Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[Roosterfarian]

We win even without those binnings. We were all over them and they had nothing!

[bondi.boy]

Regardless who gets binned, it doesn’t make it right.

True.
But, if our players are going to be put on report and binned, then other teams should be too.
Anyway, it's about time players were punished for flattening our kickers late.
It's been happening for far too long.

Get some new mates.

No club had more sin bins than the Roosters last season was year.

You're really going to suggest "higher profile" players at a "higher profile club" like JWH or Radley would've survived those rulings because of their popularity... please.

He’s saying the bias is nonsense and so were most/ all the sin-bins tonight. He’s right.

[ARD]

Was deliberate, not lazy. That's the main issue and why I think the refs had every right to sit him down.

If Lindsay Collins was allowed a square up then sure let them at it and keep him on the field afterwards but halves can't be going around getting all emotional with cheap shots knowing the game has them protected with the no punching rule.

I call it the Cody Walker syndrome.

How do you know it was deliberate? Come on mate, was play on.

Thanks for the stats King. Amazing what the boys can accomplish when they respect the ball and don't give away soft penalties.

I’d like to see that game

[Jacks Fur Coat]

not many had an issue with the Townsend binning, but the sin binning for the walker late hit was laughable.

I did, was almost equally laughable. Love tap.

No feel for the game these idiots. Sinbinnings should be just for pro fouls, no more.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Can I just say Joey is "THE MANU OF STEEL"

[Rooster_6]

How do you know it was deliberate? Come on mate, was play on.

Of course it was, look at the technique and the game was just starting to get a little bit of niggle in it.

Next you’ll tell me it’s not his go and the one on Ponga wasn’t deliberate either..

Then there should have been a couple more Cows sent to the bin near the end of the game. Manu had a few offside Cows stop him from scoring again. Blatantly off side than interfering in a try scoring situation is a professional foul. A few Cows were very lucky to remain on field after that

[Bahrain Rooster]

First 60 mins were pretty good, last 20 not so much but it’s great to get two points. JWH starting was a big move that paid off. Only real concern is goal kicking when Keighran isn’t around. I hope the solution is found sooner rather than later.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

If someone wants to start a thread, it should be about Toops. He is an absolute monster.

If him and Joey played the same side would be the best centre/wing combo in the game....by a stretch.

Watching it a few times, he hit him flush in the the head, didn’t bounce off the shoulder, and was a pretty good whack.

got no problem with that one.

Got my vote

Unconvincing.
