They were all very forgiving of Tino's shoulder charge though, which even though it was a textbook shoulder charge apparently in their eyes it wasn't even a shoulder charge.
Shoulder charge.
The double standards and hypocrisy is mind blowing.
But that is what you get when you have no one on the panel that will defend the Eels. Tallis is a Titans ambassador ffs!
Anyone with half a brain can see that RCG was just about to go down on his knees to make the tackle just as the ball carrier was also dropping suddenly, RCG wasn't expecting it or ready for it and probably due to fatigue and dumb mental clumsiness just kept going with his original thought without having the mental alertness to readjust and pull out. Not hard to figure out when you watch it objectively and unbiasedly. In my mind he does deserve to be suspended, but 2-3 weeks would have been a fairer penalty, because it was fatigue and clumsiness not malice as some are so eager to say.
To call it the crime of the century or premeditated is asinine and dumber the RCG's actions. At least RCG was fatigued when he transgressed. These tossers don't have any excuse? They are just plain stupid and there is no love lost for Parra either by them.
Not surprised really, considering we have a Potato Head and club for that matter that rarely ever goes on the front foot and defends any of the decisions that go against us as a club.
Uncle Nick on the other hand from what I understand is on the blower to all the journos as soon as there is any criticism directed toward anything Roosters. Like a blood hound he is, even when he is on holiday in Greece.
We should learn how to affect change and defend ourselves. We(Potato Head) should be ringing the refs office ever freakin week on Mondays with a list of please explains campaign. That is the only way you keep the refs on their toes and fearing us on the field and not wanting to make the wrong decision against us or there will be repercussions.
I mean if you aren't a hundred percent sure of a call on the field and it could go either way, in the back of a refs mind(they are only human) would you will probably subconsciously go in favour of the whinging wanker that is going to make your life miserable and you may even lose your NRL job the following week if it is wrong or would you make it in favour of the team/coach that never says peep to the powers that be? Hmmm....
I know how people and life really works, and therefore I know what the answer would mostly be.
What do you all think?
