Not sold on the Roosters yet...

[BranVan3000]

I won't hold that loss against the Roosters. The refereeing was appalling, and playing in that swamp with booing fans and a lopsided penalty count is not easy. Souths lost a very similar game

 

[Jason Maher]

At least Loudy doesn't need several accounts to talk to himself and make himself feel special.

@Bran: how is 11-10 lop-sided? You really should stop owning yourself so much.

 

[GONZO72]

That makes it 21/24 lost penalty counts in 2013. There is no denying that there is a massive problem with discipline with the roosters. Some of the penalties they conceded again were ridiculous. Four unanswered tries in the second half, is still not enough when you keep gifting a team field position and two points.

Won't win it.

This.

Penalty count wasn't lopsided.

But the no try call and the Guerra "strip" which led to the Sharks 3 try run were horrible game defining calls.

Souths bad loss was vs the Cowboys. This was ours.

Arrogance

pure & simple

I guess it was more the nature of the penalties. Late in the count, changing decisions because a booing crowd

 

[Tommy Smith]

No arrogance. Just bad refereeing.

Whenever we lose the ball its always a knock on.

Whenever the opposition drop the ball the ref just blows for a strip, everytime.

The one against Guerra tonight is a classic example. The Sharks blatantly dropped it. The referee agreed. Then about 3 seconds later someone got in his ear and said it was stripped.

Another phantom strip.

Comical stuff.

Exactly. For once I don't hate a Souths supporter, lol.

When was the last time a video ref looked 3 times at a tackle, which looked illegal and didnt award a penalty ? RTS finished on his head. Had that been a Sharks player, it's on report

 

[Loudstrat]

The no try for the obstruction call was fair.

What killed the Chooks in the end was lack of leadership. The Cronulla niggle, with Gallan at the top of his grub game, got to them. Thats why the LOL of the night came when the ref ruled a Sharks knock on, but went upstairs to check the tackle on (from memory big Isaac) and rather than award a penalty, he actually cancelled the knock on call and ruled a Sharks feed! Mythcell Pearce lost it. 3 Penalties later and he's still whinging.

Lack of leadership in heated moments will deny them a premiership this year.

How is that a lack of leadership? You're an absolute nutcase :lol:

He landed on his shoulder you goose.

Going apesh*t at a referee for a decision made 6 months ago, when your side is about to lose the plot? Pure genius, wasnt it?

You f*cking idiot! :lol:

 

[GONZO72]

The roosters cannot win the premiership if they give away 8-12 penalties a game. Playing at Allianz won't make a difference. They have won one count there, this year .

Sharks were the better side, more physical, and battered the roosters forwards.

Roll on to round 26, where a crowd of 50,000 will be cheering on the bunnies.

There seems to be a common theme forming whenever the Roosters lose a game, it's either the refs cost them the win or they had players out, or both. How about you just weren't good enough on the night?

To be fair, they're the same complaints when we win

 

[nrlnrl]

The Sharks were primed for that game, the Roosters were vulnerable but can use that loss to patch up a few faults before the finals. They need to ensure they do that & learn from their mistakes rather than coming up with excuses for the loss.

 

[Tommy Smith]

lol well pointed out Babyface.

Ive never whinged so much like I have the past 8 weeks.

You f*cking idiot! :lol:

And Paul Gallen exhibits leadership by whinging about headbutts from Origin series 2 years prior??
