2017 R9 - Warriors 14-13 Roosters @ Mt Smart

[Alderley Rooster]

Because roosters are entitled to penalties, right?

No team is perfect. They have been holding down as well but no penalty

 

[vvvrulz]

Warriors conceded 8 penas last week.

Zero so far this week.

Brilliant discipline turnaround.

What a shock it comes against us.

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

Doesn't explain the two blatant forward passes, the poor 5th tackle options, and some lazy line defence.

I will agree a couple of penalties were pretty dubious but the Roosters haven't been great so far.
Score-line is pretty fair.

We've been terrible.

But penalties out of your own end probably account for 50% of attacking opportunities.

And so when we're being denied those chances that everyone else gets it makes a massive difference.

We got 9 last week which was stunning.

But 1 before that. 2 the week before. And now 0 so far.

So unless the opposition drops the ball we have to create all of our own scoring opportunities more than any club.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

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

Had a try correctly disallowed for a forward pass against Saints last week

You should watch more Warriors games.

 

[King hit]

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

Hindmarsh and Gallen got their reputations for making tackles and making dumb errors and decisions. Good one

 

[King hit]

Warriors butchered that

 

[wibble]

Nine the week before too...

I'm telling you, it will be a classic when you play us this year. Referees won't know what to do. They are so used to penalising the Sharks, and so used to not penalising the Rooster's opponents, their heads will explode trying to work out when to blow penalties...

 

[OzDragon]

Friends dummy half service is as bad as Reins was

 

[King hit]

The amount of forward passes Friend has gotten away with is ridiculous

 

[Valheru]

He was on the ground surely

 

[no name]

'I've got no try'
f**king blow the penalty then.

 

[vvvrulz]

Pearce vs RTS, 0-3

Change your plan mate.

 

[Danish]

Hindmarsh and Gallen got their reputations for making tackles and making dumb errors and decisions. Good one

They made their Reps by being stats men.

"Hindmarsh with another 50+ tackles this week, what a machine!"

"Gallen with 20 hit ups tonight. Such a workhorse"

Doesn't matter is they were all flops or 1 out settlers. Numbers on the sheet were all that mattered.

Gallen got away from it finally once Maloney joined the club

 

[Tommy Smith]

He was tackled surely!

 

[carlosthedwarf]

"What happened there?"

Vintage Ashley Klein

 

[Tommy Smith]

f**k me it's turning into Union.

f**k Klein.

 

[King hit]

Right call, the tackle had to have been completed

 

[Danish]

If we can't even get a penalty for a ducking rugby pass off the ground then we aren't getting one today

 

[no name]

Scrum?
Passing off the ground is a penalty.
