It's not even whether those decisions are correct or not.

The only thing that matters is whether rules are applied to everyone, otherwise they are not rules at all, by definition.

If poking your tongue out is a send off, it doesn't matter as long as everyone gets sent off for it.

But they aren't. Lady justice is blind, but NRL refs apply the rules according to who breaks them.

Look we were never winning that game, but that reffing just made it impossible to have a decent showing! It wasn’t just the double sin binning I also thought the penalty against Bula was a poor decision last week papali passed the ball after held and the regaled gave him the ball back after he knocked it on. But bula with no difference but him passing the ball back while still moving towards the sideline, he then passes it backwards and the pelican calls it what? Of the ground or passing after being held?!? Either one was wrong and it ended in a crucial try to the opposition. There was ssl another one with a soft high tackle. These piggy back penalties caused outlet demise.

Stefano is a work in progress Imo Tom.
He may turn into a bloody good player eventually, but he is not worth the $$$ we are paying him currently.

When you sign players years in advance you better worry about forecasting.
 
Actually thought the Roosters didn’t play that well in some areas of the game considering the obvious mismatch of the two teams. Their kicking game for example was off with most of their targeted kicks to their wingers poorly executed. If they got this right they would have scored 70. Tupou and Young had us beaten in the air all night and could have scored 10 tries between them. Their ball control also wasn’t great. 20 points in each half against us with 11-12 man was not good from their perspective. Goal kicking was also not on target although conditions were tough.

Most of their points came in 8 minutes in H1. If AD doesn’t get pantsed it’s maybe 6 nil at HT.

I never expected us to win this game... but it was game over when we get penalised for inside the 10 which led to the roosters momentum to score the 16 points on the back of them being offside every freaking tackle...

This play here there are atleast 7 players offside...

I can take a loss. I expected it.. but this is rubbish. The Ref stuffed us in the first 20 and nothing can be done to come back from it.

Was that when Api passes to Steffano close to the line?
 
The sun has come up and it's a beautiful day in Sydney.

I'm still hurting and actually had to change the channel early in the second half.

Gonna be a rough month. This was always gonna be the first year of a tru rebuild

Only starting to feel down ? 🙂 🙂 🙂
Feel the same way at times but don't let it get to you. Go and do something else for a little while as you rightly have thought.

Especially when you think about what could have been in 2010 when we lost to them in the preliminary final. Shows how far we have fallen.

Yup please don’t bring that game up again ,still can’t believe we let that slip 😡
 
Any coincidence our return to mediocrity happens with the return of Klemmer and Bateman, wake up Marshall, drags in the top 8 thanks to all those Muppets who didn't want Flanno

Just watched the press conference. We self destructed again tonight and got little to no insight or explanation from Benji/Api other than the two sin bins.
Were was our line-speed and play the ball speed? Why did we revert to mindless rubbish when we had chances to attack their line? What was with our ill discipline and missed tackles? What value did we get from Bateman/Klemmer returning to the side?

The return of Klemmer and Bateman had little to no bearing on that result. In fact may have been worse without them
