spend the $10k Robbo we have nothing to lose now

[Bigchook]

My mistake. Regardless when it became 16-16 I knew we were doomed as cronk is the best field goal kicker in the league. Alas, time to regroup for next week.

As did I mate. Typical stupid low percentage play to charge down gronk's first attempt gave the drizzle all the opportunity and field position required to steal the win.

It won't change a thing unfortunately.

Never underestimate the power of "a firestorm of protest"...it's how bondi-boy-ilk had death penalty 'death chambers' [the premeditated, cold-blooded killing of human beings by the State] abolished in Australia...and the caning assault on students by teachers also abolished.

Probably no need to march in the streets...yet; [although if the tripe that's being dished out to us by the NRL and its 'officials' is allowed to continue it will be the death of our club].

Best to just sue the NRL first...serve them with legal papers to appear in court...the trial should be interesting.

I watched the game on a bodgy computer feed .I wanna know...When Nene was denied it was a close call but all i saw was evidence of him scoring and no evidence of him not scoring..did I see right?
Didnt catch a replay of Toups disallowed try was he out.
Was the penalty against SKD that lead to Melbwanks last try a gimme from the ref.
Despite the weekly usual bullshit we have forgotten how to win and cant close games.
The Pearce captain experiment is over ..it lies with his form and been the halfback and Captain he has been atrocious in the final 15 minutes of our games that we have lost .Captain Mini wouldve had the game on.
I wouldnt worry about SOO the only bloke from us will be Jennings playing .

[Kingbilly]

Nene's try was not even close. The penalty against SKD was a joke.

Mr Walker, don't judge BC too harshly. he is a player in the much bigger picture than we see.
Do you really think TR would not have gone off if he really wanted to.

[The Axe]

KB, what is the bigger picture we do not see?

[One Eyed Willy]

The pen demands answers!!
Why the lack of penalties?
Why won't Roobo blow up?
Who is taking the fight to the NRL?
What is the bigger picture?

Why won't Buzz give us a full page spread about our lack of penalties and harsh treatment from the refs?

Seriously, do we practice situations on how to close out games? We are shit at defending and kicking f/g's

Even from in front, Cronk wouldn't have had such an easy time with that FG against other sides other than us, as other teams realise you will not be penalised for being offside and rushing early to get in the kicker's face - refs won't give the penalty in front (unless it's Souffs kicking or us defending).

We play by the rules. It's worth it though. After all we are the most penalised and receive the least penalties

[The Brain]

It all started when we gave B Finch the boot and his old man was in charge and it has stuck.
Rothfield may have stuck up for us but every time we play Cronulla he hits us with dirt Laundry stories .....to get the refs on their side and upset our game .

..and its just not our tean the Bulldogs are in the same boat.Getting increasingly hard to watch Rugby league these days I dont watch any games at all havnt all year wouldnt have a clue who pays for who just seen our games and every time I start watching other teams get sick of the rest errors and watch reruns of Raymond .Almost turned off our game with 10 to go thought **** this
Go Sydney FC

It would be very disheartening playing against the odds every week due to not only the clear bias but also knowing club management are inept in combating the bias due to their non action which clearly shows a lack of support to the team and coach. perhaps the NRL wanting their own board member on our club board and the issue the club has with it likely one of many reasons or more to the point of it as an excuse why nothing is said.
I have followed the roosters and game since 67 and I am tempted to turn my back on the game.The partnership with Sportsbet is mysterious as they won't disclose the length of the contract - I firmly believe the partnership clouds results. Look at it this way absolutely no way would the international cricket board have a betting company as a partner. Canavan and the likes of the Board members are no different to those at the NRL - self serving.

BC isn't a reactive person and knows the ins and outs of how it all works. When I figure it out I might be a CEO too
Saying that my impression of Robinson is that he is his own man and if he thought it necessary to blow up he would regardless of what anyone else thinks.

It is all consistent with the no diving stuff and with a bit of luck Karma will come into play as it usually does and we will be ok

[John Corey]

Nene should have put us in front. He did not go anywhere near hard enough at the try line and for some reason stayed upright allowing them to push him out. Plenty of wingers would have scored that try by diving earlier and lower. It was a really poor effort IMO.

[davos]

WOW, just WOW. Thank you Mr Rothfield. I for one Rooster supporter greatly appreciate your tweet.

Another travesty tonight. I'm pulling the pin, I've had enough.

More like enemy of an enemy.

Rothfield is seething at the way upupcronulla were treated by the nrl during the whole asada thing.

He's not a winger. That was a fullback trying to score a wingers try.

Does anyone know a site or something that you can see what time penalties happened during the game?
