend pass was 13m forward

Johnson got up and Tupou tossed him back down, don't know what you saw.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Friend might be the worst hooker in the comp atm.

 

[Hutty1986]

Scarlet Pumpernickeldigitalclockstahd was eyeing off an intercept there

 

[Valheru]

Sin bin was fair enough.

What isn't is the 4-0 penalty count

 

[JohnDoe]

Crapfest of a game. Both teams have been awful.

 

[Alderley Rooster]

Once again a team plays us and is perfect giving away no penalties. Its not even subtle cheating anymore

 

[Tommy Smith]

Warriors conceded 8 penas last week.

Zero so far this week.

Brilliant discipline turnaround.

What a shock it comes against us.

Friend might be the worst hooker in the comp atm.

He's gassed.

He does too much work and it affects every part of his game. Needs a spell either side of half time.

Nine the week before too...

If a club wants to pick up a good inexpensive spine player, they could do worse than targeting Watson.

Robbo clearly has no interest in ever giving him a go for us while ever tubs Friend is in the squad.

Honestly don't know what the obsession is with Friend. He is just a tackle bag stats man, plus is fat to boot so dies in the final 10 of each half (while also having a grand sook if ever he gets taken off, chasing many a interchange player out of the club in the process).

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Chooks fans might be crying about penalties but the forward pass rule doesn't seem to apply to them.

Because roosters are entitled to penalties, right?

 

[Danish]

He's gassed.

He does that work because he knows it's all he's got. Having 50+ tackles in your stat column papers over the dumb decisions and errrors.

Similar way guys like Gallen and Hindmarsh made their reputations

 

[Tommy Smith]

Because roosters are entitled to penalties, right?

No.

Because surely the oppositions discipline can't be so perfect so often against us.

You think it's normal for a team to concede zero pens in the first half?

Warriors 8 and 9 the two weeks prior.

And now zero so far. Hmmm shock horrors its against us.

Every team dead set is mate, you're kidding yourself if you think a team can play a perfect game. Penaltys could be called every single set it's up to the bloke with the whistle if he wants to call them or not.
