You're a diver, Corey

ROOSTERS captain Braith Anasta last night slammed Corey Parker as a diver after the Broncos forward was felled by a Nate Myles kick during Brisbane's 28-24 win.
In a bitter aftermath to a spiteful Good Friday encounter, Anasta said Parker "deserves a trophy" for going down after he was struck by the Queensland prop's foot in a play the ball struggle.
"He did (take a dive)," Anasta said.
"It was a good one. Nate wasn't even looking. He had been tackled and trying to get a quick play the ball for his team. He was just trying to play the ball, it was just ridiculous. He got straight back up and didn't have a cut on his face. He should get a trophy for it."
On a night of high drama played out in front of 18,464 fans, former Roosters player Antonio Winterstein walked from the field a Broncos hero after scoring two tries against the club that let him go.
Winterstein, shown the door after a stellar year for the Roosters in the Toyota Cup, blasted past three Roosters on his way to the first of his two tries.
"He was always good," Roosters coach Brad Fittler said.
"But that's the salary cap. Even last year he was on the verge of getting a shot. He is older than 20 now and that's probably why we had to let him go. He is a gutsy kid and he is getting his shot now and making every post a winner."
After a brutal opening 40 minutes that saw only one try score when returning giant Willie Mason knocked a ball straight into the hands of Karmichael Hunt, the Broncos jumped out to 28-12 with 12 minutes to go. But the Roosters fought back to within just four points leaving Broncos coach Ivan Henjak fuming.
"It was ordinary," Henjak said.
"Some of those things are not acceptable if you are a Broncos player."
Skipper Darren Lockyer was equally damning in his appraisal.
"Hopefully it was the kick in the guts we need," Lockyer said.
"Every time we looked like we had put a gap on them we did something silly or lazy. We won the game but it wasn't good enough."
