Who said we had character...? all we want is to be treated fairly. If you want character, you might have to look elsewehere as that hasn't been here for a long time.

See.

It was only a matter of time before we could agree on something.

How many penalties did Ryles give away today? 0

The Roosters are not coached discipline, the Storm are.

The guy has been given penalties away everyday since he was born. All of a sudden, he is a good guy. I'd say give him the best & fairest for 2012

He was on the team that scored 44 as opposed to his previous team that scored 4........id say he went good lol

You're assuming now cause I thought you said you switched off :-)

I credit the Storm culture for the change, thats Bellamy.

These guys give there all for him. So they are on their toes when it comes to discipline, Ryles doesnt give away dumb penalties because it wouldn't be tolerated at the Storm.

I agree with the culture however...correct me if I am wrong as I watched the game online(and not clear) but if you see the replay later on, watch the odd few times that Ryles plays the ball with his right foot...the guy just pushes the ball without his foot touching the ball. I have seen a few of them being penalised this year. I'm sure that if he was still playing for us, he would be penalised. All I am trying to say that how the refs referees us compared to the other teams, especially today. I am not saying conspiracy but... something is wrong. That is all I'm trying to prove.

I too am sick of the apparent bias against us from the refs. The stats definitely back it up.

Whilst its true they go in with preconceived ideas about certain clubs it's our fault we let then develop in the first place.

We have basically been getting caned for half a dozen seasons.

We have to realise that we have caused it. But the good news is we can change it as well.

It will take a few seasons to have them give us the kind of breaks Melbourne get.

And we have to start the process by improving discipline ASAP.

Yer fair enough.

It was a horrible display today & I tend to blame the coaching staff rather than the refs.

getting back to character...I often chat to my working colleagues how come that teams like the broncos, Storm, Manly and even Dogs can go on with a crap team and perform like champions whilst we might be the hottest of favourites and still come out losing bad. Even the Storm when they lost all those points due to the cap, they still went out there to win.That kind of character has been missing for a long time. What's the answer...? I don't know.

I dont really give a **** that we got flogged...I dont care anymore. But what I do feel strongly about is how much illegal shit the News team get away with. Im with Ox on this one. We were never good enough to compete with them as they have a great team, but they are also the dirtiest team I can remeber since Tommy's Wests.

They push the envelope when it comes to fair tactics but the dirtiest were the refs especially that carnt in the video room.

Obviously didn't see his play the balls today, just rolled most of them straight through his legs and would have been penalised for it if he were wearing a tricolours jersey today.

So I was right...I thought I might be having a bad stream on my internet connection and imagining things. The guy averages 3 penalties a game... all of a sudden he is the poster boy for fair play?

A complete clear out is needed - not just players and coach.

We were never that good at that either.

Since Bruce Sinclair knocking out Tony Priddle all we have is Pongia fighting instead of tackling against Parra and Toops.
