Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[Rooster_6]

The standard of refereeing in the game as a whole is really bad all round.

I can accept bad, we all have a bad day at our jobs.

Creating new interpretations of rules to penalise someone is just really odd and starting to become suspicious behaviour as it seems to be one official consistently when it comes to our team who does it.

I know the Roosters have put in multiple complaints against Sutton to the NRL yet they continue to appoint him in all our big games so it’s really just a sit there and cop it.

Seriously...we need a Gofundme for Robbo to call out this bullshit!

Go fund me is uncle Nick.

[Eggspert]

Penalties like that just add another brick in the wall of losing interest in the game of Rugby League. Sutton just making up penalties just pisses me right off.

[Johnny Brass]

Brave effort from the boys in defence but our handling has been atrocious in admittedly slippery conditions.
Sutton must have German heritage because he's giving us a double fisting.

Sutton aside, in the rain we can't afford to make any more handling errors. They killied any momentum we got in the 1st half.

[bondi paul]

Sutton likely had the Klown from the bunker in his ear. Sutton is a architect like Albert Speer. Both caaaarts.

I have no idea about half of those 6 agains. Diabolical. Not fair.

[Seventy Five]

FMD, I hear circus music again.

[Grant Hedger]

I am switching to AFL. Thanks PVL.

It smells funny.

[Andrew Walker]

I’m still seething at that penalty

[The Corner Post]

Sutton, what a joke.
Loose carries that we can’t captains challenge
Letting panthers play a three tackle advantage
Gift penalty to Panthers 1 min from half time
This is almost unwatchable

[chopstiks]

Diving into the pitch gets you a penalty. I learn something new every game.

Do you know what the official response was from the NRL regarding this BS from Sutton?
