"Raiders break 25 year drought to win GF" would have been a better headline than the first one ive seen in news media which is "ref blunder mars roosters win"
NRL has a lot to answer for on this one. Why are refs so fkn poor now?
First half a deflection brushes a roosters trainer so roosters get 6 again, the trainer was just standing there like a player. If the trainer doesnt touch it a raiders player runs down the field and scores. WTF is a trainer doing standing behind the players in the middle of the field, during play right near him? He wasnt attending to anybody. Just standing there. How do roosters get 6 again for that? It was last tackle when it touched THEIR trainer.
Second half ref waves six again, so the raiders players thinks its tackle 0, and they are set for more attack and not defence, then the ref who waved 6 again calls turnover after the tackle. Canberra, not expecting it are not set in defence, Roosters take advantage and score.
How robbed were they? Im angry and i dont even support the raiders.
