How that shot across the chin was let go, just shows the refs are gutless in the big moments, it was as blatant a high shot as you will see

Melbourne won anyways so they won’t care
Yeah got him, but walkers little arms barely hurt him. He was well enough to have a chat about it too. And if its a no call, how you can have a conversation and debate about the tackle while on the ground is beyond me. Its also frowned upon in league to stay down for a penalty, except if its the game on the line i guess. Im glad staying down wasnt rewarded.

Precedent. NRL have made a return rod for their own backsides.

Sombre sombrero roosters should have been playing at the 1 billion billionaire Stadium Moore Park. So it's out of our control 😞

😂 imagine my surprise to hear the storm were helped to the prelim by the refs on their own shitheap. Hopefully penrith belt them next week for the good of the game

It seems you've heard what you wanted to hear. He tried to gift the game to the Roosters by ignoring a blatant high tackle.

He made 1 f**k up early on in favour of Melbourne, then pretty much every decision for the rest of the game went the Roosters way.

Well with an 8-4 penalty count to Storm, he only has himself to blame. Hope he’s not too hard on himself
There’s a new rule for head high shots in front of the sticks with 2 minutes remaining to win the game

shocking call
Well after missing a blatant knock and Klein disappointed lol
oh he made up for that in spades after that

If storm don’t score that try and lose, that knock on call gets forgotten pretty quickly

Klein apologised to Tedesco for missing the knock on

roosters had enough opportunity to win it

I think most people are just bemused by the total incompetence of that call. He was standing 3m away with full view and came up with a ludicrous decision. Even if he wasn't sure he could have hedged his bets and called knock on and forced grant to challenge which he obviously wouldn't have.

Klein apologising is meaningless, how does that make a difference?
