Crichton elbows player in the face - Roosters penalty?

[Valheru]

Would you mind refreshing my memory?

The Crighton late hit at the start of 2nd half or perhaps it was technically for high contact?

The Cordner one was for putting the raiders player in a dangerous position.

The thought the Crighton one was soft but lazy from him as well. No real need to touch him.

The Cordner one I thought was just plain wrong.

Both lead to tries. We have no one to blame but ourselves, you have to be able to defend your line even if you believe the decisions were wrong and we didn't do that at all last night.

roosters are so annoying, they are an outrage, they should be relocated

 

[BadnMean]

Context, where and when the penalties were awarded but it’s understandable that premise is a tad too difficult for you to grasp.

Perfect example, Raiders playing the ball 2m out from the roosters line, JWH slowing the play the ball down. Gets to his feet then pushes the Raiders player back to the ground. That is a penalty every day of the week. Whistle nowhere to be seen. The reality is, as hard as it may be to accept, you got the rub of the green last night, it was obvious.

These are fans accustomed to having their trainer make charge downs & they get the ball back, who think Rapana should have been penalised for escorting himself... not capable of comprehending the issue.

Chrichton’s one was a penalty as contact was made high. I didn’t agree with the Cordner one, but he did place the Raiders player above the horizontal.

Yep can't just look at totals when a lot of times teams getting smashed get a run of penalties late when a game is out of reach.

Or look at Souths vs Tigers last week. Souths won the penalty count 6-5. Tigers first penalty came in the last second of the 1st half and so could have no impact. They then got 4 in a 6 minute period when 18-0 down with 20 mins to go. They scored 2 tries during this period.

Tigers may have only lost the penalty count by 1, but they got smashed by the refs and then Cummins evened it up when it didn't matter.

It’s not just them. Fox Sports published an article saying the Roosters were robbed by the Rapana penalty being overturned.

Absolute rubbish.

yes most agree, roosters robed again, or was that 6 again , overturned , im confused

 

[blue bags]

While both players are entitled to jostle for position if they have eyes on the ball, they cannot change their line in a bid to impede another player.

Rapana clearly changed his line before taking the catch, but the Raiders were given the play-the-ball after the crucial captain’s challenge.

It was a crucial call at a crucial time of the game that went against the Roosters.

LOl- they really saying he escorted himself and that Morris deserves a penalty for acting?
Drivel of the highest order. Even daring to hold your ground and catch a ball vs the Roosters is a penalty. It's their ball after all.

Cmon, don't pretend you're not familiar with the well known rule in Rugby League, "moving past the line of the ball"............

I love how all the press ignore the Roosters negative defensive strategies, but invent shit like this.

Players move past the line of the ball to improve their body positioning to shepherd the ball over the sideline/dead ball line all the time...

Rapana is allowed to position his body similarly to take the most ideal position to catch the ball. Not the fairest & most equal position or the position that also gives JMoz a nice play at the ball, HIS best position to catch the ball. Never heard this "most stay directly in line with the ball" nonsense.

Being offside all night & sitting on players like riding horsies while they try to play the ball (JWH & the forward with the big Okunbor hair) was fairly glaring.

Geez , you are only focused on the COUNT and when teams got penalties.
What about being focused on why a team was penalised.

Instead of outlandish statements like your last , where you accuse the REF of "smashing" Tigers in first half and then "evening" it up when it did not matter.

What about saying, the dumb merkin Tigers team were pressured in first half and as a result gave away penalties. And Souths when it did not matter , relaxed , were pressured and gave away dumb penalties.

Yeh, I was being sarcastic.

It's complete bullshit and Fox should be embarrassed.

One or two I’ll give you but all night? If we were offside all night, it should be easy for you to give me a few screengrabs of these offences.

Yeah I understood you. It was a rare case in this place of someone chiming in to agree with a post.

Try the CNK 20m restart in the 33rd or so minute. KEary & others 2m offside. If the ref doesn't even have the awareness or cojones get you back for set occasions then take it as illustrative that blue murder was committed during the flowing parts of the game.

As for grabbing screenshots. Piss off mate. Do it yourself.
