Michael Ennis is bringing rugby league into disrepute.

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

But here's one thing that f*cking sh*ts me to tears more than swearing. It's thinking Always Green is posting only to find out its actually Fire! Is avatar plagiarism a new form of trolling?

Lol. True.

 

[Angry_eel]

If true its bad for the game. what example does it set for the juniors?

 

[Ulysseus]

Tomorrow at work walk up to your boss, or a customer, and tell them they are f**king bullshit and to get f**ked a half dozen times.

See if it is accepted without consequence.

btw, I am the boss and our customers suck at english

 

[skeepe]

Poor old Hindy, hopefully the old mate can get a win soon!

I'd rather he didn't.

Anasta is a bigger issue for mine, and not at the referees per se, but the way his complaining affects his team.

The Roosters don't cop it any worse than any other club, we all get howlers from time to time and we all blow up about them.

The thing with Anasta is that he believes he's justified every time he corners the referee, and as a result he's instilling a belief in his fellow players that they're being shortchanged. More often than not heads drop because the rest of the team thinks "yeah, the ref's against us" (not to mention the fans)... then the attitude declines.

The mark of a good player and team is how you overcome shit calls.

It's why the Roosters are 14th, and not 4th.

From today's tele:

MAYBE Braith Anasta was on to something on Monday night when he said referees' calls rarely favoured the Roosters. According to Fox Sports Statistics, the Chooks have conceded 579 penalties (or 6.6 per game) since 2009, which makes them the most penalised team in the NRL. They have also received the fewest penalties.

During the same period, they have won 17 penalty counts, but lost a whopping 61. So why are the whistleblowers picking on the Bondi boys? Are they ill-disciplined? Or is there some sort of conspiracy? You be the judge.

Roosters fans will have stats that show this trend continues all the way back to 2006. Consistently the most penalised team and also consistently the receivers of the least penalties.

We've had 3 coaches and probably 60 odd players come through the club in the past 6 seasons, so bit hard to blame it on culture. Even if you want to blame it on a lack of discipline, having no discipline doesn't explain all other sides suddenly becoming supremely disciplined when they play us.

We've finished everywhere from top 4 to wooden spoon in those years as well, so its not like the finger can be pointed at us just being poor on the field all the time.

To me, its a clear case of refs going into games with preset opinions on which teams they have to watch. Much like why Jason Ryles gets pinged for way more penalties than most. Refs have him earmarked as penalty merchants so watch him more vigilantly.

Its not a case of corruption or any nonsense that the tinfoil hat brigade will whip out. To me its a case of poor coaching of the referees.

I think the refs just don't like Brath Anasta and enjoy watching him explode. Can't blame them. he is hard to like and funny when he explodes for being penalised.

I love this. Brath at his best.

It’s definitely a conspiracy. Exhibit A is Nate Myles; he would continuously give penalties away when playing for the roosters. He would then play for QLD, do the exact same thing and it suddenly becomes ok with the refs.

 

[ANTiLAG]

It is origin. It is different.

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

The NRL obviously don't have a problem with him swearing. It hasn't been censored out of the replay in the NRL video section lol

 

[Billythekid]

I just found his comments about the obstruction hilarious. It couldn't have been any more blatant. What did he mean 'where is he supposed to go'? Usually you say that when a player runs a decoy. Pritchard basically just ran around the side and grabbed the player tackling Kasiano (obstructing 2 other defenders in the process).

The commentators saying it should have been a try are dumb as well. I hate the roosters and like the dogs but that call was an easy one to make.

I don't get the whole "where's he supposed to go?" argument either.

All the ref should have said was it doesn't matter why he ended up where he was, the fact is he was there, and he obstructed a player in being there.

An attacking player has no right to be obstructing defenders, regardless of the circumstance as to how they got there. If a player was knocked out lying in the defensive line and a defender tripped over them while running across field to make a tackle then thats still obstruction.

That was one of the most ridiculous passages of play I have seen. Anasta gets penalised for a tackle (nothing really in the tackle), gets belted, no action against Faalogo, goes down the other end, gets penalised for hitting Jeremy Smith across the chest, smith starts punching back, Anasta gets sin binned. Absolutely woeful refereeing.

 

[Crazy Steve]

And here I was thinking this post was in reference to his soccer like dive in the first half, that the stupid c**ks in the pink shirts fell for. I am all for players being being super competitive and having a strong desire to win, but when you resort to taking dives and other low acts to get a penalty that is crossing the line. Ennis is pure filth.

Fitzy got Faalogo binned but here is the follow up,

But it was hillarious to Anasta binned after being punched.

Hmmm when did Bwaith start for you guys?

I predict a dramatic change in your penalty situation come next year.

Tigtogs... youse garn git farked up.

Yeah just watched it again, forgot Faalogo got binned (should've been sent off though). Fitzy made the best point - So if i get a penalty i can belt the other guy and still get the penalty?

joke refereeing

 

[M2D2]

The referring was completely correct in that case. Idiots keep on bringing it up time and time again.
I truly think some of you dont know the f**king rules. :lol:

 

[Fire]

Forgot about that video.

Fitzy did good to keep his cool.

Best part is watching Braith. I could watch his sook/dummy spit/tantrum/princessing/drama queeness he did there for days on end.

:lol: that could be it actually


Unfortunately though the trend continues all the way back to at least, with 2004 as the only year that we actually had a good run with penalties (every other year we were in negative differential for penalties received compared to penalties conceded).

Straight up bullshit. Stats prove that Roosters do cop it worse than every other team.

Anasta's biggest issue is the sheer volume of whinging and complaining he does in every game. He's on Campese levels of whinging at refs.

Justified.
