Robbo calls out Cummins and starts the PR war with the refs

[fletch]

good on Robbo for calling out the unacceptable behaviour of Cummins tonight, Robbo was composed and armed with instances where the refs were disagreeing with each other in terms of decisions, which were clearly picked up on the sports ears feed.

judging by the conviction in Robbo's statements he is not going to let this rest here, he will make sure a delegation goes into the NRL and demands answers, and you also get the feeling if things don't even out some he is ready to continue to fight the fight to try and get our club a fair go.

[Tommy Smith]

I love this man.

He was so composed and measured with his words.

Make no mistake about it people, the referees are deliberately reffing us out of games. 21-5 the past two weeks?

There can no longer be any question of the bias against us.

Some of the penalties we haven't been receiving have been a disgrace. Two weeks n a row Pearce has been taken late kicking and yet no penalty.

For such a high profile competition to have such blatant institutionalised cheating against one team is inexcusable. And it's time to take this as far as we can.

[Tommy Smith]

Oh and 48 tackles in our 20 for one try conceded.

Amazing defence.

Unbelievable guts from our boys.

[sydroosters]

if he gets a fine for what he said, if there is a way, I will donate money towards the fine, robbo doesn't deserve a fine,

[elo]

Robbo will be writing a letter to the NRL as well.

Enough is enough.

[Andrew Walker]

Good luck Trent

[Kramer]

At last someone in an official capacity at our club makes a statement about the continual shafting.
Hoo bloody ray. Go Trent you good thing, one of the most honourable men in the game.

Well sent Trent. I actually hope he gets fined 10K as this will give us more publicity.
The penalties against most were fair BUT we should have received at least another 5 penalties and in the modern game you need penalties to build momentum

This is why they wont. The NRL will want this buried as quickly as possible.

Loved how Trent gave it to Cummins.

Count me in for a $50.

2 penalties in the last 120 minutes of footy in a game that's giving away more penalties per game than it has in the last two decades.

Amazing really, this perception that's been pushed in the media that we intentionally lose penalty counts because we back our defence has clearly imo made it's way into the referees pre-convinced perceptions of us.

Robbo has every right to get our clubs voice across in all of this, well done!

Could always contact The Crime Commission.

Any point going to the NRL?
The new NRL Commission seems like a big waste of time...nothing's changed.

Or it could be something else.

Amen.

Amen...1000 times over.

And about time too!

LET THE WAR BEGIN!



My first action of protest was to switch off the 2GB call...seemed to be cheering for Manly and hating the Roosters.

Well said Tommy and well said coach Trent. Are there still people on this forum who are of the opinion that there's nothing going on here? And if Trent gets fined, I'll be contacting the club to offer a donation.
