Roosters vs Knights match discussion

[Spirit of 66]

Can't get a call, commentators are shit, errors galore... What a frustrating game.

Not many errors from the players.

So, the onfield ref calls check the grounding on the first try, the vidiot makes a call on the knock back??????????

I hate how commentators talk up teams losing to Chooks. Knights haven't looked like scoring a point and we've had 2 tries disallowed

Amazing how they have stars in their eyes for such mediocrity.
Thank goodness I bought chocolate on the way home so I'll have something to stuff in my mouth in the second half so the neighbours won't hear me..I normally am pretty mild during games but this is just plain irritating..

Standing ovation from the callers box. lol
You would think the Knights wee 30-0 up the way these pilchards are carrying on.

If Pearce doesn't sort out his kicking game we're going to blow this. For sure.

Applauding a team that cannot manage to score a single point is the height of embarrasment

Do we practice attack? There is nothing that resembles any kind of set plays or tactics. Give to the forwards and see if they can plough them. I think he refs call "held" too soon which can set us up to give away a penalty. The tackle is still in progress and by calling held we are in the process of falling, etc so it adds to the time that we get of the attacking player.

Having said that in many instances we hold down for too long. Friend and JWH need to get off quicker.

On field ref say try. All commentators say try. But the criminals that count get it wrong

The operative word in bold there...

Or if you prefer, crooks, corrupt to boot...!

"Loose carry".....great and all but the ball clearly goes backward through his legs, so even if it was a loose carry (it was clearly dislodged) it did not go forward.

An outrageous and blatant overrule to keep the match close, simply cheating.

If Easts don't start going back through the middle we could blow this..

why didn't Freddy ask Robbo about the decisions and standard of refs?

[Guest]

My point was that if the ref doesn't ask for them to check the carry, they can't. He seemed happy with that but wanted to check the grounding.

BTW I'm not buying Warren's book. After tonight, he and his team can $%^& off!
