Talk about piggybacks!
Talk about ill discipline.

Unusual for the Dogs? You have no idea..
Are you saying that the dogs regularly don't get penalties in the second half of games? I don't know the stats on that, but I strongly doubt it.
What were the penalties to the Dragons for and what what the penalty to the Roosters for?
Dragons won the penalty count 7-6
What a coincidence, Roosters penalties came when defend their line....
Every team gives away penalties inside their 20m to reset their line when a quick play the ball happens or a half break. Last night u guys didn't have JWH in your side to give penalties to the Dragons inside the Dragons half. Last night the Roosters gave away 3 Penalties away on half time when they were under the pump.I posted this in May. To dispel the same myth you are trying to perpetuate
While I'm at lets debunk the whole "Roosters give away penalties on purpose defending their own line, to reset their defence" myth.
69 penalties conceded in 10 games.
Only 24 penalties conceded in their own half (8 vs Cowboys)
11 penalties conceded inside their own 20 ( 4 vs Cowboys)
45 penalties conceded in the oppositions half
28 of these inside the oppositions 25 metres
41% of all Roosters penalties conceded are inside the oppositions 25m.
Only 1 2nd half penalty again for chooks last night.
That makes a total of 24 in 14 games this year, an avg 1.7 per game
10 games of 14 where we have received 2 or less 2nd half penalties.
So you're saying that the refs give the roosters all of their leg ups in the first half so they can get early momentum? Makes sense.
