Tupou had a try disallowed due to a Maloney forward pass. But the replay showed that his hands were facing backwards and momentum carried it forward. That's not a forward pass. Roosters wuz robbed.

dodgy strip call + horrendous forward pass leads to Cowboys try. Conspiracy!

Mini should have got a penalty for being tackled in the air. Maloney was tackled without the ball and got no penalty.

The SBW call was worse than the Lui knock on. You see both in NRL week to week. Bullshit, but a part of the game due to our f**king awful refs.

There's been more Roosters whinging so far, from a small minority of fans. Luckily most have been decent in victory after an objectively awesome game of footy.

As a non cows fan living in Townsville this game was never going to end well. I either get flooded with talk of them being robbed, or talk of them being the greatest.

They weren't robbed, the call was correct - it was a knock on. To say it cost them the game we would need to go and analyze every call made, and I am sure there were a few that went the cows way.

How about they don't concede 5 tries in the first 30 minutes? That may help.

Probably what cost them if anything was the fact SBW lost it over the stripe and instead of a turnover, Roosters get the one pointer. The blatant obstruction call before it was deadset sickening. The Lui knock on is pretty debatable. How often is it seen as a knock back? Just this one time.

Absolutely feel for them. JT and Lui put on a masterclass in the halves to get them level, shame 30 points was too much and it didn't help that two Roosters tries came off the back of pure luck and nothing more.

pretty sure cowboys had a two tries which came of the back of pure luck and nothing more. so that equals up just like the penalties just like football

LOL Hilarious thread.

You do realise the Cows got a similar strip call when they dropped it cold that led to a try

And they did take Mini out in the air and scored

Could be debated Lui knocked on for his try as it hit his arm and then rolled underneath him

Matt Scotts try wasnt checked when hint of double movement

SBW try ruling overturned with no clear evidence to do so ( I thought that was the rule??)

Cowboys lying all over the Roosters all night with no penalty

But hey there is a conspiracy and the Roosters are always favoured :)
This.

The thing that annoys me most is that both Us and the Cowboys got dudded an equal number of times (well us more times, but the timing of their shit calls were more crucial) yet the media and especially Joey f**king Johns only seem to remember what happened to the Cowboys. Sure they got some shit calls (last one was definitley a knock on though, there's not even any doubt) but so did we, two tries of there's came off shit calls which gave them that comeback.

I'm still not convinced Scott scored either, and with Sonny's no try, well that showed how flawed the current system is. That wasn't a try, but by the ref ruling a try on the field it should have been awarded, can't complain though, we got through.

Here is a shot of the superimposed frames of when the ball was first touched by Lui and when it first hit the ground .

A few things to note.
1. Ball touching Lui in the right side circle.
2. Ball touching ground left hand circle.
3. Yellow Line = parallel to 30m line (30m line not touched they are overplayed perfectly from both frames used).
4. Lui's body from the superimposed image has been removed in order to see the ball initially hit him.

50/50 call. Combined with the bullshit from the previously 10mins Cowboys have no luck against the refs.

It was the man behind the fence on the grassy knoll.
