The Presser

Dud calls have been going on since 1908 never the less the Roosters made errors in general play and in defence which cost them the match.

Penrtih also could have scored a few more tries as well. A turning point one could say was when Radley dropped the ball cold as the Roosters had some momentum and after that they very rarely got down Penrith's red zone.

The Roosters seem to be always coming out of their end and with Walker not having a long kicking game Penrith were starting their sets from 30 metres and beyond out from their try line in those last 22 or so minutes.

Robbo on different treatment, getting penalties etc:

"You can call Yeo. You can call Cleary. But if you don't penalise, you end up with 28% possession. It wasn't a good enough performance tonight....

"Obviously there were issues there with our team but not the other team....It's not going to happen in Roosters colours. It's not bias, it's just a fact."

For those here who criticise Chookpen members who think the Roosters are treated differently by some refs, note that Trent Robinson does not agree with you. He had to say "it's not bias" or he would be fined, but the implication is clear that he believes there is something rotten. What other explanation for the "fact" of this differential treatment is there?

Robbo can say things but it doesn't mean it's right and people should think the same though - basically the Roosters made errors in general play and in defence that cost them the game - 3 of Penrith tries were from general play missed tackles close to the line and 1 from a scrum where Penrith had an overlap - not sure what happened there if the Roosters were one short in defence - have to have another look at it.

The Roosters had dud calls and what not in 2018/2019/2020/2021 for instance - difference is that they were winning those games.

If the Roosters win last night then nothing would have been said.

You are saying that only the Rooster mistakes cost them the match and the dud calls as they have always been part of the game had ZERO impact! How many incorrect decision AND lack of penalising the other side are required by a referee before you would concede it affected the result? 10, 20 , 30...? There was so many errors and inconsistent refereeing decisions in last night's game it did determine the result. To expect a side to be so superior to their opponents that last night's refereeing would not affect the result is ridiculous.

Winning games when you have a superior team and can overcome the dud calls, does not excuse the dud calls. Quite simply the game should be refereed fairly and when it's not criticism of the official is warranted.

The dud calls in the seasons quoted and the wins were more often against adversity unlike Penriff’s win last night as they clearly got a leg up. If the roosters had won last night the ref Sutton and mate Klein would still have been criticised.

FM you can spin some shiit but at least you make me laugh at you.

In my time I've celebrated Ivan Cleary, I've defended him and even cheered him. But I've never hated him until that smirk. To hell with him and to hell with the Westie Shitheels.

Indeed.
The crowd was smirking and mocking our players and us too.
One doesn't have to be Einstein to figure out how the Panthers win games.

Exactly.
As we slide down the ladder, the Club seems to have decided to speak out and fight. Not a moment too soon.
If nothing changes the Club should call in its lawyers and go down the legal road.

Of course we bloody well make mistakes... 2018/19, last night. But ffs Radley dropping it what does that prove... the actual 6 agains and So last night does not need any hypothetical or speculative analysis or what ifs.

CIRCUS MUSIC !

Instead of investigating itself and its officials/systems...the NRL is to investigate Trent.
LOL

100% correct. How is it that the ref can allegedly keep calling out Golden Child Cleary and Yeo for being offside but never penalise them or call 6 again? They’re already a powerhouse but still get all the calls while we got nothing.

I'm sure the other coaches minus Cleary will set up a Go Fund Me page..he only said what others are thinking anyway..just like we all did when Geoff Toovey requested the 'investigation'....
