2021 R22 Fri - Brisbane 20-21 Sydney @ Suncorp

[10$ Ferret]

So the roosters fundamentally won the game because they dropped the ball. Wtf?

no the Roosters won because the Broncos hit the Rooster in the head. Had that player been a Bronco , a St George player, Souffs or many other clubs he would have lay down and the penalty would have been given anyway

 

[roofromoz]

Dunno what I was masturbating more to, a Broncos win over the Rorters or a GWS win over Richmond

Giants did what now?

 

[Tenacious Titans]

and they're still talking up Tedesco WOW

 

[Chook Norris]

It was high contact with the head Braith ffs

it had to be a penalty

No mate - didn't you hear Braith? He said a high tackle is lucky to even be a penalty

 

[Valheru]

he missed the ball by the skin of its leather.
he's not playing at the legs or attacking the legs... but i get it, that action breaks dudes legs in half, can end careers... i understand it and i know why it's there... but i dont agree with legislating EVERY risk out of the game. I think that's a clean play that has some unfortunate risks... welcome to contact sport.

The problem is that if he does charge the ball down the contact is fine therefore the contact itself can't possibly be the issue.

How on earth did they give Teddy MOTM, Teddy tried hard but I think even he'd admit it was his best game especially in terms of red zone execution

 

[hineyrulz]

Bwandy and Gronk fellating Teddy, he had some nice touches but i reckon he bombed about 5 scoring opportunities by over playing his hand.


It was some Paul Gallen hogging.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

The commentary box trying to talk up Tedesco challenging a call with a minute to go as legendary lol

 

[Valheru]

and they're still talking up Tedesco WOW

Teddy willed us over the line today. Tried too hard at times for sure bit definitely best player on the field.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

#penaltyroosters. What a sham Flegler's hand hit the ball not his face.

His hand hit the ball, but his forearm made contact with the ball-carrier's nose. It's unfortunate for Brisbane, but these things seem to happen when a team is down on their luck.

 

[Pete Cash]

He never played the ball so it was still the same play. Dumb rule, but it's the rule.

Im sure I've seen players give away a penalty at the ptb to challenge the stuff in the lead up before

The way they're talking him up you'd think he was the only Roosters player to take the field tonight.

Played 80 mins with a massive cold sore.

Remarkable

Rhys Kennedy dropping the ball on the first tackle just killed us. Klein your an epic joke.

yeah forget the LB from TKO which led to Teddy's try. All that matters is Tedesco.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Agree it should have been a penalty; the guy got him across the face. Its a penalty every day of the week. The process though needs to be looked at; the events that led to the right decision were manufactured.

 

[roofromoz]

Big shout out to Boris Johnson who apparently snuck into the country and was at Suncorp tonight.

* you’re

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Must admit I thought the previous play was over when the tackle was called held, not when the ball was played?

Agree. This has set a dangerous precedent that if you want something checked on the previous play, you just give away a deliberate penalty to stop the play.

 

[no name]

The fact that they had to look at the tackle a number of times shows that it was a very tough call either way.
The contact made was minimal and I’m sure we’ll see similar incidents in future in which the Bunker will clear the contact.
Whichever call was made, there was going to be people disagree with it.
