Fifita signing coup an extra feather in the cap as Roosters reopen premiership window
The Roosters look good statistically in 2024 and with David Fifita arriving in 2025, they could be real contenders for the premiership.
After watching the first round of the NRL, I noted the performance of the referees. While some were good, some were bad.
The Roosters got away with holding on to jerseys all game. Despite the referees continually telling them to let go, they persisted all game and were not penalised until Isaac Luke blew up.
They were the only team to do this out of the other 15 teams.
There were five occasions that the defenders were taken out under the high ball: the attackers going for the ball early, missing it, then dragging the defender to the ground before they even have the ball.
No penalties.
All we need now is contested scrums, and that will keep the forwards in the scrum and open up the backline plays.
Let’s hope the Referee’s Review Panel look at some of these aspects to make the game fairer for all.
