Typical Roosters fan. Always emphasise the penalty count.
That's what makes what I say more meaningful, why the f**k would I want to defend the refs?

Melbourne won the match because they took advantage of their opportunities more consistently than the Knights did.

Which is to miss the point by 100 miles or so. The point being made was that Cronk should have been binned, like he was for Queensland 12 months ago.

I got the point, the refs made a judgement and decided it wasn't bad enough to warrant a sin binning, he freaking referred it to the vid ref for the possibility of awarding a penalty try, it was pretty obvious they weren't looking to let the Storm off the hook.

Well that's ok then. The refs are off the hook because they referred it upstairs and still got it wrong.

I'm saying this idea that the refs favour Melbourne is incorrect. I think Cronk should have got binned, but just because the refs didn't agree doesn't mean they were trying to protect Cronk.

Lol Melbourne are on the wrong end of a 10-4 penalty count

It was completely deserved though. That's the most disciplined I've seen the Knights play in forever. Pity they didn't have the brains to make use of it.

Re Cronk, im assuming they decided it wasnt a clear try-scoring situation, something like that.

Should've been binned IMO, but frankly professional fouls against a player as professionally fouls as Boyd shouldnt count

Gotta go to a farewell dinner tonight, but guts are churning with this damned anxiety. Le sigh.
