Canberra captain went missing. Should of been in that refs face and tearing him one. Criminal decision by the officials. Obviously it came from upstairs without a shadow of a doubt. Money money money!Not a Canberra fan...But they deserve the Viking clap !!!
Sadly the refs 2 bullshit decisions gave the Rorters 2 tries and the grand final
That is why I still call it The National Rorting League
Definitely agree.Canberra captain went missing. Should of been in that refs face and tearing him one. Criminal decision by the officials. Obviously it came from upstairs without a shadow of a doubt. Money money money!
It's as clear as day. Embarrassing.Definitely agree.
What about the trainer hanging around behind the ruck & the junk call that gave the rorters the extra set of 6 (with another try)...
Yes correct. But that call by the officials was a clear rig job. Not by on field ref. He is just a puppet. The criminals in his ear.Cronk was binned for 10 minutes, in that time the Raiders did jack shit. BJ needed to catch and pass for Rapana to score in the corner but decided to take the line on and bombed a certain try. Sezer and Hodgson played poorly for most of the game.
If you look at the replay the call was correct, it shouldn't have been 6 again as the raiders knocked it on before the Roosters had the last touch.
I have no idea why trainers are allowed to be loitering on the field, especially just minutes into a game. Brisbane are the same with Langer - I often expect to see the stats for most metres run to show Allfie Langer top of the list.Definitely agree.

The ref clearly calls a number of times that it is the last tackle, and the Raiders threw it around as if they knew it was the case. They had enough possession, particularly when Cronk was sin binned, to have won the game by the 60th minute. Roosters looked down and out before half time; Raiders only have themselves to blame.The game was full of dud calls in my opinion, obviously the biggest one was the 6 to go call but if the raiders score off that and won people would blow up over that aswell because it was clearly off Canberra to begin with. The Raiders had some quality ball down the Roosters end and could not capitilize. But at the end of the day Rugby league is the real loser because our "showpiece" has been dubbed a joke due to the refs performance is the answer to go back to one Referee so there is no difference of opinion on the field?
The difference between the 2 teams is The Rorters are worth $2 ml to $3 ml over the cap...Is That fair ???Cronk was binned for 10 minutes, in that time the Raiders did jack shit.

What about the first half mate. Everybody would agree that Raiders had done well to be within reaching distance. Why? Because every 50/50 went against them in the first half. Yet they get two 50/50's that finally went their way in the second half and ONE was overturned halfway through a live call and they didn't capitalise but the Roosters outclassed them and took their opportunities. Puhlease Roosters were gifted opportunities at key times throughout and THEN after countless opportunities they capitalised. If Raiders are gifted EVERY 50/50 in the first half do you think they would be in the same predicament in the second half. 99% not, and they would have had more energy to effect their gameplan or already been in front but whateverThe ref clearly calls a number of times that it is the last tackle, and the Raiders threw it around as if they knew it was the case.

Maybe. Maybe not. The Roosters had no answer to the Raiders attack, and were unable to get out of their own half for most of the game. They were down to 12 men for ten minutes yet still held the Raiders out. At the time the winning try was scored, the penalties were four apiece.What about the first half mate.

Oh yep that explains it all. Stats penalties four apiece must of been a level playing field. Thumbs up brotherMaybe. Maybe not.
