Official Round 14 - Dogs vs Roosters - Consolidated Match Thread

[Rod67]

The question has to be asked would we have been better off just keeping Woods? He’d probably be playing origin right with 3 other props now injured

LOL!......Now I hear Woodsy, that's what his mates call him, is a top bloke but he is one of the most over rated forward in the game........Woods might have got through a lot of work but he was a hapless water buffalo for the 'Dogs.......I lost count the amount of times he either dropped the ball or tried to offload a pass when there was nothing on and gave easy possession back to the opposition or was penalised for not playing the ball correctly.......the look on Pay's face after every error Woods made was complete and utter frustration.......What's more he's a crock, seems to spend more time off the field with injury than on it......Best thing they ever did was palm him off to the Sharks.......Hope he's back for the Sharks when we meet on Sunday week as that will give us a huge chance.

The dogs have h thcompletions in the Nrl.
Do you get any points for that?

Just false hope my friend lol

Lol don’t worry I’m much the same even though those bastards find a new way to disappoint me every week

Obviously there was alot wrong with this game - and apologies if it's already been discussed - but one thing that really killed us was early in the contest, Brown rolls a grubber into the in goal which had a surprising lack of kick-chase, resulting in a 7 tackle set.

In the replay, you can clearly see Cronk wrap his arms around RFM and prevent any kick chase. RFM stops at the line and no one else chases.

Then at the end of the game, we get awarded a Penalty Try for the exact same thing.

I don't want to come off as a salty Dogs fan but we're constantly fucked by the refs in calls from kicks. I can remember multiple times over the years we've had players binned/ penalty try's awarded against us for the exact same thing. Cogger was concussed and taken high just last week with no review.

If memory serves me right, the Roosters scored on the ensuing 7 tackle set. Obviously we need to be better at defending 7 tackle restarts, but we should never have had to. Cronk should have been binned (at worst penalised for escorting).

CHN got done for it at the start of the year (Was it against Melbourne and they won the game by 2 points?)
Its baffling how this sort of thing can go on in modern sport and not be called out.
I used to love watching football but now park footy at my local is far more entertaining than the rigged NRL.
