Furner blames refs for loss in press conference

[Guest]

Their fans are just as delusional as their coach!!

From LU

Why can't we score points? And why are there no decent referees? A proper referee would have found 30 penalties against the Roosters. Their discipline was disgusting, falling asleep in every tackle, and an absolute f**king thug in Hargreaves allowed to drop forearms into the head with impunity. The refs even warned him quite a few times but didn't f**king penalize the merkin.

Don't even get me started in the Friend "try" from a blatant Symonds knock-on, or how Kenny-Dowall was able to magically knock a ball backwards that rolled under his body forward.

Oh and the Thompson try was fine, Vidot made contact while the ball was in the hands of the Roosters player, so not a knock-on.

How the f**k did the Roosters not concede a single penalty in the second half? We should have had 10 in the last 20 minutes at least. The refs let them play like thugs and hold down all game, and they got the win as a result.

lol..and I thought we were dudded again by CUMmins.

Simple facts:
We played in Canberra
We spent the majority of the game in our own half
We didn't get a penalty until the 62nd minute?
We had back to back sets against us
We didn't sustain any injuries besides Phil Graham, and he played

= we're a ****en good chance against souths next week

Understatement of the decade.

If we sign Dugan, I can't wait to see the douche bags on LU and the greenhouse explode It'll almost be as hilarious as the reaction on rawk, a liverpool fc forum, when Michael Owen signed with Manchester United.

I've never had anything against Canberra fans (unlike my dislike for anything red & green) but geez they've picked up a reputation this year. Starting with the Idiot Army that turned up at the SFS in Round 6.

Welcome Josh!

We had ample opportunity to put you guys to the sword (with all the tackles in your 20) and our ineptitude was what cost us, you took your opportunities when they came up in that second half and deserved the win, it's pretty simple, unfortunately it's not in furner's mindset to blame the team for it.


Well done roosters.

Raiders had ALL the opportunities. I reckon Furner is gonna put his players up in a line tomorrow and belt them.

I have to say though, Josh Miller every week puts his body right out there. He is one tough mofo!!!

[Guest]

If anything the Redfs ****en done us over.
Bull shit penalty count, there was no way raiders played a perfect game that first half.
That first try should have never been awarded.!

[Headless Chook]

To be fair to Raiders fans, I just went over to The Greenhouse and read their post game thread. Most of them were amazed at Furner's comments regarding the referees. They have greater concerns with the form of Campese and their impotent attack then they have with anything the refs did yesterday.

[BUDDY]

Furner sounds like a nervous coach looking over his shoulder.
If he blames the team and their lack of attacking ability then he has to take as much blame. Blaming the refs is the easiest way out.

Raiders fans sound no different to everyone on here after a loss, hell even after a win
Never the players fault always the refs
