did i get this right? rooster 13/12 5 to go so klein gave them a kickable penalty for a 14/13 loss?

[bondi paul]

Klein just couldn't help himself to penalise Pearce. A tough loss. I rarely get angry after being beaten but how we were beaten by bias not just with the Pearce penalty but a 7- 2 penalty count against and the 2 in the second half against a team piggy backed down the field for a home victory and victory for the NRL / Sportsbet partnership. The games admin stench more putrid season after season.

Wouldn't have mattered when. He was never onside and as soon as he got involved in the play a penalty was on the cards. He was still sitting on his arse well after the play the ball, and never squared up at marker, which meant a penalty was warranted.

i know some of calls were a bit rough, but we were in that game right up until literally the last minute, and I would've said the dumb, lazy football we played - like Pearce's penalty - had more of an impact. Ball security, offside penalties, dumb offloads inside our 20, lazy defence etc etc should mean a long hard week at training for the team.

Yes, yes, yes.

But I just want the pricks in pink to give us a ****ing fair go.

[chopstiks]

We should have had a penalty five minutes before when Cords copped a blatant head high next to the posts.

You have to be a dodgy mug and stay down, apparently

So you blow it as soon as he gets involved, we don't play advantage like union ffs.

Yet the cordner high shot at the other end didn't warrant one? I was the last of the conspiracy non believers, I'm on board now.

This guy has always been as bad as Cummins for us. Here we are at half time. Penalties are 4-0. We could have had 12 penalties by now. And the binning of Toups was a joke. Nobody gets binned for that. And FFS it was a total dive by Johnson.

Should have seen the writing on the wall when they got their first penalty. Foran got up to try and play the ball quickly and dropped it. Friend was nowhere near the ball. But instead of our ball they get a penalty. Then Fergo fuucks up for a change and they get a soft as hell try.

It's so hard to win a game when you can't get one penalty. Not even one.

Every week sides automatically find perfect discipline against us. Well not every week. Last week Saints didn't but strangely they copped almost all the penalties after three inexcusable mistakes by the refs against us.

This is bullshit.

A total and utter joke.

Why the NRL is dying a slow death.

Nothing will change though until our Club sues the NRL.

Spot on again.

[bondi-boy]

Makes me not want to follow the game. My son who is more fanatical about the Roosters than anyone I know is losing interest because of the blatant bias.

7 - 2 today. The first and the last were disgusting.

I hope the club gives Robbo a blank cheque and he lets rip...... but he won't. He's too nice.

**** the NRL

Nothing will change until he does and the Club sues the NRL.
We'll just keep getting shafted.

Not RL...but,
RU...the Qld Reds played the Waratahs...Qld Reds caned 6-15 in the penalties..."some controversial, others at very critical times of the match".
Sound familiar?

RU is dead...died long ago here.
RL won't be far behind.

[Big Poppa Pump]

I'm starting to think all this garbage about Politis being so powerful is just a myth. If he was why isn't he putting the pressure on the corrupt NRL and that putrid, rancid turd Archer? Godfather my arse.

Grow some ****ing balls Roosters.

[Johnny Tobin]

Nice how they do a professional foul in the second half on the line and no sin bin. One rule for one side and one for the other.

One Rule for the Broncos. Another rule for 14 others. One rule for the Roosters - and that rule is screw them over at all costs.

[bondi paul]

No doubt next week we have Cummin$

A lot of what you say is right BUT...

The Warriors last three counts against - 9, 8, 9.

You can't really see the offsides on TV for the most part but they got away with hands all over the ball most second half tackles until their line was set (presumably cause it went on and on), stood offside on their line NEXT to the PTB, ...

If they penalised both sides I have no complaints.

[Crab]

Gutsy effort from our team . Agree with others comments regarding NRL/ game manager's bias against us . Toops sinbinning unforgivable Johnson falling without assistance in a dive worthy of a f#$@ing soccer game. Warriors offside constantly and we can't get a penalty FFS ! Give it to them Robbo, we were ripped off !

Actually we do have an advantage rule. Also, it doesn't get around the fact he was offside and got involved in the play.

I don't buy into the "it's a conspiracy" garbage. We won three minor premierships and a premiership with largely this side. We won last week's fixture that I've seen plenty on this forum long argue is an NRL favourite. Surely this would never have happened if it was a conspiracy?

Personally, I think there's a few lazy, mentally weak, and/or dumb players in the squad, and we would do well to look at that first before ref bashing.
