So, funny story..

Good post mate. I'm still not entirely convinced about the one in bold though.....we were never allowed to get going in that one in my opinion.

Fair call But those are the types of games You cop it on the chin and if you say anthing its in an inner circle Not for all and sundry to hear The 2nd type of reaction lends weight to the theory that some here are loonies with their thoughts on what is actually happening in Rugby League and to the Roosters in particular

this from the guy whose position on the O'Donnell 3 week suspension tackle was;

"O Donnell should be praised for his actions not condemned His extra force saved the young lad from landing on his head Which IMO is really what he deserved for balatantly trying to cheat by walking off the mark"

Hear, hear.

Like everyone on here I'm sure, the Roosters are a part of my blood.

But if we cop some of the shit we did last night in a Prelim or GF vs Souths, well I mean what is a person supposed to do? How much are we supposed to take?

Suppose we're down 18-16 with two minutes to go and we get denied in a Prelim vs Souths with a no try ruling like the RTS one last night ... there's no way I ever want to experience that.

But it's a real possibility. And non football loving people don't understand just how hurtful that would be. And frankly, I would have no intention of ever experiencing it again.

In which case, like you, I'd be done with the game. There's no way I'd be willing to continue to put my emotions on the line like I do when they're vulnerable to constant incompetence (at best) or bias (at worst, even if on a subconscious level).

I'll continue to buy a Roosters membership, but no way could I watch another game again. I, too, would be done. There's only so much someone can take.

Tommy I am with u it's a rort and it clearly evident - there has been a emerging pattern all season and for years now and the appointment of last nites refs who took care of the manly vermin game short term around after titans adds weight to a rort, god helps us if we get the 3 in round 26 or a semi.

Um that was a piss take But many here bit I actually credited you with a bit more intelligence Old mate backwards wasnt quite sure But deep down he knew Milanja knew

I never bought into the Conspiracy theories either, but that is mostly because I would get so angry when we used to lose from a bad decision that I'd throw the closest thing next to me or kick a chair, and would basically act like a child, it angered me more when non rooster supporters would say that its not just roosters that get the bad calls, it happens to all teams, I couldnt be bothered fighting it anymore cos you look like a bigger child.

thats why now days I still buy their merchandise and attend games and love a win as much as always, but the losses dont affect me that bad anymore, cos the result wont change, mates cant even work me up anymore cos I dont bite back. Too much lost energy on trying to explain explain why a decision was wrong, when people dont care anyway.

thats why this yr, we are on top, with ordinary penalty counts and decisions, but we are still on top. Im happy.

Unless they change their ways Which is a likely as me breaking 12.5 for the 100 these days Not even God can help us if we get those three I am praying we dont

I had similar conversations with friends today.

I just wrote a really insightful post but I could be sued for its content so it will not see the public light of day.

I recently heard Arthur Summons talk of how he cannot forgive some of the decisions in their GF loss to the Dragons, nearly 50 years on. I understand his bitterness.

I am close to throwing it in like Bears fans have. I don't know if I have the fortitude to see it through but why waste my time when the referees can hide (there's more pink out there than ..... <insert rude metaphor>) and most fans can't tell which ref made each decision. I wish Easts would act as we are their fans and I wish they would include us when calculating a response to the NRL.

I am angry because all the points raised about last night deserve to be raised with the NRL. Sadly nothing will be done until a team walks off the field and causes the spotline to be directed towards this.

Less red meat.
More red wine.

More chill & enjoy the ride.

Que Sera Sera

I will always enjoy watching our team, no matter what the circumstances.
That's the way we supporters roll.

I still think you were pissed maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate.

Get sport betting out of the game of rugby league and you will see the teams deciding who wins, not officials. How's that for a conspiracy theory.

I say for all those that are going to throw it in when we get rorted again by these crooks we all jump the fence and make sure they get the next call right (000). They get away with it every week and it makes me sad that this game we all know and love is not for the fans anymore but about the money.

Every post in this thread i agree with and is actually helping me get over the anger toward the NRL for making sure they got the Rd26 clash they wanted. Thread should be renamed 'group therapy'. Lol

Good call on the sports betting.

your theory on the betting has made me wonder many times.

I love a punt and seem to get screwed often by a team or comback that shouldnt happen. Had 2 bets alive on the weekend both needing brisbane lions to win by more than 10 points, lions lead at half time by 80-30, they scored a total of 20 points for the second half to win 100-93. Bye bye a $960 return for 20 bucks.

always makes you wonder....

i got a chuckle out of your therapy comment.i agree the gambling plays a big part in it.crowe and crown casino have definite links to the nrl. recall ben teo incident was hushed up for 3 weeks and during this time the crown casino deal was done. co incidental i think not. i shall go even further.last years try by inglis the grub in soo had all the hallmarks of a fix. next day the telecrap had front page story of " gambling online up to the minute" with a soo pic as a sub header.last weeks manly vermin game was a rort.we had the same refs last nite.maybe the nrl want the roosters in the big one with the vermin but i fear a repeat of 2010.there are too many incidences to think it is not a rort.even opposing fans last week and today knew manly and the roosters got rorted.i also like the axes comments and mr andrew walkers.on this topic. klein the klown is the new darcy lawler the ref from the 63 grand final.
