Conspiracy

Posted by Travis Fraser on July 8, 2016 at 11:44pm

I know I might be biased, but is it just me or are the 50/50 decisions in games lately going against us ? The Andrew Fifita knock on, the Jack Bird touch for a try and the difference in ruck dominance against Sharks and tonight the so called forward pass to French early in the game, the Warea-Hargreaves high shot on Semi, the continued drop out tackle on Norman late in the game and the countless forward passes from the Roosters. Like I said I might be biased but I think we're just not meant to be in this years finals series regardless of our form.

No, we have definitely been given the rough end. However, we did have a slice of luck at the death. Gutho touched the ball. Justice, really. Poetic.

  Gutho probably did touch the ball but the roosters should not have been in that position any as Norman was tackled and dragged back in goal and a penalty should have been given. So you are right it was poetic justice.

  This is why they call them 50/50 calls, as on average they swing both ways. Norman was illegally dragged but it should have been a scrum feed to Chooks in the final minute or so. No conspiracy. Shit just happens

  I have a short memory. What can I say. But the year has been character building for the team, club and it's supporters regardless of the outcomes of some games

I said something similar a few weeks ago we have it all against us this year

It's not lately, we have been getting raped by the refs for years. It's a joke at the shit we cop weekly from these pricks in pink.

Like Timbo said, poetic justice and about time too
