Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Eels

[MCMLXVI]

I think that Lane just slipped into JWH, but the ruling is ridiculous and only encourages others to 'slip' into shoulders for penalties. The NRL couldn't officiate itself out of a wet paper bag.

Knocked back my arse

[weplayforprems]

High tackle on a guy literally sitting on his arse

[ism22]

Hahaha... the commentators said pennis... eenie.

[gragra]

I thought the last pass to Moses was forward for the try...

[Seventy Five]

3 metres offside at least

He has allowed them to be off side all night. Its not even close to being marginal.

[bondi.boy]

Standard operating handling errors.

As per usual.

Yes, every game's the same...play well for ten minutes, then all the dumb errors start.
JWH never learns anything.

Oh well, maybe next season will be different.

Fukn joke binning. What's worse was that Parra basically stopped the game even though the ref said to tap the ball. They just stood there. What a low level team playing for penalties. I bet their fans would be proud.

It was. We however, bombed two tries with some selfish play, and a braindead play while they were a man down. We should be 5 tries up.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Similar first half to the cows game. Hopefully they don't come out with a similar 2nd half performance.

He is not getting them to clear the ruck so our dummy half has to manoeuvre their way round them and by the time they do that the defence is up.

If they hover in the play the ball, call 6 again or a penalty ffs. Simple.

[Nigel Gaffey]

A great half ruined by Mr liability. His Il discipline is out of control now

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Very good half of footy from the boys. Set up the platform with Lindsay, Spence and Whyte dominating the middle. Kez been great except for overead of the RCG bust.

Just need to stop the offloads and play fast but not frantic. Tries will come.

Also need officials to ignore the crowd and home team staff and just adjudicate the game. Butler good so far, but Badge caved with dud call on Jared.

Great test for us to bring it home in the 2nd half. Looking good.

That sin bin was a joke. Vadger hates us!

Why say 'on report' in addition to it? Superfluous statement IMO as it's gonna be reviewed regardless. Putting something on report is just an admission that you have NFI so are asking for it to be dealt with later.
