Two incidents in the 78th minute in the GF ...

[Johnny Tobin]

ive been very pissed off all fi8nal series with goulds put downs of trhe roosters, he always seems to be talking the other team up then in the end we win egg on his face, no comments from gus?

In fairness he picked us all year to win the thing.

"The SST “strip” overruling by Cummins.

The penalty against Crichton when Rapana the cheat put the ball on his back as he was playing it."

These two, 42nd minute, Rapana, and 48 min, SST were criminal penalties, and really put us on the back foot.

It's why the game should have a Captains call or coaches challenge, 1 each half, get to keep it if you are correct. Both would have been overturned and we get the ball in good field position, and we would have reamed them from then on.

Re, biscuit knees, no one was touching him, so they have the right to make 1 play on him, ie drag in-goal (I think, happy to be corrected). The second one, where we got a penalty for them doing it to Manu, was a second attempt, so a correct penalty.

As soon as a hand is on him he is tackled.

Cummins is so one sided its not funny.

Besides the penalty rulingss going against us, he makes the following calls in general play:
52.20 Nicoll Klokstad knocks on - ignored by Cummins
54.57 Crocker looses the ball forward - ignored by Cummins
61.23 Wighton attempts a clearing kick, which hits Issac Liu in the backside. Cummins calls that its played at, and rules 6 more tackles for the Raiders.

Because of all the penalties & calls that went against the Roosters , Cummins kept the Raiders in the game. Even the commentators at the game said we had no petrol left to attack, and so a couple of tries that we have been scoring all year went begging
66.25 Taukeaho makes the break, but a tired Tedesco fractionally late to arrive in support
76.33 Tedesco makes the break, but a tired Cronk fractionally late in support.

Thanks Mr Cummins - you almost cost us a premiership.

And IMHO- Storm are more of a threat to our chances next year , ahead of the Raiders

Think the Storm might fade away next year. Smith has been slowly losing his touch and they are yet to cement a halfback. Their form towards the back end of this year was also very shaky. Then again, every year I write them off and I'm yet to be correct. Here's to hoping next year is the first time

The refs could of blown 100 plus penalties during the game due to both teams bending the rules. The better team won on the day so lets move on.

I thought it was very fitting that Cronk was the player with the ball upon the full time siren.
it was also noticeable in the manner Cummins took the ball from him, like a petulant child.
