Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Roosters

[Johnny Brass]

Fantastic win last night it was great to see Keary digging into the line at pace creating space for his outside men. The back 5 were really good against a pretty poor defensive backline for parra and both Butcher and Wong were very strong.
I thought May was good once again and Lindsay the standout in a non stop effort.
We need a few results to go our way but we've given ourselves a sliver of hope to make the finals.

Yeah their 2nd was BS... nothing we coulda done there.

They need to change the falcon rule. I remember our round 1 game vs the tigpies in 2018. The tigpies scored the winner at the death off a falcon.

That first try was a terrible call. Dies the bunker not realise the ball is round and the point touching the ground never made the line? Side angle showed the the ball appearing to be over the line thanks to the curvature of the ball but the point of contact with the ground wasn’t touching the line.

I have no problem with control and don’t think he lost it in the attempt to score but I believe it never touched the line.

What’s worse is they put it up as a no try…there wasn’t one angle shown which confirmed it to be a try, so they should have stuck with the on-field decision.

Watching the reply now. That's excatly what happened. Makes the Lindsay no try call against the sharks even more annoying now. Especially as we probably would've won that game if it was correctly awarded

Seems strange that they swap between the Bears and Roosters.

Players get promoted to the Bears when they are too good playing for the Roosters reserves

Better talent around them

Totally mate. Why have that system if they don’t use it? The ref should just stop play and say ‘I have no bloody idea’ and let the bunker call it.

Is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing? Not the first time this season..

If you watch the highlights on the NRL website it is blatantly obvious that he put the ball down short. You can freeze the replay with the ball on the ground and clear grass between the ball and the try line. He then promotes it by rolling it forward until it touches the line. No try, every day of the week.
