I remember him practising before the match against the knights and saw one of his warm up kicks miss from next to the sticks. I think he then missed one in the match from in front?
I've erased alot of that game from memory, but I was referring to the time he was kicking at I think, Penrith? Him and Wesser were shanking every kick.

I remember a game at Penrith 2 years ago Preston Campbell missed 4 basic conversions. They were up 16-0 but it whould of been 24-0 and we should of been out of the game.
Chalky scored under the posts in the last 5 minutes - also the game Toots got sin binned in the first 2 minutes, when it should of been a Raiders penalty try (i think),

But i don't think Linc was kicking for us in this game.....

CORRECT CORRECT

I had Toots for 1st try scorer.............I was gonna throw the TV out, bash down the closed TAB doors for money back

I ran into Wesser many months later, and in a drunk state.....I let it be known to Wesser of this particular indescration, and its impact on my wallet n finances

He remembered it vividely aswell.........good bloke in all big Wess... apologised for it......i was just pissed taking the piss.......and he got all honost and forgiving.

We won that game from a big deficit, and even Toots scored again with minutes remaining which got denied aswell....didnt even go upstairs, when that is the trend 100% of the time the raiders arent playing.

big jason williams would be my first preference for the number 1 goal kicking job.....ohh he has to make FG first however.

From a dragons fans point of view Dobson will become first choice but at the start I think they'll rotate.

Incorrect... it wasn't Toots sin-binned, it was the Penrith player, and that player was Howland, not Wesser.

Reese Wesser took out Croker when all Croker had to do was dive on it for a TRY

I wasnt talking about who got sin-binned

I am referring to Croker being takin out by Wesser.

Whoever got sin-binned i have no idea now - that wasnt the issue with me....the fact my Croker 1st try ticket was >< this close to cashing in, and then it was as good a dunny paper in the blink of an eye....all thanks to Wesser

If Howland got sin-binned - I believe you

who knows

as i said i was mega drunk at the time i saw wess

he may have been taking one for the team

but i did see Wess and told him all about it....as you do when ur pissed in kings cross and see a player that screwed you on footy tab...all in good fun though.....:D

That Merrit bloke from Souths owes me a few last try scoring tix....he robbed me on about 5-6 occasions...............the day i see him - if i know what he looks like.....will be another random public 'all in good fun' rant!!!

i too know the fun of a drunken footy rant with penrith players, had a good one with luke rooney about matt elliott... i apologised for him going to penrith and suggested he bulk up and move into the forwards, if he was keen to see any of the footy...

But the bloke who took Croker out WAS the bloke who got sin-binned... why would Howland have been sin-binned if Wesser took Croker out?

Poor old Toots was robbed twice in that game, the first incident you mentioned, and then in the second half when dropkick Robinson called him "held up" despite the fact that he obviously scored and a look at the video would have confirmed it.

Well i thought it was Wesser from memory........and i took it out on Wesser (all in good fun), and he apologised, we had a beer over it, in which would have even cemented his role in the incident as far as my drunk brain is concerned.

People have been incorrectly sin-binned with player confusion - granted Wesser looks nothing like Howland - also i am NOT trying to validate my thoughts by saying ref confusion occured.....confusion appears on my part at this time.

Yeah Toots did get robbed again late in the match (i mentioned that too)....just glad we won in the end cause if Sticky Ricky can whinge about lil things, imagine if the roosters copped poor decisions like we did in this Rith match....there would have been a whole liftout in the Telegraph, and a story on ACA, The Ref Reports would have been implemented earlier, and even an apology from Finch and Gallop via satellite breaking news bulletin into 15 million households australia wide....FARKIN ROOSTERS!!!:x

Toots' 2nd "try" was right in front of where all of the Raiders fans were gathered that night... clear as day, he nearly buried the ball under the Penrith Stadium turf. How it was called 'held up' straight away is beyond me...
