Well the better side probably won, but gee the ref gave us absolutely nothing in the second half, with a number of decisions going against us killing any chance we had:
- Pauli's tackle in the first set. Nothing wrong with the tackle, roosters player just lost the ball.
- Vai dropped ball while playing it, just like the lost ball from roosters later in the half which was a penalty.
- the shoulder charge on Morgan plus elbow to the head. If not a shoulder charge then penalty for elbow
- not many would remember this, but in the last 10 mins, we were on the attack peats runs from dummy half. Neither marker was squared but were involved in tackle. No penalty yet we were penalised several times for markers not square. This would have given us a set on their try line.
Just those decisions killed us. Plus I am pretty sure roosters were off side a fair bit, especially out wide. Cordner was pretty close to off side on the Kelly tackle for the kick out on the full.
