Don’t know why but you guys always lift and take it to us. Never confident playing Brisbane regardless of form and ladder positions
Everyone lifts against us.

It's the thrill of playing the benchmark and sole foundation club thats played every year since 1908.

We should be honoured to be held in such high regard.

Dude, you're out of your depth. The post you previously responded to had a link dated 16/02/2018 and says

"NRL referees will take into account whether a player injured in the act of foul play is likely to return to the field when deciding to use the sin bin for serious offences such has high tackles and shoulder charges this year.

In a scenario which could have seen Raiders enforcer Sia Soliola spending 10 minutes on the sidelines for his hit on a concussed Billy Slater last year, foul play infringements which aren't deemed worthy of a send off can now be punished with sin-binning.

The option for whistleblowers to use the sin bin for reportable foul-play offences means the men in the middle can immediately punish several indiscretions which have previously fitted into a grey area and forced their opponents to lose a player.

Many such as serious lifting tackles and shoulder charges have previously been put on report, but have not been considered bad enough to warrant a send off – even if it has left an opposition player injured or ruled unfit for the rest of the game."


Oh and your link also says

"Under NRL rules, referees could not send a player to the sin bin unless the victim was forced from the field due to injury with no likelihood of returning."

But keep going. You are embarrassing yourself.

And when was the last player to be sin binned for foul play prior to this year? I legit cant remember one.

Post carckdown, why has only 2 players (from the same team) been binned. Do you thin there should have been more?

Super coach Robbo needs more stars in the side.

Start by replacing Tupou with a pot plant and getting Lui out of the backrow.

They will have 8 world class 2nd rowers next year and no front rowers. Great recruitment. But its ok Albert says they are certainties this year!

Meh

Not even bothered tbh.

I'm just glad we're blowing out the cobwebs in these meaningless games.

We need to peak for 3 games in September, not now.

Bahahahahah!!

After the Souffs game you were told you had problems but "meh, not worried." When does one start to worry?

Towelled up? We lost by 2..

We're top 4 and the comp won't be won from outside there so that's all that matters.

The scrubs from 5-8 can have their own fun playing for runner up.

Need to win next week or you are a scrub. Anyways you look a scrub in waiting based on tonight...

Cool. You are looking goodfor that then based on the last 2 weeks.

But I am sure Wobbo has a master plan....

Round 24 2013

Cronulla 32 - 22 roosters


Round 25 2013

Roosters 22 - titans 30.

Not saying we will win the comp but if you think these last few games mean anything for top 4 teams, you are delusional.

We beat Souffs.

We've now had a couple of losses before the finals like almost every team that wins the comp.

If we lose next week I'll be worried but for now all I've seen is exactly what I saw in 2013 - a big winning run, 2 shitty losses in rnds 24 & 25, then back to business when it matters. Let's see if the pattern follows...

Bang on.

Souffs have lost 3 straight and I still see them as a huge threat.

Both Souffs and us just look like teams winding down and waiting for the real games to start where as Brissy had to win.

I could be wrong but let's see who rises in the finals...

Cronulla lost about 4 straight leading into the 2016 finals and looked like massive scrubs.

Then they flicked the switch. One or both of Souffs and Roosters will do the same.
