RIP NRL

[Mr Spock!]

Fmd alien now has Rooster alts.

 

[Mr Spock!]

You mean we’re just like other fans?

Fans like alien and Bunniesman.... If my team won like that I'd be embarrassed and counting my lucky stars at getting the benefit of some shitty incidents and still acknowledge that the game was f***ed.

 

[Tommy Smith]

NRL is already speaking about changing the rules

They absolutely should be changed as it's a ridiculous rule.

But the decision at the time was officiated in accordance with the current rules. So why the controversy?

Besides it was a stone cold penalty for taking out Keary's legs anyway.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol, @Tommy Smith, if it was the other way he would be in the foetal position crying about a conspiracy against the roosters.

Most likely.

But with opposition fans now doing their best Tommy Smith impression en masse I'm enjoying the hypocrisy of being called out for my whinging

Lol why the controversy????

Because it took an incident in a GF which changed the flow of the game to show what a shitty rule it was.

And no it wasn't a penalty. Not even 50/50.

It is interesting seeing easts fans cry about their grand final win while also saying the rules were f###ed.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Poor Raiders defence led to 2 Easts tries.

They presented no evidence all game that they would have done anything useful even if they knew it was 5th tackle. Not with those shitty halves (even if one of them was given a pity medal)

LOL... Yeah Easts didn't look like scoring either until being gifted their 2 tries.

Didn't watch the game mate?

It was a penalty every day of the week, just as James Graham was penalised for the same thing against Souths a few years back on an Easter Monday, unless you are going to claim that you were unfairly awarded the match winning penalty on that day.

What happened to Sam Burgess suing people about the FaceTime chat saga? You were telling everyone it was about to happen. Still waiting.

I'm still waiting for you to explain what the f**k you are on about here.

I don't recall saying any such thing.

I think you’ll find that most Roosters supporters have commiserated with Raiders fans. We’ve also acknowledged the ref blunders that hurt the Raiders. It’s a shitty way to win. Now for balance, and here’s the bit that seems to confuse you. We ask you and the other so-called neutrals who are (we know) really motivated by their hatred of Easts more than anything, to park their faux outrage for a moment - just a moment and acknowledge that there were blunders that equally hurt us. Not gonna happen I know cos you’re too invested in your hate for the best team and best run club in the competition.

What, the one where Graham takes out Reynolds below the knee of his planted leg?

Apologies, I have no reason to disbelieve you, in fact I think it was someone on the Roosters website that went by the name Jonnysekret. Tommy Smith would be aware of that nut job.

I remember there was a nut job on the Chook Pen who said he had inside information from the NRL that Burgess would be stood down within 24-48 hours of his post. Maybe it was the same guy.

Burgess did get his lawyer involved, and I do believe that take down notices were issued to places like the Daily Telegraph, Reddit, etc., but I have no knowledge of any promises of people being sued.

Raiders lose to the best team by miles and now the NRL is dead? Grow up, there are stiff calls in every game.

So you're embarrassed about season 2014 which has been universally acknowledged as a Souths charity Premiership?

 

[Valheru]

Nope. It wasn't a tackle for starters. It was a charge down.

Maybe one ref should've blown a penalty while the other bloke yelled play on.

Your opinion is wrong, clear penalty

And they did exactly what you suggest leading up to the 6 again non incident. Whitehead dropped the ball and Sutton correctly called lost and Cummins incorrectly changed the call to a penalty for a strip.

How do you feel about that decision?

 

[Valheru]

Delusional roosters fans trying to justify their going b2b is better than the actual gf game.

Raiders were all over your lot, then the game turned on the 6 again call.

Excuses like Canberra didn’t look like scoring etc. are complete nonsense. Roosters didn’t look like scoring either after their first try. Canberra were in the same situation, scored an easy try and struggling to score another, but looking way more likely and would’ve been in a great position to break the deadlock if not for the 6 again f**kup.

But keep telling yourselves it was a deserved win, it’s rather humorous.

But we did score again, a long range effort.

The raiders could have stopped it but didn't. We stopped everything they threw at us apart from the line try.

The last tackle call was correct. Even if they got another lock in we diffuse it like all others and still score.

You know it, I know it, they know it.

 

[bileduct]

Your opinion is wrong, clear penalty

Well it clearly wasn't because no penalty was given despite the referee standing two meters away.

That was a correct decision changed to an incorrect decision. All good apparently.

But those incorrect decisions changed to correct decisions. Now that's egregious.

The decision, wrong or right, shouldn't be changed though.
