The only lucky call we got all night was them completely missing Drown's knees and he should have been binned.
Other than that, the ref ignored every dirty tactic from the Roosters, Manu was off side pretty much the entire first half. Their hands were on the ball in every tackle well after held being called and they never get penalised.
The RCG no try is confusing to me, the person with the best view on the park went up as try, he was literally standing in the perfect position to get the most accurate ruling and he said try. So then when the ball disappears from view, just because there were hands in front of the camera view, doesn't mean that the ball didn't for even a millisecond touch the grass, so how can they overturn it? I would have been happy either way if he said no try and it was no try as there was no conclusive evidence to overturn.
The Papali'i obstruction was weird to me but i guess common sense will never prevail with obstructions.
The NRL f**ked up on 2 fronts last night, after coming out and saying they were going to make sure they penalise consistent infringements and then the Roosters committing consistent infringements and getting warned continuously, they failed to act on their promise and they made a song and dance about player welfare and completely missed Drown's knees into Hutchison.........amateur hour!
As someone mentioned, Reed doesn't get injured if they call the forward pass to Tedesco in the in goal we get a drop out, instead we lose Reed for an unknown amount of time.
My last gripe is with other fans whinging about Gutho talking to the ref too much, Tedesco did not stay away from the ref last night, he sooked the entire game, every chance he got he was whinging to the ref right from the outset.....FMD!
Anyways, i don't think we were as bad as made out, even with the Roosters injuries they have a quality forward pack, great defensive structures in place so it should be hard to score against them. We just ground our way the entire game and prevailed. We should have won by more but we had 2 disallowed tries and Fergo was a bees dick away from scoring as well.
