Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[Bansai Pipeline]

Massive, massive win BTW. Season definer.

Can’t stand the ball strip....ruining the game

[Bmw06i]

Robbo raised the stripping in his press.

good on him.

[Bruce Pickett]

The refs were something else.
All of their trysts came off penalties?
Penalties shouldve been 10-3 our way.

[fletch]

Robbo was absolutely filthy with the stripping rule in his press conference.

[fletch]

lol Ricky claiming things didn't go there way via a few ref decisions.

[Kelby]

Wow, farking, wow.

[Bmw06i]

Was I watching a different match than Ricky???

Wow wow wow.

Good on him though for kinda agreeing the stripping rule needs to change.

[Kelby]

“Its not 1 on 1 is it. Three go in, 1 grub strips, the other two peel off. You can see what they do at training.”

Agree that’s why the rule needs to be changed.

We need to start doing it as well. Training time.

[Darkone]

Hope to see Ricky kicking the chairs in the sheds.

[player 1]

lol Ricky claiming things didn't go there way via a few ref decisions.

i can't say I'm surprised. Yes Ricky has had a hard life but for him to put that loss down to a refereeing stitch up to us - OMFG. Just speechless

[bondi.boy]

Central Coast game today...
half time.
HT summary on Fox
"8 penalties in a row got ......back into the game."
Yes, refs have absolutely no problems with giving teams 8 penaltied in a row.
A broom should be swept thru the whole place.

Can you image a Storms vs Raiders semi final - grubs vs grubs. Wrestling, strips, offsides, penalty advantages, knees, feigning injury. A great advertisement for the game. Spare me.

"Get them in the GF" is what todays reffing reminded me of.

These two will have a bash and outstrip-athon next week.

[The Lip]

Whilst on penalties WTF was the last penalty of the game for - did they rule Morris interfered with the Canberra player? Should have been game over at that point but enter Ashley Klein once again to give them one more chance to steal it,

[Kingbilly]

Every commentator called him offside.
I assume they know the rules!

really, precedent seems to dictate that a knowledge of the rules isn't high on the prerequisite list for commentators.
The difference initially I thought the same but I slowed it down a reply and had a better look


But saying that I also thought there were plenty of other incidents that we should have got penalties for but didn't. I also believe the refs did not dictate the game, it was the teams (both good and bad)
