"Open Season" on the heads and faces of Roosters players.

[bondi.boy]

It sure seems to me that in every game, every single one, the faces and heads of our players are being attacked at will with little or no censure.

Teddy seemed to nearly have his head "taken off" in a high tackle in the Manly game...nothing done.
Turbo's tackle on BMoz…"great tackle" said the commentators...sure seemed to be high and in the side of the head...nothing done.
18m 16 secs into the 2018 GF , Maubs got up outraged at his treatment, nothing done.

Our kickers tackled high and late.
Short sharp forearms to the head as our players are falling to the ground in gang tackles...and face massages when they're on the ground.
It's about time someone did something to stop it.

"Stay down, and make them look at it", Ray on the radio always says.

You can say that again.

This thread was rejected, seemed to be, wouldn't go thru.
Took me a few attempts at changing it to get the other thread "Open Season" approved.
Weird stuff going on.
I thought this thread must've been rejected because it was "too controversial".

Mods, please decide, if you wouldn't mind.
Thank you.

You can say that again.

It's all the time...seems to be nearly every tackle.
I can see it clearly on my tv. Why can't it be seen clearly by the bunker, and the rest of the NRL?
Kicking our player in the back of the head when he was on the ground seems to be the basic 'attitude' of what is thought to be acceptable by more than a few, to do to our players, treat them like shyte and "punching bags".

A thousand apologies for the 4 threads the same.
1000% not done deliberately.

Just one apology BB not a thousand...you will crash the system.

Do you see what's happening to our players, or is it just me?

Roosters v Manly round 2 2020

Ch 9 highlights video in Youtube

2m 38 secs along, BMoz is running, Turbo hits him...as I see it, above the shoulder and in the side of the head.

2019 Grand final.

11m 55 secs along, 1st half.

Watch what happens to Cordner's head.
Stop tape at 11.58...Cordner's head is on the ground, with Bateman's forearm [closed fist], across the side of Cordner's face seemingly pushing down on his head. [after Cordner appears to having been swung around by the neck in the tackle.]

We could be headless chooks and still win the premiership!

Play our game and we win. Simple.

[Headless Chook]

Two high tackles in 3 games and we're being targeted??

[Mickie Lane]

It’s 1st grade football bb played by tough, rough thugs. The players love it & spectators like me love it. The Roosters give as good as they get.
I think the ballet starts up again soon if your not into violence.

Headless chooks thrash about with no clear direction.

If our players keep having their heads attacked they won't have any clear direction either.

18m 49 along into the 2019 GF...Radley gets the ball, then has his head attacked by a forearm to the face/head...bye bye 'Inflictor' for the rest of the match. Off into dizzneyland went he.
Because of it we suffered for the rest of the match. We were greatly disadvantaged.
The NRL should change the rules to make that sort of tackle punishable by not only a penalty but 10 in the sin bin at the time, in the match, on the day.
