Our Ruck!!!

[Guest]

I will watch the replay of the game tomorrow but live the titans looked to be all over us and the refs did sweet **** all.... not impressed... then when we were on them they told us to get off.... and both occurrences seemed to be more blatant than usual.... did anyone else catch this?

when we win the GF i hope the boys all turn around and give every reporter and official a well deserved spray.... or at least a smile that says.... take that c**t you tried to cheat us all season and we still won!!

ROOOOOOOSTERS!!!!

thats the way i saw it and i dont think this is my bias talking. very frustrating, an additional few seconds given to titans evry tackle.

[Guest]

not only that but obviously holding the ball in standing tackles also... wtf?

[Guest]

yeah and a couple of blatent second efforts i could spot all the way from the most shithouse seats in the stadium (right in the corner) and no penalty. same on the replay ... including a flop too.

Only one side was being policed in the ruck. No prizes for guessing which and all I can say is that I hope it doesn't happen in the GF. Once again the penalty count was lost (6 - 5), and amazingly, the titans were perfection in the ruck.

Go Anasta for arguing with the ref on several occasions!

I wasn't complaining when they called the "strip" on Ryles at the start of the game.

Only another 100 calls to go to even it up.

One of them was a joke. Ref calls held and they strip the ball. Then they get to feed the scrum!

It has stopped mattering. We have been cheated for years, but they are too good, too tough. We will win

Oh those bloody Titans kept milking it!!!
They kept locking us up by placing the ball on our boys then pointing and saying "oi he didn't roll away!!!!" Then I'd see the Titans purposely keeping arms around our necks after tackles + slowing thing down, but we got no penalties from this.

The biggest positive from last night is that the refs ****ed us and we still schooled the Titans.

My only fear is that next week St Choke will have firmer hands. Our first 2 tries were made possible due to the Titans inability to catch the ball. Also Carney nailed 6/6 conversions (most were from the touch line) but can somebody teach him how to do drop goals? I fear that St Choke will be closer to us on the board and we will need to make sure of those drop goals in order to nail the game!

Bring on St Choke!!! It isn't Smithy who chokes, it's the cheats from down south... Cronulla, St Choke, Souffs... seriously how many South Sydney teams are there? They should all merge into 1 big anal frenzy...

And to all the St Choke "fans" who only support them coz they are winning, and keep heckling me - **** you! This is why I support a team, rather than chopping and changing based on form.

ROOOSTEEEEEEERS!!!!!!!

I stopped counting the number of times Nathan Friend would be involved in a tackle, the Rooster would go to ground and Friend would migrate up from the legs/waist to lock up the ball. No question of stopping the offload, just wrestlemania.

Tackle effected, player grounded, let him go when told to do so. Anything afterward is wrestling, time-wasting and not part of the effected tackle.
