Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

I thought you were just watching the ref?

I have 2 eyes.

Soft binning

For sure Mate. Penalty sufficient.

The Chad Towsend hit was deliberate, lazy and he made pretty sweet contact with Collins chin. Not sure I understand the commentary around it being soft, he knew what he was doing and was emotionally charged up.

Todd Payten said we get preferential treatment from the refs as a club.

****ing delusional.

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

hate to say it but ...naiqama starts next week ...

Missed the game tonight Penners, from what I have read 3 Binnings from the same team I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before? How was the ball control? Tackling? Composure? That’s what really matters.

Good to see you on here after a win.

The sin binnings unfair?

What, Cowboys' players are special?
Ask thyself:

"If it had been Radley, would he have been put on report and binned?"

The answer should be "yes".

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

Agreed, of the 3 that one was not even close to being a sin bin.

[ARD]

Shit opinion.

Think I accidentally deleted my last post, so let’s get to the point. Was a lazy slap we’d be blowing up deluxe about, shoe on other foot. Nothing in it, zero damage or danger.

He grew into the game well. Looked very tentative early on.

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.

[Mickie Lane]

Get some new mates.

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

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

If Rads or JWH had done the same thing they also would have been sin binned which would have put this place into meltdown which would have been valid because they were weak sin binnings.
Im not arguing the pointof whos had the most sin binnings Im just saying those sin binnings tonight were pathetic no matter which team copped them.
On your first point of "get some new mates" let me fill you in other than my brother I dont have any mates who go for the Chooks, I have 1 or 2 associates who go for the Chooks but they dont follow them with red white & blue glasses.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

IMO, 2 of the sin bins were warranted. The other could've gone either way. Would've been happy with the penalty for the hit on Walker. But could've gone either way.

I don't think that the officials did us any favours tonight. Keary's no try was BS. Common sense needs to be applied a little more.

Todd Payten having a whinge about top teams. Please his team let in 6 trys and were gifted their only 1. Trying to deflect the attention from his team's poor performance.
