11 - 3 penalty count - A Ben Cummins special

[Rooster_6]

We didn’t get one penalty from after the 24th minute and even that penalty was for Garrick kicking out on the full.

The better side lost today, Manly didn’t earn any of their field position through being the better side, they were constantly gifted it. Some from our own stupidity but a lot of it gift wrapped by Ben Cummins.

I don’t like to whinge often about refs but all Roosters fans know about Ben Cummins, he just hasn’t got any time for us.

We gifted them a try. We couldn't come up with anything when we had the chance in the last 20 seconds.


We lost ... plain and simple !

[Tommy Smith]

Blatant bias.

The forward pass call at the end was the icing on the cake.

I've had to tune out somewhat because of my extreme dislike for all things NRL and refs.

And today I watched a Roosters team give their all only to be systemically robbed of a win by a cheating set of officials.

If it's not Cummins, its Klein.

They're pure cancer and this sport won't recover until they're all gone.

[BraveTheWorld]

Really, really poor. As always you can talk about our discipline all you like, but it makes no sense how we're hammering them through the middle of the field, and hardly receiving any 6-agains or penalties.

Multiple blatantly incorrect calls, too. Some absolute bludgers.

Robinson has had a few goes at match officials in his time, but it seems like it falls on deaf ears now.

I was suss aa soon as I saw Cummins today. Sutton was appointed as ref but out trots Cummins. I think over the past 2 seasons we have had him maybe only twice

[player 1]

After arse raping us from multiple angles the entire game (starting with video company man Klein looking hard to disallow our first try), there was no way he was penalising Manly in that last minute, and they acted like they knew it.

[The Brain]

what were the 6 agains tally seems they got a ton of those too

There are a multitude of reasons that make up a loss, I don’t disagree with your points.

But if a player was to continue play poorly in our side contributing to our loses and poor play I wouldn’t think it odd that a thread be started about their performances. Ben Cummins is no different, unfortunately he constantly seems to have an impact on a lot of our games and I believe it to be worthy of comment.

I thought it was a very good effort by the Chooks, even Hutch went quite well, his best game i have seen, but we did get some very rough calls. I think it could easily have gone our way. Plenty of guts showed by our boys, we were unlucky.

[Roosters1908]

Cummins’ performance today was either grossly incompetent or flat out biased. Too many inexplicable calls favouring Manly to be anything else. And Klein… the fact that he’s considered “the best” speaks volumes as to how low the bar is.

[Bruce Pickett]

Sutton-Klein-Cummins = The Axis of Evil.

[Rooster_6]

Good to see Robbo call out Ben Cummins in the post match presser.

Should just be allowed to request not to have him anymore at this stage, there’s enough refs floating around.

[Andrew Walker]

Without a doubt a Cummins masterclass

[Carlos Parra]

I gave up wondering if we'd ever get a penalty or a 6-again call. It's the same old shyte every single frigging week and I'm damned sick of it. Nothing EVER goes in our favour. These criminals make no pretense of at least trying to look like they're reffing fairly. It's absolute corruption and it's time the club says and does something about it.
