Really disappointed with the Raiders performance.
Didn’t expect such low quality from this side. Wighton and Whitehead, the leadership, were abysmal.

Tom B., when the rest had hands on knees and looking at their toes he went looking for it. Prop of the round so far.

Souths were better everywhere.
Tass, CG with one eye, and AJ, for me, as a World Cup potential, far too under rated.

You were asked to cite ONE, just ONE exact situation where the advantage was denied.
What precedent ?

'So many poor decisions': Robinson takes aim at refs after Roosters lose to Penrith

NOTES
Advantages 1. The advantages to the non-offending team must
be readily obvious if the Referee is to allow play to
proceed. Allowing play to proceed does not mean
that the offending player cannot subsequently
be disciplined.

That’s the rule book, that’s the justification.

When was the last time you actually saw that exact situation where the referee denied the attacking side the right of scoring by halting and awarding an immediate penalty ?

Yeah, but it was hardly something the Roosters should be complaining about.

The player committed a clear professional foul by grabbing a player out of the play.

Nothing came from Penrith being given their advantage as rule book stated…why the wail ?

Frigg the AFL.

Don’t think Penrith ever had anything to worry about during that game.

Easts played so well, but the Panthers always seemed to have another gear to call on if required.

Sitili to the centers didn’t work, Suaali wasn’t the factor he should have been.. return him next to Manu and put Kevin N. on the wing.

4 losses in a row and Robbo takes the bait in the presser and passes blame to the referee.
Nah, 2 convincing losses in a month and Penrith were off last night, says your side is a long way off.

API’s ‘ not very good anymore’ is a big call.

Similar to Cook in craftiness, but a real stinger in defence opposed to Cookie’s grab,
hold and slow.

Blues needed that, and he and the Jurbo hits were telling in victory.

He’s a team player, still the tear away NSW hooker leader for linebreak assists and try assists(Reece not in top 50 for either).

Reece has scored more, but they’re generally just an individual shot from dummy half.

Round 16 Questions: Broncos’ big gamble? Burton biggest boot ever? Give nod to Noddy? Papa on downhill slide?

The running meters for Papa include a 26m when taken off early and a 45m against Manly when not right so give a false picture of his form and contribution.

The last 2 months he’s been as good as he’s ever been almost working in tandem with Tapine in taking it up and ripping in with all his usual vigour.

Why Billy uses him so sparingly is frustratingly mystifying, no Blues prop is going as well as him in clubland.

At the time it happened, Val was a huge loss for the club ( not sure if he qualifies) .

Most of the guys you mention were nudged out by new blood coming thru, but he basically did a SBW out the bathroom window on the club during the pre season.

If you’re not drawing the line on character , Greg Bird plays before Peachey.

He was off for a tick over 8 minutes (fudged) the entire team rested at 1/2 time, yet the poor little darlings were exhausted from all that tackling that they’ve been trained for over the last 8 months.

Gagai was the chief culprit, a center, and Nanai, barely been on, Hunt in the middle,stepped around, ditto Ponga, both common occurences.

You’ve got Pap and Tino on the pine jumping out of their skins, Felise recharged, Harry can do 80 on his ear.

Too tired, couldn’t pick their feet up.

Refs fault.

It’s negligence of duty for any coach to not have private counsel with the referees prior to a game of this magnitude.

They rarely listen anyway.

Whispering Wayne tried to get them to move Penriths blockers, just didn’t happen.

Billy would’ve asked for the same thing… usual response ‘ I’ll keep an eye out for you,’… ha.

Never heard those women who were asking that in pressers before.

He messed up twice, the forward pass to Junior and the missed tackle on KP.
Yet KP seen as one of Qlds best, also messed up significantly twice.
He missed 2 one on ones which ended in both of Nathan Cleary’s tries.

Why does Jack have to come back in ?
He was best of a very poor bunch in game 1.
This team just put nigh on 50 on the 2nd best team in the country.

Unfortunate, but not uncommon.

Yeah, poor old Ash had a shocker missed 54 tackles, zero 40/20’s, pizzly line breaks, should’ve covered that kick on the inside that was 6 for Burton, and the 3 tries from the halfs when they walked thru the middle of the ruck.. the kick off, getting himself stripped twice.. shocker.

The rest of the side was outstanding.

Speed of the game seems to have left Damian Cook a little behind.

Too often can’t make it back to dummy half for the first 2 or 3 tackles after a kick field.

Can expect him to throw a long wild pass behind Cleary when in the attacking zone at least once during the game.

Api’s simply a harder, fitter player at this level.

Agree with the sentiment here.

It’s only opinion and we all have one but I thought the Kiwis 7, 6, 10, 12 and 13 all made more valuable contributions than Joey who got 400 meters with Jack coming from it on the scoreboard.

31 runs he had with a pass ratio of less than 1/2.. 7 one out runs from dummy half, one on the 5th tackle after a break with the line set, kicking into the in goal for himself, going at the line too many times without feeding supports.. he’s got to be more selfless than that.

It was a long way away from what a lot of reporters are terming the cliche-ic ‘masterclass’.
