Buzz you legend: Roosters getting cheated

[The Axe]

Anyone able to tell us if gibbsy is talking roosters. I shared our stats with him

[mashl87]

Huh? How do you come to that conclusion?

You realise there's more to support than attending games. The Roosters have a huge fanbase, but it is scattered all over the state.

and interstate!

On the RLWeek Facebook page they have a small youtube video up about the penalty rort as well

and interstate!

We had the 4th highest average home crowd for 2013 and came in at 9th for 2014.

Most of our 2014 home games were effected by heavy rain and the Anzac Day gate went to the Dragons.

We should fall somewhere in between those figures this year.

If we do magically get more penalties it will prove once and for all the refs are corrupt. It won't happen.

We might get a favour or two in a month or two, but if anything they will come down harder on us against the Dragons to prove they don't listen to media.

Chook.

Time to stop pussyfooting around, and take legal action against the NRL, its officials, and the ARL Commission.

Freddie actually metioned the Roosters/penalty thing on the Sunday Footy show ...he was ridiculed by Sterlo and Johns.
As mentioned already, becasue we are not a liked team, it will be hard to get any smypathy from other followers and the League public in general, but at least it is now being put out there !
..Imagine the piublic outcry if it were the Vermin on the receiving end of these stats ?

Yeah he's bought this up a few times on the Footy Show and been ridiculed by those 2 muppets. Funny thing that when pressed they had nothing to counter his claims.

I refuse to pay Rothwitt.

Why wasn't this raised years ago, before NewsRL ran from the game???

it is blatant that he is using us to continue to stick it to Smiff and the IC.

Good that its out there finally, but I credit that crazy farker who writes for the Wentworth Courier.

And you nutters who have been banging on about this for years, compiling the stats etc.

Well done.

Why are people quick to stick the boot into the current administration???

The stats show its been going on for more than 10 seasons. If we are being honest its been a problem since the stance we took over SL.

News LTD created the problem. They created the reffs using coaches and tip sheets etc.

Its convienient now for Rothwitt to criticise the current IC, hes been at it since day 1 that they took control of the game.

But if he really was a man of integrity hed question NewsRL.

Yes its been going on for years blah blah bla, but who cares why he did it or his agenda, it's well and truely out there now. Would you prefer he said nothing? What stupid arguement you put forward.

Just realised that souths received 219 penalties last year and the next was 178. Geez they really were handed it on a platter

Souffs 219
Roosters 135

28 games each.

The mind boggles.

Yet they had someone at the MRC every other week .They also specialise in the art of milking.

We don't lay down for penalties yet we get punished and robbed the opportunity to go back to back.

[Salvatori Grubber]

It is 15 ^ 15 or 1/(1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15x1/15), both give the same result.

Think about it, there are 15 other teams in the competition each with 15 possible outcomes with regards to which team they would concede the least penalties to. Not sure where you get 14. BTW I work the 'slow' sign on a road gang. They once gave me the 'stop/go' sign but that didn't end well.

I was trying and failing to be funny.

Roosters have the 'no lay down policy' Glenn Stewart get a pat on the back for diving. Thats really the long and short of it.
For being dumb enough to admit diving, it must be seen as bringing the game into disrepute and a suspension and a fine should apply.
The NRL do nothing.
As the article states 'No one at the roosters is complaining about the penalty's they concede'.
