Rd9: Parra v Roosters GAME DAY THREAD @ BankWest Stadium 7/5/2021

[Gazzamatta]

So Moses says when asked had the team planned an alternate when Rheed went down, "No we've never planned for that". Same question asked of BA his reply " No we've never planned for that". "Maybe we should".
Really?
Probably the most important position on the field and we don't even consider a what if situation. Absurd.

“The incident with the bunker and referees is unacceptable” robinsons words in the presser. Let’s see if he cops a fine.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Nat Butcher, defending next to Sam Walker, made 67 tackles and missed another 6 attempts.

Just carrying on from the other thread: So after last night with Rheed coming off. Do you still think we should carry a winger on the bench rather than a utility/ or reserve hooker? Dunster made it on with 4 mins left in the game. Yesterday proved why having a winger on the bench is freakn useless.

 

[Parra]

He whinged about the way the bunker handled the hutchison thing .... and he is right

He didnt blame anyone else for losing. Said they lost cost didnt finish sets well

It was an unlucky outcome. Nothing malicious in it. Will be a travesty if this goes any further.

 

[The EELiminator]

Absolutely.

Add those two tries in, and we put 40 on them.

We didn't play too well, but we still won quite easily, which I find very pleasing.

Also, we haven't beaten the Roosters in years.

they said in commentary that moses has never beaten the roosters before

 

[Soren Lorenson]

They're a plucky band of rag tag internationals, origin players and superstar juniors, those Roosters. We did well. Happy weekend merkins.

 

[Delboy]

The Roosters took a leaf out of the Dragqueens playbook with the holding down to slow the play the ball, got,most 6

“The incident with the bunker and referees is unacceptable” robinsons words in the presser. Let’s see if he cops a fine.

What was nauseating was Paul Crawley's questions to Robinson, sounded as if he wanted to jump the table and give him a blow job. Such a biased knob, basically tried to lead Robbo into slamming Parra. I said it earlier, no matter what happened the media would be about the heroic Rorters.

The commentary from what I caught on tv replay when I got home, was exactly that too, one sided drivel.

I think Sam defends ok for a 14 year old

though he is obviously gonna need some help when a big merkin runs at him close to the line

Gotta hand it to the Roosters. They were the better team on the night.

No they weren't they were the better team at offside and slowing down the play the ball. But we were good enough to overcome their illegal tactics which the ref ignored to follow the edict by the NRL this week to be much more strict and sin bin teams for repeat offences.

If he had done that as the FOX commentary at one stage speculated, but never happened, we would have annihilated them. Instead, he allowed them to continue on and the Chooks kept coming. We didn't play at our best, but the Rorters were looked after by not sin binning them after the 4th or 5th six again. It really hampered our momentum. I wish BA would have a go at these tactics at the post match press conference and point out that the opposition team were given to much latitude with very little consequence.

Robinson can wax lyrical about the misfortunes that his team got for the two illegal shots we put on them, but BA doesn't say a word about how ordinary the game was officiated in the first place that allowed the Chooks to stay in the game. I would argue that if the Ref had sin binned 1 or 2 of their players, we would never of been in a position to have 2 players on report.

I hope in todays games the refs start policing this sneaky tactic and sin bin the offending teams. We are one of the cleanest teams around the ruck and in the offside. If the NRL police it properly, we will grow an extra leg as an attacking team. It will allow our big boppers to tear teams apart. This is why when we play teams like the Rorters and the Storm, they intensify their dirty ruck and offside tactics to stop us from winding up with speed and power.

We just need to make more public noise about this to put the refs on notice and so they know we will make trouble for them if they don't do the right thing by us. We need to scare the NRL into giving us a fairer go so to speak, but do it smart using the right language of course. Otherwise this will keep happening if they think that they can get away with duding us as opposed to the other team that has a loud mouth coach.


BA...Say something. Do something. Start yelling ffs please!

I’m sure BA would prefer to carry Lussick on the bench for when Fergo or Sivo are forced off

If the Rorters do another 11, maybe 12 infringements, Cecchin might have to call Tedesco out to warn him that he may need to bin someone if they do a further 6 or 7 infringements

Mahoney is maybe our best player and hardest to replace. It threw our whole structure off.
Sivos was a try. That was a very silly decision. And RCG should of stood. There was a half second where ball was close and no vision. How can we be sure it didn't touch at that point? Very very Silly.

On Fergo's no try, when you slow it right down the ball literally touches a couple of white blades of tryline grass even though the ball was short. Those blades of grass just happen to be growing slightly forward of the main white strip that is the tryline. You see it plain as day. Now I don't know if just touching any of the white painted blades of grass constitutes a try or not, but that is what happened. If that is all that is needed, then we was robbed I tell ya, we was robbed!

 

[TheRam]

He's a quality player.

It's so nice to have two backrowers like Cartwright, and Matterson, who have so much skill.

Matterson's kick was beautiful, and Cartwright terrorised the Roosters all night.

It's great to have a squad where players can do a job out of position.

I also thought Dylan Brown was pretty impressive at dummy half.

His passes were terrible from a dummy half's point of view. Thankfully he doesn't play there normally.

 

[TheRam]

Top quality post match from Trent Robinson

Strategic.

I have never heard such a bunch of bias commentators (Foxtel) in all my life.

We did win didn't we ?

And they (Fox) are following it up on their website.

And of course there has been no "trial by media" in an attempt to make sure Drown and Marata are labelled in a way to ensure suspension.

The punctured lung is going to cost Dylbags an extra week I reckon.

They always come down hard if it causes a serious injury.
