Match thread; RND 12 Roosters v Raiders

[Bansai Pipeline]

I was hoping we'd put them to the sword. I was hoping we'd be brutal and shut them out. I was hoping we'd complete. Grind the game out.

Instead we gave away penalties and dropped a load of balls on our right edge.


Very frustrating to watch. That second half was up there with the Tigers game. Boring as.

Same but I dont know instead of playing with a plan they were trying to score a try off every play. ironically the SOO players were our best and Maloney

we are just not plying for 80 mins and at times the attack goes sideways. Not sure what the answers are

[Cockadoodledoo]

Canberra ruined any chance of momentum in the second half by lying all over us in the ruck.

[Funky Chicken]

How was Sam Moa not awarded his try??? Can't believe more people aren't blowing up about it as it look like a 100% legit try.

Imagine if that happened in a finals game and cost us the match?? These refs are just pure incompetent, or in the case of Cummins and Klein........just say Tony Archer!!!

50/20s are the answer.

Jennings played Origin a few days before.
Should he have played at all against the Raiders.

We scored some good tries.

No chance of beating the Storm though, losing the ball all the time.

Ricky Stuart at half-time:

"We've got to stop their quick play-the-balls. If we don't, they'll put 50 on us for sure. Do whatever it takes - don't worry, the refs won't penalise you."

One of the refs called it as a forward pass from Pearce and have to admit from where I was sitting it looked like a forward pass but after watching it just a few minutes ago on the NRL site from the head on shot it looks like the pass from Pearce went backwards, funny though, the comentators during that passage play never mentioned about the forward pass ruling, they seemed to think the try was disallowed because the ref thought the Moa had dropped the ball.

Exactly! That, along with the total f***ing 'bull$hit' no try to Moa changing the momentum of the game, bull$hit penalties given to the raiders (especially the one where that little ugly ginger piece of shit mccrone deliberately threw the ball into a Roosters player on the ground directly behind him, which made me want to put my fist straight through his skull !!) along with SKD being a useless c***, prevented us from putting the raiders to the sword!!

I'm sensing you're angry about certain aspects of last nights game, Oracle.

Hey Oracle...did you ever watch the Young Ones particularly Vyvyan played by Ade Edmondson?

He used to get very angry too.

I tell you what in the game of footy between the under 10's or under 11's that was played at 1/2 time there were some good little players, 1 team wore green & white I think they were Bondi United while the other team wore the Roosters home strip, I don't know who they were but they had 3 little guys who could play. The number 9 who played FB in defence & 1st or 2nd receiver in attack was unreal & the other 2 which were the number 7 & number 1 were also really good. They entertained me at 1/2 time.

Yeah I did catch a bit of them Jack, Vyvyan was a funny bastard and I loved his haircut!

I enjoyed the first half last night, while the second half was frigging frustrating! I felt flat after the win. I was happy that we at least got the all important 2 points.
