Play-on

What about their forward short ball when they scored their long distance try.

Even better was Andrew Voss, "can't really blame the refs for missing that" lol. What a d1ck.

The wall set up I am ok with but interesting how not one commentator commented on how also the ref helped by not just getting out of Johsons path whilst on his feet but diving to the ground so Johnson had clear vision for his successful field goal attempt. I am glad we were victorious over the Warriors but also over the NRL pre determined rort the NRL /Sportsbet have engineered.

I think the wall is a great idea, no different to the blocking wingers get from their own players these days. As long as no one from the wall moves or grabs the runners coming through. I was impressed by how quickly they set themselves.

And this is Jake Friend "not" being held back by Simon Mannering in the Warriors field goal. BTW, Mannering wasn't the one playing the ball so it is not a case of tangling with the ball-player.


I can almost understand every forward pass or knock-on by the Warriors being allowed to play on. Video refs ignoring conclusive video evidence though... fmd.

The Warriors standing up blocking is illegal by the rules of the game and last night was the most blatant I ever seen, it has been in the game for many years but with so many close games now this rule needs to be used..
Retire at play- (g) players of the side not in possession other than
the-ball the player taking part in the play-the-ball and the
acting halfback are out of play if they fail to retire
ten (10) metres* from the point at which the ball is
played or to their own goal lines. Players of the
side in possession other than the player taking
part in the play-the-ball and the acting halfback
must retire behind their players involved in the
play-the-ball or to their own goal line.

Have to give coach Robinson points for diplomacy in regards to Jake Friend being held back by the warriors' #13 during their field goal to level the scores.
The home crowd seemed to think they were dudded at the end of the first half and at other times of the match.

I was OK with the play-on call given it was a split second thing.
I was not OK with the forward passes.

Well done to the Roosters, missing five usual first graders (for some reason the absence of JWH wasn't mentioned) and playing with 16 only as McIlwrick didn't get any minutes.

Not just the home crowd.

McFadden had the hide to moan about "rough calls".

they did go the last fifty minutes without a penalty, but two tries from forward passes makes up for it
