Bellamy

[player 1]

Watched the presser. Could this twat be any more of a spoilsport?

When asked to describe the roosters first half performance - "they got a couple of tries off penalties". LOL. Tosser.

To get a massive leg up like that from the refs, while all the while getting away with filthy stomping and neck wrenching with impunity from refs, and to create a fantasy world to live in where WE got the rub of the green??

I also thought their defensive line went early on almost every play the ball. The only penalties we received were automatic penalties. BTW, the taking out of Ikavalu's legs twice in a row catching bombs was quite deliberate - the second one should have earned a sin bin.

No coach has class compared to our man.

Well the Roosters got 5 penalties-half of what The Storm received. 2 of those 5 were tackles in the air on Ikavalu in his own quarter.....so i'm assuming Bellamy is whinging about the 'couple of tries' off the remaining 3 penalties that went against The Storm. They are not quite the protected species of the Rabbitohs bit they aren't far behind

Bellamy is the most over rated coach in the league. With the sides he has had at his disposal in recent times he should have at least 3-4 more premierships.

Stick him at the Bulldogs or Tigers and see just how good he really is.

And another of our received penalties was for Vunivalu passing off the ground. We received 2 general play penalties........

The blokes a prize purple turd. He is the symbol of a cheating, arrogant, entitlement driven establishment that thinks they are better than anyone. Pretty much exactly same as South Sydney, I say suck it bellyache.

I was going to watch the storm presser but decided it wouldn’t be good for me to hear what I thought I would hear and what player1 confirmed. Good to know the drizzle coach was the poor sport I expected. Amazing how he could imply that his team weren’t given the rub of the green.

[TheLoneRooster]

Oh, and I’m glad others noticed the absence of penalties received and the nature of the ones actually received.

[Tommy Smith]

Yep. It's the same every week.

I remember in I believe 2014 we went like a month without receiving a 10m offside penalty.

The majority of our penalties are for obvious foul play infringements. We get very few ruck and 10m offside penalties.

Contrast that with Souffs who get half a dozen late tackle count freebies a game.

Souffs have already received 44 penalties this year to our 26. In the infamous 2014 season they received 219 to our 135 (same number of games played).

It's both blatant and criminal.

Pls dont mention 2014 ever again. Blood vessels in my bald head keep popping everytime someone does! 2014 was the biggest fix in RL history for mine and it was disgustingly obvious.

We received two for high tackles. We got none from general play.

Wow. Pretty damning stastics!

Still the only Grand Final I have never watched

[TheLoneRooster]

Wow. Pretty damning stastics!

Yet you'll have people dispute them, even Roosters supporters.

I sent an e-mail containing a Tommy Smith spreadsheet to ten supporters of other NRL clubs (no other Roosters supporters) and asked them to explain the difference in penalties conceded/received as clearly displayed by Tommy's figures - not one person replied. I "bumped" the e-mail a week later with the line that I hadn't heard back from any of them - again nothing.

[TheLoneRooster]

We received two for high tackles. We got none from general play.

And therein lies the corruption as far as I'm concerned. Five received; two for Ikuvalu being taken out in the air (mandatory), one for thugivalu passing off the ground (mandatory), and two for high tackles (discretionary). So, the drizzle were otherwise perfect - wow.
