Round 1 2023

[Insider]

The biggest travesty was the prelim. We were all over them early leading 12 nil. Then the refs took over. Every time we dropped the ball it was a knock on. Every time Souffs dropped it, it was a strip and a penalty. Leg ups out of their end for the rest of the game, yet they could lay all over us in the ruck, hands everywhere, no recrimination. We copped an absolute reaming!

What about when SBW got smashed across the face by Burgess, cant remember if it was the touchie or pocket ref that called out High tackle, to which the ref replied its ok, hes getting up. FMD what a rort. I watched a replay of that game and remarkably that whole incident had been cut out. Then there was the Casty Bullshit in the Semi v penrith in 14 as well.

What is everyones fascination with moving Suaalii to the centre....i get that Momo should *hopefully never play there again

But JS is such a weapon on the wing it would weaken one strength just to replace a weakness

I believe followers of the game & the players themselves think that the wing position is the least important position so they dont want to play there.
Suaalii is one of them & the Roosters know it so not to lose him I think Robbo will move him to the centres.
I agree with you that Suaalii is lethal on the wing but Im pretty sure he will play left centre next year & be almost as good as what Latrell was.

the refs didn’t even try and hide it.

Defending premier minor premiers were the most penalised team in the comp.

Soufffs had a penalty differential more than 40 better than the second best penalty differential team. I’d suggest that’s the biggest statistical anomaly in the history of the sport. Or something else.
