Sums it up perfectly

There is a massive sigh of relief at NRL HQ that the scores were not closer. The blow is used as justification for the notion that the "better side won".

Fact is each of the merges tries are clouded by fark ups by the officials. I was listening to Brandy on the way home last night and he said as much - he said that he is calling as he see it. Glad to hear it from an impartial commentator

Brandy is the best commentator by far..

Brandy is the best commentator by far..

that he is

loved his comments on Maubs during one game

"He's got a good swerve. You don't see players like that much anymore, bit Mitch Aubusson has got a really good swerve"

It probably will not change a thing we will still get canned by the refereeing fraternity

Where is Fulton's cement truck when you need it?

I will always hold a special hatred for Archer for robbing us of a fair playing field for a game we had a huge shot at taking out.

The beauty of this stitch up, unlike 1972 when you can squarely point the finger at Keith Page, in 2010 you can look at a shared carve up from the main ref, the touchie and the video ref...... all neatly glossed over by about 90% of the media !

Correct weight... Looking at the difference at the scoreboard at the end of the game is missing the point. We were forced to play catch up football in the pouring rain which lead to mistakes and points to the Dragons... Once the lead become sizeable our boys dropped their heads leading to more cheap points..

The game had its own agenda from the start. That was evident from the Morris incident. We didnt let it go the way 'they' wanted it to in the first half. Thats why in the second half, the calls were just as blatant but more common. The outcome was decided even before kick off.

Touchies - plural.

The whole ****ing lot of them were in it.

Load of shit. The rot continiued long into the second half forcing the Roosters to play catch up footy which in wet conditions cost us.

Yes that's right, good description up until half time. An encouraging glimpse of reality nonetheless

The Wok saw what was going on and can at least make the point that there was a likely psychological impact in the 2nd half from those one sided stream of decisions.

Thanks for posting the link, I have now printed it and its on the wall in front of my desk.
