Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[Tommy Smith]

What about the strip on the ground by Keary when they gave the ball back to Canberra and they then scored their first try?

The most egregious of the lot!

And the shocking double standards at the end with Croker NOT penalised for an actual strip at the completion of the tackle.

Spot on JT and TS. Furthermore, it seems nobody here knows the reason for that last penalty to the faiders. I'll have to watch the replay and see if I can figure it out.

The official penalty on the NRL app was given for Morris “holding back”

two of the raiders penalties were were described as “others” so no real description given. Odd.

No idea how that grub Rapana didn't cop a MRC charge for his grubby hit on a prone player yesterday.

Holding back eh? Thanks milanja, I'll go take a look with that in mind.

OK, I've watched the incident five times now and being as impartial as possible, I can't see a penalisable offence there by Morris.

He’s disgusting. In fact lots of them are disgusting.

[Johnny Tobin]

I've come to accept that almost all of the media/commentators hope we lose in their television coverages...with a few exceptions like Freddy and Mark Gasnier. As disappointing as it is, if you watch them with that lens it's slightly less annoying...just.

You could see in their language that people like Sampson, Ennis, Meninga obviously didn't hide their feelings. Not sure about Braith but before the game he said "Ricky already hates the Roosters"!

Braith is a rooster mate. No doubt where his loyalties lie.

And I can’t stand Sampson anymore. Souffs-loving airhead.

[Johnny Tobin]

Canberra have a poor record against the top 8 teams. They’re just not good enough. They are not coached to win, rather they’re coached to spoil. That will win some games but not the big ones. Ricky appears delusional in thinking he’s team is better than it actually is. He knows that if he coached them to play in a more conventional way, they wouldn’t even compete.

Only Canberra and Dogs haven’t beaten a top five side. And that clown thinks they could win a grand final tomorrow.

apart from our first try, every try in the game from both teams came directly from the back of a penalty.

BTW what is crowding??

That's good to know thanks. He's not a great analyst to listen to, but he presents as a pretty likable bloke.

Like him more now!

I don’t think he is anywhere near the worst on that channel.

Crowding is not giving the tackled player enough room to correctly play the ball. It’s very open to interpretation and manipulation.

Usually invoked when the guy playing the ball drops it and the ref doesn't want his team to lose possession at that point.

Morris penalized for 'holding back ' that will do me !!! What happens if he tells the cheating arsehole what he really thinks ?? Lol . Seriously Ashley Klein we would like an explanation of that bullshit last minute penalty to the Raiders . ( Among so many other dubious calls ) . You are Not unaccountable !

Exactly. Can be interpreted in a number of ways.
