Now the roosters deserved to win yesterday, and there is no denying that. So all you can do is laugh....
But we have lost 10 of the last 11 games which Steve Clarke controlled involving us, and despite my VERY polite requests to Clarke as he left the field last week to retire, he turned up again yesterday. If you listened very very carefully through your sports ears, it became alot clearer as to what the boys are up against each time we have Clarke "controling" our games.....
Don't know what you heard, but this is what i heard Steve Clarke say yesterday during the game.....
“Lee Hopkins, Penalty is against you for lying unconscious in the middle of the ruck!”
“Dean Widders, when the dummy half wants to throw a 20 metre pass, you have to give the receiver a chance and are not allowed to run 10 metres and tackle him. Penalty is against you.”
“Don’t worry about dropping the ball Freddy. It’s your last game and channel nine won’t replay an error by you, so we will just say it was touched by Parra and give you guys the scrum. No one will ever know…”
“Wingy, when you are getting up from making a tackle, make sure you push them back down to the ground, you are letting them get up too quickly”
Touch judge to Clarke “Roosters backs are off side out here Clarkey” Clarke’s response “Be quiet, I am trying to start up a Freddy chant….”
“Fitzy, Middleton up in the commentary box says Hindmarsh is beating you in the tackle count, so can you start flopping in a bit so that we can fudge your tackle figures a bit more…”
(After the O’Dwyer try)"Tim (video ref Mander), unfortunately it looks like Parra have scored. Can you possibly find a way to disallow that try”
(To 4th official) “I just heard that some bloke has just walked into a boxing ring over in the U.S with a Parra jersey on. Can you ring my cousin Horatio Clarke who is judging the fight and make sure the bloke doesn’t win! That’ll teach him….”
(After calling out stand in captain Daniel Wagon) "Now Daniel I have called you out because I have just duded your team three times in the space of a minute on your own line to ensure you conceded a try, and I know you love to be a smart arse to referee’s, so why don’t you give me some lip so I can sin bin you”
