The Hotdog smugglers

[bondi paul]

The hotdog smugglers management are working together with the NRL in trying to secure our home semi at Homebush. Roosters management are filthy.

Why wouldn’t it be at Homebush if they get the home final?

[Lydon]

Unlikely, I know, but it would be good to see the Storm beaten by the Panthers tonight and the Roosters run up a score against the Eels and snatch the Minor Premiership.

Munster has just pulled out of tonight’s clash,it’s Penrith’s to lose I’d say.

To be fair I thought both sin bins were warranted.. Napa got off lightly with the sin bin, he could of potentially been sent off. And latrell was offside and tackled a player when the broncs could of scored. Both were stupid errors from us.

But Brisbane infringed earlier in the play with a blatant shepherd.

Because we’d likely finish above them on for and against so would expect to get Allianz.

However I don’t think we are guaranteed Allianz even if we do finish above them. I think the choice of Alliance or Homebush is at the NRLs discretion.

Anyway it’s starting to look more like we may finish first and play the sharks which would definitely be Allianz.

Pretty sure the top two earn the right to play the first finals at their home ground if they choose. Second week, the two losers from week one play at home against the winners from the bottom 4.

I get the argument, but two wrongs don't make a right. Latrell was offside first, so the shepherd (which wasn't called by the ref) was always secondary.

Still, do you send a guy off for that? I dunno! IMO they couldn't have awarded a penalty try because it was not serious enough (and Cummins probably knew that the bunker would pick the shepherd if he sent it to them as a penalty try).

As much as I wanna agree with the call, IMO it really should been an offside call with a yardage kick or a tap being awarded. Instead, it was 2 points and a send-off, which I don't think was fair given that Cummins KNEW there the call would be NO TRY if he asked the bunker to check for a penalty try.

It was a malicious call IMO...

Who cares. It was last week. I’m looking forward to this week.

Correct a mondo.

That's nonsensical.

They're all offside at some point; every play! It's only when they infringe that it becomes an issue.

Sorry Mitchell is not offside until he gets involved. and he was no where near getting involved when the shepherd occured.

Without doubt the Roosters were not good against Brisbane but the refereeing was absolutely disgraceful

[The Axe]

Raiders got stitched tonight for the very same shepherd and the try was not awarded.

Same ref. Different outcome. Nrl = inconsistency

that was bizarre, the guy that was impeded was standing there in position to make the tackle on the raider that scored. Whether its correct or not by the rules , to me that should have been a try

[The Axe]

KB. Want bizarre.
riff player hits storm player after attacker falls into tackle. Up till late last year responsibility on tackling player. Right? This is what they said to Napa and boo.

anyway same ref as last week. No storm penalty.

Best thing from the Riff v Cheats game was seeing Cam Smith shaking his head when Jimmy Maloney was time wasting with 5 to go tonight
