nat butcher showing us why he should be selected over Whyte with that defence. shcoking

But Jesus that was all on klein, what a joke of a ref.

calls a pen anytime theres a milk

Klein and the match officials playing the Dragqueens back into the game.

1st try assist for the klown. His done everything to ensure they got on the board in this half.

[roosterchook]

After a thousand penalties and six agains and a sin bin they eventually score. The ref is giving them overwhelming match winning possession.

the middle of the pack is showing its underbelly since nat came on

[Chook2]

One way out there but the ref keeping the dragons in it
I swear Klein is the worst ref in the nrl and we seem to get him every bloody week

[BraveTheWorld]

I don't even mind about the penalties/6 agains we conceded, although some were surely harsh.
But for us to win the ruck THAT heavily and to receive, I believe, 0 6-agains? That just cannot be right. They were getting absolutely eviscerated almost that entire half, and just zip. It's odd that the opposition is so perfect, week in and week out.

That Try before halftime hurts. I don't expect the Dragons will go away, and I'm concerned about Lomax, Hunt and Sloan when our boys start to tire.

[Headless Chook]

We've done incredibly well to lead 14-6 after the pens, six agains and sin binning. Surely we get a decent crack in the 2nd half, two more tries and I think we are comfortable, First scorer in the 2nd half is really important.

[RoosterFanNZ]

joke of a reffing performance. jared sin binned for at most a penalty and then just never ending pens and 6 agains.

good to be in front, could easily be more hopefully we can push.

forward pack been dominating but jeez Nat is a bit of a plodder when compared to every one else. why can other players get dropped for no reason when he really struggles to impact some games. Whyte in lock position is a lot more dominating.

need him to step up.

if klein reffed evenly we should have this easily

[roosterchook]

What’s Butcher doing there? He stood and watched while the try was scored. He should be released.

[B2B]

Klein the Klown. Need I say more

Butcher does twice the work in defense that Whyte does. Someone has to make the tackles. It's not just about picking all the guys who "dominate" the most. Butcher does better starting than coming off the bench I reckon. Just leave him out there and he cleans up so much. Whyte is a gun and his time will come.

[nayfo]

Confident Robbo will drill them at 1/2 time and the boys will come out and put these pretenders away in dominant fashion

[bondi.boy]

High tackles, penalties, a sin binning,
STOOPID, STOOPID short kick off...at this rate we'll lose the game, having beaten ourselves.

[Qld Chook]

I might be a one eyed Roosters fan but from the camera angles I've seen I have no idea why on earth JWH was binned.. honestly I thought Jenkos high shot was worse
