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.

Or drop the ball

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I'm just numb to this dogshit now. This isn't the Rugby League I loved growing up. V'landys is the worst thing to happen to it possibly ever.

Giants did what now?

Giants did what now?

No shit. Final quarter, GWS 105 Richmond 47

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

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

He made mistakes but they all did. Teddy was our best tonight.

 

[Big Pete]

Under the current rules it was the right call, but a few months ago when it had to be a reportable offence it shouldn't have been given.

All in all, it was a typical Ashley Klein performance. The Roosters got the majority of the calls, but also had the biggest clanger go against them.

These results happen all the time, the 'better' teams get those calls, a section of the fanbase cries foul and everyone forgets about it the next season because it didn't have a bearing. It won't happen in a Grand Final so there's nothing to be upset about.

 

[Chook Norris]

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.

I'd day the reason why was because Perenara was looking at the ball and not the contact. Pereneras comments at the time showed he had no idea what it was being referred for ..

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Griffin is sparkling personality.

 

[blaza88z]

Rhys Kennedy channelled his inner Ashton Sims tonight and only Brisbane/Melbourne fans will know what I am talking about, if we get through that set and make them cart it 80 metres who knows what happens but I guarantee you it wouldn't have been a gift win for them

The guy is the most error riddled forward we have in our team, no wonder Melbourne didn't want him

If it's not obvious initially it's probably not a penalty

 

[Valheru]

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

No that was all TKO

There was 79 other minutes in the match though mate.

I'm reasonably confident teddy will be a universal 3 point recipient in the roosters sub forum. Who would you give the 3 points to?

 

[nick87]

Glad the roosters won
Think that was the fair and just result. I think both penalties at the death were as the rules are in 2021 but not something im super keen on.

I guess this is just the way the game is now.

 

[The_Frog]

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.

If they hadn't just lost the ball after winning the short kickoff all this would be moot.

Mate, the charge down rule is forever old.

Look I don't care about all that I just wanna know how to organise one of them hoe stays?

so angry my poor fingers couldn’t mash the phone screen fast enough

This could be the worst Mattty Nayyyyyyyyyyyble promo ever.


Not even Mr Fahrenheit can save it,

I think the Broncos did very well, but the Roosters always seemed like they were the better side, and I was confident that they would win.

I disagree that the two penalties shouldn't have been awarded. The Flegler tackle hit the guy in the head, and that has to be taken out of the game. The Radley tackle was really dangerous, and was definitely a penalty. In the NFL, taking out the standing leg of a kicker is about the worst penalty you can get (it is about the only penalty that effectively turns over possession from one team to the other), and it makes sense because it is a leg breaker. I imagine we wont see Radley again until at least the finals.

nothing to do with Kennedy knocking the ball on. Go watch the best hits of Jason Smith

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Say what you will about Kevvie's coaching, but listening to his presser he is a class act.

Can you imagine if the result had of gone the other way....

 

[Xplozive]

Thought that was an entertaining game of rugby league.

My takes from it are:

Radley had a dud game. Couple of errors..atleast 1 cold dropped ball and I think he threw a pass on his inside that wasn't on. Or maybe that a pass to him that he got snapped and lost it. The penalty against Albert was fair but also don't feel like there was any malice in it. He was clearly going to charge down the ball but unfortunately took the legs out of Kelly.

Tedesco had a great game buy threw a couple of average passes.

Keighran needs to stay at the roosters. His goalkicking is great

Manu was quiet

Tupou was great

The high shot on toupinoua was fair call. That's a penalty any day of the week this year.

Good on the Broncos for putting in a great effort. Not much else I can say but they were ahead on the scoreboard for most of the game. Roosters were only ahead after that field goal. Roosters probably ended up with a lucky win and I'm happy with that because uppppp the chookies.

Still got that Broncos flag of the 90's dusting away under your bed?
