[Round 22, 2021] Broncos vs Roosters

[Morepudding]

I agree with the mentality that the game sucks at the moment and it definitely does. Momentum is too important. 6 agains and ref calls for unlucky accidental high shots they did no harm etc is bullshit. Players milking everything now because they know if they got touched high they get a penalty. But broncos made a few very bad errors. Both wingers made costly knock ons which lead to points against us snd Kennedy was awful. Giving them the line break where Teddy almost scored and the knock on at the death.

Best game I've seen Coates in awhile.
That bat back for the Riki try was all class. And he threatened all night making that Roosters edge nervy that 1st half.
Some people talking shit cause he definitely was not the worst out there.

He was the second best New Guinean.

I remember clearly the majority of BHQ wanting Seibold to call out some of the BS and that we had a massive injury toll. And yet the moment he did he was criticised for making excuses and not taking responsibility for his shit coaching.

Kev needs to play the game, we just have to hope Big Double D's is in the background asking some really charged questions.

I am glad Kevvie isn’t a whining dickhead who throws tantrums at the ref after every loss like Sticky. In the end, penalties went 7-6 their way. We almost won because of one ourselves.

The very worst loser is the loser who claims there’s a conspiracy against his team. What a load of shit.

No-one can beat Melbourne. Storm are top, daylight second, then Panthers, then more daylight. Then the pretenders start...Souffs, Rorters, Eels. Then another massive gap to the rest.

Salary cap working as intended I guess? EvENnESt CoMp EVAHHH.

Souffs are way in front of daylight.... they've only been beaten by the riff when they were absolutley humming and the storm...

Yeah they say how even the comp is but isn’t it like 2 teams have won 70% of the premierships in the past decade?

 

[Wolfie]

all fixable. with some confidence and maturity.

I agree. We still have plenty to learn and are a young side, but i still feel some of the things we do are just plain dumb.

 

[Broncorob]

Ironic that Gamble kicked off out on the full lol

not quite the same he was trying to pin them to the sideline and Walker caught it in the field of play withhis foot out so smart from him. it didnt sail over the dead ball line into the stands. yes same end result but still different

 

[BroncosFever]

What's Rhys Kennedy's contract status?

At this point in time I am watching the games thinking "yeah he fucked up there, glad he won't be with us next season"

I hope I can add Kennedy to that list, another one of Seibold's star signings

I just won’t get past that. He’s gotta go

 

[winslow_wong]

Changes for next week. Kennedy, Coates and Oates out. Bullemore, Isaako, Herbie in

I think you gotta accept Oates is going to have errors in his game. It’s how he picks himself up from it that matters. He had a good game beside from that terrible handling error.

not about throwing a tantrum. IMO some 'confusion' at the presser over some decisions ala robbo at least shows the decision makers we deserve better. Refs lije everyone are human so if we are asking legitimate questions maybe on a subconscious level we get a few more 50/50s go our way. I see that as politics not tantrums

Either there is a conspiracy, or, as others have put it, the incompetence shown by the NRL refs and officials just seems to magically fall against us 90%+ of the time.

So to clear a few things up.

It was an incorrect play the ball that stopped the play.
The challenge was for a head high on Sitili Tupouniua
Klein deemed that the play was still live because Butcher never played the ball.

The Roosters are the second most penalised team in the comp. We’re the 11th.

 

[Jayarcie]

It'll be interesting to see if the Nrl has the integrity to actually comment on that disgraceful refereeing decision and actually admit they stuffed up.

It would be a miracle just for them to apologise and punish those referees but even if they did do exactly that it wouldn't be true justice.

True justice would be the W next our teams name that we rightfully earnt. Yet we all know that can't happen.

It baffles me that trained professionals can't get the decisions right yet your average idiot at the pub knows that was the wrong decision.

Jesus Christ, the referees are needing HIAs even more than the players are. Is part of the hiring policy that all referees must have some sort of brain damage or at the very least have been dropped on their head as a child?

thats their game plan though
.we have traditionally been sclean team.

 

[nopatience101]

I will give Kevvie credit, he has them playing much better. Still don’t understand picking Coates, who I thought was once again a liability. Kennedy was dreadful, the mistakes are just far too frequent, tonight he cost us the game.

The refereeing was shambolic, the roosters were offside all night and I can’t remember getting a set restart for inside the 10. There were times Klein was actually calling out roosters players by name and despite them still being directly involved in the play he still didn’t penalise them.

If that forearm graze by Flegler is the standard for a penalty the game is finished, there are hundreds just like it throughout the whole game that go uncalled, just as this one did - until the bunker got creative… How can they justify going back to the previous play on a challenge against an incorrect PTB? That is soo far removed from what the challenge was supposed to be restricted to. To claim because the PTB wasn’t completed it’s still the same play is ridiculous. It’s a completed tackle, it’s a new PTB, the fact he’s lost it playing it doesn’t change that. Fox basically just ignored it in the post game, but I bet anything had it been the roosters on the other end of it all hell would have broken loose. Annesley probably would have held a press conference straight after the game.

The NRL has honestly never been worse, there’s soo much wrong with it atm, it’s just an absolute mess. The protection racket V’landys is getting from newscorp is impressive, it must have been one hell of a good deal he gave them on the broadcast rights extension, not that we know because he won’t disclose it.

Your honour, I have motive, opportunity and means and can prove what my defendent is alleging. If you want to argue over penalty count you've missed the entire fucking point.
