Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[Headless Chook]

No charges coming out of the game.

That's about the best thing to come out of the game. We should pretty much have the same team next week you would think.

[bondi.boy]

Watching the replay now.
Teddy was thighed in the back by Clifford before his hands touched the ball. The bunker sees all, the ref sees all.

What about the *4678* times the Knights should've been penalised but weren't, and should've lost possession for forward passes....but didn't?

*Robbed* again.

NOTHING will ever change until OUR CLUB ...does...something about it.

. Complains in press conferences.
. Complains in the media...issuing official media statements of complaint.
. Treats the refs and bunker with contempt, same for NRL officials and ARL Commission officials who preside over everything and basically employ everyone.
. If all else fails, LEGAL ACTION must be taken.
We must not allow ourselves to be victimised.

Our $5 million Jersey sponsorships could be in jeopardy if we keep getting *robbed* in matches and slide down the ladder.

Our captains should start treating refs on the field with contempt...stop smiling at them, stop discussing things with them, and just ignore them...unless spoken to by the refs or having to lodge challenges.

We had about 60 mins to rectify the situation. Stop making BS excuses. We deserved to lose and Newcastle deserved to win. Calls will always go against us.

Teddy had more to say about the disallowed try than his fumble with clifford on his arse , it seemed that he copped that one and knew that they probably got one over him there and I tend to agree with him. Was it klemmer supposedly obstructed getting to Toops after 2 other cats failed to tackle? I'm at the point of laughing with obstructions now.. that plodder was obstructed from doing sweet FA

Go suck on a lollipop.

Let's hope Radley and Smith pass their HIAs during the week.

Would be nice to see Victor finish more games.

[Rooster_6]

Thats why he is truly the best coach in the NRL.
Has never lost a Rd 1 game in 20 years. The guy demands the best from his players from game 1, no losing & coming out with "we werent ready"

Wouldn't swap Bellamy for Robinson.

We deserved the game to be refereed the same for both sides.

Far too many calls go against us, to the point of *robbery*.
Other teams, when playjng us, seem to be allowed to do without censure... the same things we get penalised for! It's not fantasy, *everyone* can see it.

There is massive betting on NRL games now... a new betting agencg seems to bob up *every week*.
Massive amounts of money are being wagered.
There should be a Royal Commission into the way NRL games are being managed on the field and by the so called "bunker"...why teams in games are seemingly not being managed the same.
NRL should go back to two on field referees...as in the 2019 Grand Final when that wrong '6 again' call was righted only because there were two onfield referees.

If not a Royal Commission, then a thorough investigation by the govt dept that oversees betting to make sure the punters are not being disadvantaged by poor officiating.

It's the loss we needed now with the cobwebs gone our season starts round 2

[Bruce 38-0]

Just watching todays Titans v Eels game. Can we please get Ice Man back for next week?

[Headless Chook]

Let's hope Radley and Smith pass their HIAs during the week.

Considering Robbo said neither player was concussed and had absolutely no symptoms, they should be pretty right

Haven't seen the presser. I assume he was having a crack at officials for not allowing them back on.

I thought Taukeiaho looked really good, I know he's been carrying some injuries over the last 2 years but he carried the ball strongly and was heavily involved whilst on the field. Good signs going forward, I would probably start him next week with Collins.
