we were still getting screwed over by refs 15yrs ago

[fletch]

just watching a replay of the 1996 return to monday night football match against the Broncos, which is currently on foxsports.

after having quite a few tries disallowed recently for forward passes that weren't, that Iro to Walker pass that was called back was criminal, just goes to show the officials haven't improved over the last 15yrs, they still can't tell the difference between a pass that is delivered backwards and floats forward with momentum.

in another observation, football was so much better to watch back then without all the wrestling crap, we had more backline shifts in one game back in 1996 than we have done all season this year.

Didnt we win the penalty county 8-0 with a penalty to win the game in the last minute when Alan Cann farked up???

We did win the penalty count 8-0 and it was Andrew Gee.

Oh so true Fletch .
The referee McBlane penalised the Broncs out of that game.
Jorgensen's try saving tackle from behind on Alfie with 10min to go was a gem.

League is in danger of becoming the new Union.

A snore fest full of discretionary penalties.

Your thoughts resonate with mine Pipe, you magnificent crack-dependent visionary.

What that game showed was how much we could do with players such as Lam, Walker, Sing and even Iro.

He was shit back then as well, forever called Jorganson Junee, and JImmy Smith had 3 first names.

We were a good side in those days, ahh the memories.

[DirtyHarry]

I've been following the Roosters since the 70's, the only time that I recall that we seemed to be on the right side of the penalty count was when bill Harrigan was helping out with the training - was that around 2002 or 2003?

And the referee on our side!
