Robert Finch - must resign

[Sportsjock]

Question for you sportsjock.

a) Do u agree with the decision.?
B) Do u think Robert Finch was correct in saying, it was ok.?
c) Do u think Greg Mcallum and Annesley former Referees are Wrong ?

A) I honestly have no real opinion, I've seen tries this year go both ways from very similar movements, so I am deadset guessing everytime it happens now because of the difference of refereeing. If it was given, Id have been sweet with it , and if it wasnt, I can accept that too.
B) I believe Robert Finch has every right to stand by the decision, yes.
C) Referees are wrong every single week. I sit there week after week shaking my head in disbelief of the decisions made by CURRENT referees, let alone past ones. It doesnt make the immune to being wrong mate :lol:



I think this is all overly dramatic.

And also, while I am at it, that stupid dancing man in your avatar has been pissing me off now for the last 8 weeks. :lol:

 

[Saint 60]

yup - i must admit Finch did also play for the dragons
his dad i mean...

but if Craig Young was sitting in the box..i suggest the Chooks would be screaming blue murder about this time

lol -

it does happen every week tho :roll: :evil:

and easts did beat the dragons of that there cannot b a doubt --- and Phil Gould is a horses Ptute of that there is no doubt rofl

there have always been bad decisions -- always thats league...the govt stuffed it when we could gamble on it legally :shock:

walks away ranting ----

 

[Rooster Cogburn.]

It's not the first time that Robert Finch has backed his refs and video refs regarding decisions that they have made and it won't be the last either. To suggest that Robert Finch favours the Roosters because of his son is ridiculous and for you to make that assumption shows how foolish you are being. Where was Robert Finch last year when Andrew Ryan scored for Canterbury against Easts when he was clearly offside? Every club gets bad decisions, It's the way it is. I'm sure that you believe that Ian Schubert is hiding information that shows the Roosters are cheating the cap and that David Gallop is secretly on the Roosters board of directors.

1) You have no opinion ? Whats the point of this site then ?
2) Refs will always make decision we dont agree with, what the hell has that got to do with this Topic.

People get caught up in their own worlds, they forget about the topic at hand, 90 % of the time.

Wake up and smell the topic dude.

re my nic, if it pisses you off, I have done something right.

The topic to me is you whinging about Robert Finch resigning - is that not the topic headline you idiot?! :lol:

The topic isnt Sportsjocks opinions on the decisions being made.
You asked me questions, A, B and C, off topic, to which I replied :lol:

I had no real opinion on the try, I do however, certainly have a strong opinion on idiots like you trying to throw together some conspiracy to remove Robert Finch from his role due to a conflict of interest with his son Brett.

As I said, thats the topic headline YOU wrote. So I dont think I am the one in need of waking up and smelling the topic.

 

[woodgers]

I am going to go with St Gill on this one. I have been calling for Robert Finch to resign all year so far and we are only 1/3 in. It has nothing to do with his son playing for the Roosters though. He isn't doing his job properly.

C) Referees are wrong every single week. I sit there week after week shaking my head in disbelief of the decisions made by CURRENT referees, let alone past ones. It doesnt make the immune to being wrong mate

Sportsjock, that is my point. Week after week we are not only seeing horrible decisions out in the middle but also but a bloke sitting in a box looking at a screen. Lyon and Hayne are so poor it is unbelievable. Simpkins and Clark, while having the odd decent game are pretty ordinary too if you compare them to Mander and Hampstead. However, even Hampstead and Mander are way behind in terms of controlling a game if you look at past refs like Harrigan, McCallum, even Annessley.

What happens in private enterprise if the employees are not performing and are making errors? More often than not, if it is not just one individual, the boss must take the rap and possibly cop the sack. His staff arn't performing underneath him so perhaps his standards are not high enough.

Instead of fixing grey areas in the rules, Finch spent the off season bringing in 2-3 new rules from memory - each more confusing than the last.

Once again, this is not a vendetta against the Finch family as some may suggest would come from a Raiders fan. I understand mistakes are made in referees however the boss should be making them as minimal as possible. I have not seen an improvement since Finch has been there, only a decline in standard, therefore I believe he should stand down.

 

[Sportsjock]

Robert Finch leaving because of poor performance in his job role is one thing.

Robert Finch leaving because some people think the poor performance is because he is biased towards the Roosters and his son Brett, is an entirely different thing altogether.

You obviously realize that Woodger, but some idiots here dont :lol:

The topic starter believes it is because of the father son relationship above all else - which is just plain ridiculous.

 

[rossy]

Wasn't Craig Young on the NRL judiciary? I thought he used to be... But if that was true, didn't Craig used to play with Finchy? And what with Greg McCallum, who would be his boss in that case being a guest of the Dragons and offering technical advice, then a substantial conspiracy theory could be built up around the Dragons, what with Geoff Carr getting thrown into the mix. But that would be totally ridiculous.

But why is the adviser to the NRL on the judiciary making comments like this when it's not his job? I suspect he might find it harder to get an extension on his contract the way he's going.

Last year Brett Finch scored a try that any person with 20/20 vision and half a brain could see was clearly not a try. This year gaz's try is dissalowed. Robert Finch is the father of Brett Finch who plays for the roosters..... :| :| :| :| Two ex-roosters players are salary cap auditors..... :| :| :| :|

 

[Raider_69]

st gilla, your a joke

 

[Foz]

Originally I was thinking along the lines of Gould (and his shepard line).
When I watched it again I was about 60-40 thinking the try was fair.
Benefit of the doubt I'd say try but it wasn't a clear cut thing either way IMO.

Damn that avatar looks sexy on you V. Mmm mmmm!

Chook.

 

[KFC]

Stgillaman, Finch was the Refs boss last year. And to suggest he favours the Roosters because his son plays there is lunacy. And speaking of lunacy what is your obsession with the Roosters?
90% of your posts mention the Roosters. Why don't you post about what a great game it was yesterday and how well your team played particularly without Barrett and Bailey.

Robert Finch played for Saints and worked for Canberra before he went to the Roosters. His affiliations with those two clubs out-weigh anything you might care to make up. Geoff Carr, chief executive of the ARL is a Saints boy. Who is the second salary cap officer? Ian Schubert played for Wests and Manly too. He was even nominated as a contender for the Magpies team of the Century!

Believing in conspiracy theories indicate poor mental health. Easts got the two points. Move on.

 

[Iafeta]

One thing that comes out of the game - well actually two things - the Chooks and the Dragons are both the real deal in '04, secondly, Phil Gould should not commentate Roosters games.

On the back of the "where did he touch it" fiasco in Newcastle with Todd Byrne, he backs it up with a biased commentary on the Gasnier no try. First off, live, I thought no try. When I saw the replay, Ryan Cross made a very, very, very poor defensive read and was fooled by a decoy. If he hadn't have come in, he would not have been impeded and had a free shot at Gasnier. Gould claims Cross should not have had to anticipate, Earth to Gould, the art of decoy is to create confusion, your own club uses it - that was a well placed decoy, and a bad read. Anticipation is the name of the game.

Great game - thoroughly enjoyed it. Did not enjoy Gould's commentary, he is now to the point that he should be barred from commentating Easts games.

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

I thought that gould was actually going a bit overboard with some of his comments towards both sides
A Fantastic game by both teams which both camps of supporters should be proud of.
But the fact remains that two games now REGARDLESS of the Roosters being part of them have been decided by wrong decisions.
Where is the coaching and leadership that Finch nust provide.
Standing by the ref is one thing but when they make an incorrect decision-ADMIT IT!-Thats all people want.
I think of bigger concern is Ryan Crosses defencive lapses for the last 2 weeks. :lol: :lol:
Finch -your boys have got it wrong for the last 2 weeks and forgot to turn Tig/Sth around for extra time-The pile is getting higher.

 

[Southernsaint]

Geoff Carr, chief executive of the ARL is a Saints boy.

With his actions at Saints in the mid 90's, Geoff Carr proved beyond a doubt that he doesn't have St George at heart.

Cheers,
Ben S.

 

[tommytomlin]

So Gasnier scores - so what? Who is to say that wouldn't have sparked the Roosters to score 2 more tries in response? If St George truly deserved to win, they would have won. Simple as that.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.

Robert Finch was sacked by the Raiders and was very, very bitter about the way it was done. Surprise - a couple of weeks later his son leaves the Raiders for another club, Finch saying he didn't want his son to play for a club where the fans booed his son, well that was the excuse given anyway.

Robert Finch hates the Raiders. Don't expect him to give us any favours.
