Roosters vs Sharks Match Thread

[roostersrule2]

Three defining refereeing incidents tonight:

1) The "Guerra strip" A crucial call, which they pulled out of thin air, that started the Sharks quick 3 try run.

2) The no try call. An absolute shocker. Tupou wasn't a decoy runner, he was part of the play. Just an appalling decision that had it gone our way, we would have won the match IMO. Would have been 8 down with 20 to go.

3) The video ref intervening with the RTS head slam. Instead of giving us a penalty, he changed the decision and gave the Sharks the feed. Someone should be stood down over this. I thought video refs were no longer allowed to change knock on calls. Its only happened twice all season - us against Warriors and us against Sharks.

Three critical calls.

And yet still 5 try to 4 despite that first half.

We're twice the side the Sharks are. We'll be fine.

Stupidest thing I ever seen on a footy field.

Apart from that wanker who plays for the sharks and NSW, his name is not a name it's a measurement.

Heighington had to be offside when he stripped it of SKD

Not to mention his chicken wing on Jennings the tackle earlier.

The NRL sites crashed that's rare.

Was probably just me, anyway it's back.

Watching replay now. As should our boys. This game could win us the comp.

I got there 15mins in to the first half. Could someone tell me if any of our players were put on report?

The closest that anyone came was the JWH "late" shot that you would have seen later on.

He also did a chicken wing tackle in the previous tackle and ofcourse missed by the ref

Chin up guys! We need a few tough games (win or lose) to get us battle hardened for the finals.

I wouldn't have expected any less from our boys in the second half to be honest.

But one thing I have always thought! Anything we achieve this season is a bonus IMO.

Not many teams are going to live with a fully fit Roosters side in 2014! Make no mistake about that!

It doesnt matter if we finish first or second.Last twenty years I think only 2 minor premiers have won the comp.
