The thing is we copped so many bad decisions that got fixed later in the season, but did nothing to help us.
I still can't fathom how you can cop 7 weeks for standing still, but not even get a penalty for lifting your forearm. It's bullshit.
That decision makes my blood boil. Seriously If Snowden was SBW he would of got off and everyone would be saying accidental collisions are a part of the game. If we had Kade out there I think we would of gone much better.
The NRL is a reactive management rather than pro-active and consistent. If all the accidental collisions resulted in 7 week bans there would be hardly any players left and since when is put your hand down on someones face ( Smith on Maloney ) a penalty ? I wanna watch footy , the crap going on with the game is just ruining it.
At least some in the media admit it, Roy Masters acknowledged that the turning point in the game was the SBW blatant forward pass.
Little consolation frankly.
Can you imagine if the Roosters had of lost on the back of a forward pass, the media wouldn't let it rest.
We beat you by 40!
