Rooster Mitchell Aubusson’s lifetime deal..

[Guest]

Interesting to see the DT name 10 players for diving incidents this year with Mitch aubo being one. Can't say I remember it or ever remember aubo having that in his game.

That is ludicrous. I don't recall Aubbo taking a dive once in his career.

Well said. Do you remember Mini getting concussed a couple of years back and doing the same. He got up and tried to play the ball and made an error and we lost possession. I don't recall if we should have received a penalty but he was clearly concussed and kept going anyway.

I do, TCB. Mini never played for penalties and when he was Captain, he made sure his team didn't either.

They are farking kidding!

Who wrote the article?

Probably a work experience kid who has never watched a game of NRL in his life. He most likely got Mitch's name from an alphabetised list and started from the top obviously. I know we've had a few shady critters play for us over the years but Aubbo is not one of them.

Did you buy seriously buy Guerra's explanation? What really happened was after the game Hodgo came into the Roosters dressing room to have a chat to Guerra and asked him to 'look after' a State of origin brother and do what he can to try and get him off a suspension. I thought anyone with more than 2 working brain cells knew this. It is fact that Hodges came into the dressing room and sought out Guerra.

So are you saying guerra went behind robbo's back, and broadcast to the media world that we also take dives to get a penalty, or did our coaching staff give guerra permission to say what he did, to get another player off suspension and go against all the ethics we stand by?

If he did it on his own accord, then you would think there would be an issue with him and the rest of the playing group that he went against everybody at the roosters to get hodges off.

It would be nice to be privvy to these facts that you are, but unless it was shown on tv that he walked into the room and asked guerra to do that for him, then i have no other way of knowing as i wasn't in that change room as you were lucky to be and see it first hand.

It wasn't feigning injury. They were talking about obstruction plays.

And I was surprised to see it. I would be very disappointed if it was the case. I don't believe it is.

It was about staying down to earn a penalty. Jamie Lyon was mentioned in the article. And Sam Williams was listed twice in the incident list and was quoted as saying that he didn't believe it was feigning injury but rather exaggerating the effect of contact to draw attention from the referees. It wasn't about obstructions.

Are you saying Mitchell is accused of feigning injury to obtain a penalty?

I was in the dressing room and saw it all with my own eyes. I was already showered as I had injured my hamstring early in the game.. oops... No seriously Hodges was interviewed in the lead up to the Grand Final by Phil Gould and admitted to entering the Roosters dressing room after the match and asking Guerra to testify on his behalf in case the MRC found that he had a case to answer. To seriously think that the Roosters coaching staff issued an instruction to Guerra to dive head first into the ground to win a penalty is laughable. Surely he could have dropped the ball and claimed it was stripped, I know Guerra isn't particularly intelligent (he is a Queenslander after all) but surely you are taking the piss.

Sorry think you misunderstood me, i didn't mean they instructed him to dive to earn a penalty, but that they gave him the go ahead to defend hodges, therefore with his statement admitting that we dive for penalties, don't know how robbo would of thought that this wouldn't compromise what he stands for.

Just to let you guys know in case you haven't read the article, the 'dives' pertained to plays in which there was contact with decoy runners, not players feigning injury after mild high tackles or crushers.

Bigchook,

You're all over the shop.

Get a grip, son.

[Johnny Tobin]

Lol.

Apology accepted.

Harsh words from my little noodle..

No I'm saying he was accused of diving to milk a penalty.
