Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[ism22]

COLLINS!!!

Ref right away: [peep peep peeep peep] 'haaaang on... check 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5!!! If that fails then play it as SLOWLY as possible and check for a double movement on the most dubious reading of the rules possible... arm can't promote it'.

Apparently you can no longer extend your elbow while pushing yourself over the line. Is that REALLY the rule ref? REALLY...?

Sack this ref to U13's. Incompetent!

[ism22]

Walsh knocks on. Johnson's still on the ground trying to milk a penalty from the 1st or 2nd tackle.

Gawd these guys are soft!

Come on. That’s been a double movement since 1908.
If it happened against us would you be happy if it’s called a try?

[DP1990]

Scrappy win ... it is what it is

[ChookMaster]

2 points is 2 points

[ism22]

Sorry Curran, Watene-Zzz and Walsh. Refs gave 'em a massive, lolly-filled easter egg and they still couldn't find the lollies. A frustrating game but we did it like Big Daddy Kane and got the jooob done.

[Rooster90]

Well

at least we won

[elo]

2 points and dominated the territory in the 2nd half, should have won this by 2 to 3 tries but the attack is seriously awful atm, side to side to side to side....yuck, yuck, yuck.

[Teddy]

The best thing about this game is that it’s over glad we got the points but we were rubbish luckily the warriors were worse this ref is the biggest joke of a Nrl ref I have ever seen Blocker and that other clown commentator shove that up your ass wankers.

Go Easts!

good game , warriors will beat a lot of teams this year ...everyone stop blaming the farkin refs ...seriously , warriors played well , roosters had to scrap that second half to win . no idea mom ...tups, sitili i thought was great today .

[bondi.boy]

You must be new here, if we don’t win by 40 it’s the refs fault.
I love a win as much as everyone else but know 99% of the time we loose it’s because we were outplayed

Not so.

[Carlos Parra]

Ref: 'bunker look for a high shot, an illegal strip and a knock-on from the Roosters!!! FIND SOMETHING!!!! Them after you've checked that, try to rule-out the Warriors' knock-on!!! FIND ME A TRY OR A PENALTY BUNKER!!!'

---

Roosters in that position?

Ref: 'no try... play the ball quickly Warriors!'

You'd laugh if it wasn't so obvious.

Momentum. Video ref said he was looking for evidence he slid. He did slide.

The call was shit. Just like the Sitili "ball off forearm" for the 20 m restart. He looked a hundred times for a touch, couldn't find one but ruled he did anyway.

The onfield ref was shit too. Worst, most biased examples: the penalty against Naiqama for a slow play the ball with 16 mins to go. Fark me Rhonda that was stinky - and led to a Warriors try; and the set restart against Joey for his legs tackle in the last minute.

He was a biased POS, just like the Fox commentators. Who was the houso sideline commentator saying "well here's the reason why Todd Payten raised the very good point that better sides get the rub of the green more often, roosters have had all the calls today".
