Radley loves to do the glory shots and always gets his pants pulled down the next play

Good... **** the rorters.

I think they're my most hated team

• they're literally only relevant because an 80yr billionaire is a supporter, they have no other fans
• they have no junior base and poach every single player that pulls on a jersey
• their dark arts in salary cap manipulation and recruitment is well known but never spoken of by NSWRL media
• Haas is slowly being dragged away from us most likely because their 80yr fan is doing dirty deals
• they are the reason for six agains... it was their tactic to give away penalties inside the 10m that has eventually led to a need to speed up the ruck
• they have been given multiple games because of referring bias, including a game last year when they challenged a foul play to receive a penalty kick at the death and also earlier this year with contentious calls every second tackle... I think both may have happened at Suncorp

I hope the rorters never win another game again and it sends the 80yr fan to the asylum for insanity

All good valid points.

POSITION VACANT: Someone to replace Morkel as Digital Artist. Must be able to make signature of attractive football players once every 3-5 years. Will be paid in likes from time to time.

While I agree with the sentiment I don’t think encouraging clear manipulation is the answer.

One I forgot to mention is that

Rorters winning this game (that they shouldn't) hurts us with our upcoming draw and positions in the 8... whereas panthers winning has no real bearing on us... it just means they have a bigger lead over Melbourne and Cows

Can't argue with any of that.

It's the NRL clear manipulation is everywhere... I need to be able to embrace it every now and then, because I never get it when the broncos are playing

Well now that the Rorters have been ****ed over by the Penritherees, is Politis going to lean on his contacts to put the heat on?

May as well hand Penrith the premiership now and be done with it.

Maybe next year without Kikau and Koroisau they may come back to the pack enough to make the competition more viable. Otherwise they're just too good for every team in the competition.

Sydney showed some good signs and they can build off that performance but they still seem a year off from really troubling the top teams. With the Cheese coming next year, Walker finding his feet and Suaalii coming into his own they can trouble again. I still think they'll finish the year in the 8.

The Verrills penalty for a dangerous tackle.

Technically, it falls under the dangerous tackle category as the legs end up above the horizontal. But that's a ridiculous penalty.

To paraphrase panthers get all the calls. He disguised it by saying it more like “ roosters were hard done by the refs”

knowing what smith is like though I’d wager he is trying to knock down the tall poppy rather than actually sympathise with the team cooper Cronk defected to and succeeded with at the detriment to the storm.

Geez, the penalty before half-time where he basically falls face first into the turf, that was a howler of a decision, not even a case of the defender not showing a duty of care. It's Rugby League, sometimes players end up in positions that are simply unfortunate, the defender did nothing to put him in that position, they teach kids to tackle low don't they?

He basically got penalised for tackling too low

Sutton didn't cost the Roosters the game. Were not good enough in the end.

They are the better team, they're the best team in the NRL, that doesn't mean they should get a free ride by the ref, some of the decisions that went against the Roosters werefarcical and I hate them as much as I hate Melbourne

The one that really ticks me off is the Edrick Lee one. That was a CLEAR No try, there wasn’t even a question mark on it and it went up as a No try. How the heck does that get changed? The Titans were coming at that point and the wrong decision just killed the game off. And this was on the back of a passage of already questionable decisions against the Titans.

For mine in that game it was the Toby Sexton "knock on", how is it a knock on? maybe he knocks it on with one hand but then he knocks it back with the other and it never makes contact with a Newcastle player, the ref now has an easy out and isn't made to feel responsible for such a ****ty call because of the challenge system, the ref can simply say "well if you didn't waste your challenge"..

I think that might have been the call that led up to Newcastle getting field position for the try you're speaking about, actually
