How long until the 50/50 calls actually go 50/50???

Sadly we deserved to lose today. We were rubbish.

To be fair, the Roosters can't blame the refs for the loss today. The disparity in today's count came down to appalling discipline. In general, I thought the refs shared the 50/50s.

I guess that's why they call them 50/50s!

The refereeing was shit for both sides, we got a fair go.

There was a penalty we got for a Manly strip that was very, very harsh.
Last week it was our ill-discipline.

This week, we just couldn't hold on to the ****ing pill. That first 10 minutes was straight out of a 2009 highlights package.

It was just hard to see, the Manly player did push it out the back of Nate's hand. The penalty for Anasta stripping which lead to a Manly penalty goal however was a shocker, Buhrer dropped it cold trying to offload it and Cummins runs in like Braith is a criminal, horrible call. We were also penalised for 2 grapples which weren't also, but the Manly player pointed so Cummins ofcourse blows his whistle.

It was rubbish refereeing, didn't cost us the match though tbf.

The refs were crap for both sides today.

Just added to an inept display allround.

Only a couple of players from both sides can hold there heads high.

Both sides guilty of dumb penalties, bad ball security, dumb options taken, drop balls galore etc.


The game as a whole was b-grade at best.


anyway, we should be underdogs against the dogs at Telstra next sunday.

Lets not get carried away, still 24 rounds to go. Upsets galore. We will be better next week, hopefully
