I'll agree yes he's a flog & 1 bog ordinary coach,but......We certainly had the rub of the green last night & felt they had a few go against them.
The Heatherington 1 wasn't a penalty.Its funny how supporters say the games gone soft,yet want a player sent off when a player hits another in the chest & then bounces up.I hate how soft it's gone & the fact that supporters wanted even a penalty for that shows how weak they have all become.
Accidents happen but that was a chest hit,no malice & no injury at all ,so gifted 2 points.
Ika while yes he was hit in the air that was the biggest joke of a penalty by calling it tackled in the air.The Dogs player was in the contest,never took his eyes off the ball & did what all players should be doing.If he didn't comit to the play he would be bagged for being soft & pulling out.He never tackled the player or even tried to make contact yet it was a penalty.Unfortunate that Ika fell but by no means was it targeted or intentional.

Accident or not the onus is on the tackler to stay away from the players head. Radley got 5 weeks for a similar shot and SST got sin binned for something that wasn't even in the same ball park as Hetherington's tackle. It was a penalty every single time

Im glad you put the effort into posting what you did, saved me from doing it.

Dogs should've been penalised another 20 times for the roughing up of the heads/faces of our players in tackles.

BB the Chooks give as good as they get.
I was impressed with the Dogs forwards that Hetherington & Thompson played tough but the best forward on the field though was JWH, dont worry he made contact with certain Bulldogs players faces.

[player 1]

The Hethrington hit was identical to Radley's that led to his ridiculous 5 game ban.

That's why it was always at least a penalty and lucky not to be sinbinned.

Nothing to do with what went on prior to the crackdown, or what you or anyone considers "soft".

As for the serial troll trying to bring down JWH saying he was in players' faces, fk me mate you are such a bore most of the time with your fake gallantry talking up other sides. Just to save you the time posting, yes we know what you think, you say the same thing all the time.

It's a roosters forum - we don't need you with your condescending and stupid, and most of all boring and repetitive posts trying to denigrate other posters.

But like all trolls you'll continue.

I love it how people on here think the refs/bunker/NRL are against the Chooks. As Ive posted before all one eyed supporters at every club blame the refs/bunker/NRL & think their team is getting the rough end of the pineapple..

Pineapples? You love the ‘golden circle’!

Blaming the garden furniture at manly takes the cake though.

Almost feels better giving them a close but no cigar result rather than a cricket score.

Yep, they would of been thinking we’ll get a final shot or two, then BAM, some little prick runs away with the prom queen.

I like the fact we had to do some work to win it.

Maybe I am alone, but that penalty late in front of the posts is one of the reasons the game is fukt. Should never have been a penalty, The standard that has been set is wrong

Trying to bring down JWH, I said he was the best forward on the ground you dikhead, go & have a cry you soft coq.
I see the game & the players differently than what you do, I’m not hear to grease you up posting things you want to hear. Like I’ve said to you before either block me or don’t read my posts.

Yep exactly. I'm not saying I agree with that set of rules... I'm just asking for consistency coz I know it woulda resulted in a sin-bin and suspension if we did it.

The commentators have something to answer for a lot of the time. They decided to go from the shot behind Rads which is unclear and immediately conclude Hetherington's arm bounced up without bothering to wait for the angle that clearly shows he hits Rads on the head first up. Even when it did, they ignored it.
