Roosters v Raiders Grand Final Thread

[Leader of the Flock]

Ricky showed a lot of class in his press conference, from the clip shown on Nine anyway, he and his players(Wighton and Croker) were very restrained; the reporters were really looking for a big blow up as they know it was a bad period of play, correct decision though IMHO, that was a real turning point.

Well done Sticky.

What’s he said ??

Just from reading online... Annesley said that the decision not to award 6 again was correct.

Not sure if he was asked if it was appropriate for the referees to change the initial decision while the ball was still live though, which is the real issue.

So next year they've decided to not cheat. Hold on, no, the more they get away with it the more they want.

Everyone was on the raiders bandwagon, the feelgood story had they won wouldve been only just.....the difference between us and raiders is what im genuinely excited about... that once we get our full squad back plus up and coming talent like hoppa and schuster...we will have more gears than raiders so smashing the chooks will be very possible

He said they called several times that it was still the last tackle. But as Gallen said, the players wouldn't have even heard that. They saw the initial signal of six again and played on accordingly. I said it after the Manly-Souths debacle, Annesley is out of his depth and should resign. He's just beclowned himself again.

Did they actually show a replay of the incident to determine whether it was 6 again or not ?? They didn't during live play and I switched off straight after game as the Cronk fapfest commenced.

Positive note: the 2008 40-0 score line was never under threat.

Negative note: hearing Manly junior ‘Sleepy’ Ferrills splutter twaddle about the Roosters’ club, it’s history, yada tads..

And he wouldn't know when they started calling themselves Roosters, damn TriColours, can't stand them.

Can the NRL Bunker be hacked by Ukraine?

 

[Leader of the Flock]

Yeah, they showed a replay; several times in the post-game wrap up actually; it came off a Raider’s shoulder in the contest for the ball and then bounced back to the Raiders.

 

[Technical Coach]

I've watched the replay a few times. From what I can see, the Raider's fifth tackle kick rebounded off the head (shoulder?) of a Raiders player and it was always the last tackle. In other NRL games, I've seen the call of six again being similarly overturned on the run. I'm not sure that this decision decided the outcome of the game - unless the Raiders lost composure because if it?

The issue of course being that the refs waved 6 again, the Raiders saw and responded to this, then the refs changed their decision several seconds later.

If the Raiders knew it was the last, they could have at least put in a kick, grubber or field goal. But instead they died with the ball expecting another tackle which they didn't get.

The Roosters score off the very next set which was the last score of the game.

leaves foul taste in my mouth...

Pun intended?

 

[ellakasmar]

Honestly glad we didn’t play tonight if yet another howler of a decision didn’t go our way. Hope for a much less controversial 2020, and a Manly grand final win

 

[Cliffymagic]

Annesley is a corporate whore spin doctor.

As one of my mates said: Easts must only have paid off Sutton.
Next time they will bribe both refs because that stuff-up was embarrassing.
