Bennett summed up what everyone could see from the beginning what the dogs tactics were.
The dogs took the chance on the refs turning a blind eye to it and it almost worked.
If the refs acted on it from the start like they did against dogs v dragons the week before then every chance Souths could have easily put 40+ on them in a canter.
I suspect it will be a major topic of discussion in the refs meetings before R7.
Roosters and Storm confirm their favouritism, while the Bulldogs remain a mystery
Bellamy is to blame for Storm’s tactics in the 1st half by trying to play his backs against an 8M rooster back 7.
When the penny dropped he took a leaf out of the Rabbitohs book and the way back was to bash the rooster forwards and when that happened the roosters collapsed but at 20 all the roosters needed a miracle and it happened.
In R1 Souths smashed the rooster forwards from the start which included a rooster full strength team and gave the roosters a lesson on forward domination.
There are 3-4 teams in the NRL that have the forward pack to dominate the rooster forwards. Souths and Storm are 2 of them.

Storm have a very big obstacle to overcome tonight.
For some very intriguing reason, the appointed ref Ashley Klein has an amazing statistic when reffing the roosters.
His style of reffing somehow suits the roosters enormously.
I support my argument with the following facts;
Qual Final v Souths Ashley Klein (WIN) look at 50/50 calls and 10mtr bias to roosters, forward passes by Jake Friend from dummy half in front of Klein missed?
GF 2018 v Storm Ashley Klein (WIN) look at 50/50 calls and 10 mtr bias to roosters at crucial stages, 3 forward passes form Friend at dummy half missed?
R1 2019 v Souths NO Ashley Klein (LOSS) Roosters were very confident of win R1. No need for Klein.
R4 2019 v Broncos Ashley Klein (WIN) Two crucial moments Klein lets go. 1. Ball played at by rooster with no tackle recount for broncos and
2.No video reply of Mitcell taking out defender Isaako in rooster try whilst arms up in the air but only looking at Isaako to take him out. Klein points straight to try despite all the activity leading to the decision. Dismayed at no video review which commentators stated would have overturned decision for sure.
We now come to today.
R6 2019 Roosters v Storm. ref Ashley Klein. My prediction;
1.Look for 50/50 calls going Roosters way and penalties in key moments to Roosters.
2.Watch carefully the 10mtrs difference offered to both sides
3.Look for offside plays to go on in key moments.
Based on Ashley Kleins style of reffing suiting the roosters a roosters win is very much on the cards.
Storm are up against it and will have to overcome some big obstacles to win this.
Rooster Cooper's dagger into the heart of Melbourne
Fact is there is no junior base and who are 15 of 21 playing now in NRL have never played 1st grade for another club?
Sydney Roosters are the NRL benchmark, but why?
Ashley Klein appointed ref.
Roosters home.
Craig Bellamy fires back at the Roosters over 'condescending' comments
Going by career stats and achievements if Mal Meninga is an immortal then GI is an obvious inclusion.
Should Greg Inglis be made an Immortal?
More impressive than Mitchell at same stage in careers by a mile.

2 premierships and 2nd worst membership for Sydney based NRL clubs.
What does it tell you about people’s attitude about this organisation?
Greg Inglis announces immediate retirement from NRL
Not bad for a club with 15000 more members.

Ashley Klein is a big leg up for the roosters.
For some reason his refereeing suits their style of play.
Maybe the roosters have done their homework on the areas that Stein rules and doesn’t rule on.

Ashley Klein to ref.
His reffing suits their game like semi and gf last year.
Roosters win tonight.

How can the Roosters fill up seats if the majority of supporters in the Eastern Suburbs are Souths supporters?
SOLUTION- Build them a stadium with 3000 seats and there’s your answer.
Now, having no junior development program is the other big problem.
Relocating the Roosters is a no brainer if common sense is applied by the NRL.
A 25 year lease on Allianz is of no relevance. Souths can take over the lease and business as usual.
Just make sure the car park is big enough to handle the massive increase in crowd attendance when Souths are playing.
Dear NRL fans: Use it or lose it
If Nick Politis says dismal membership and no junior development program is of no relevance then dismal membership and no junior development is irrelevant Full STOP.
The Sydney Roosters are the most logical team for relocation
You are right. Why punish 21 Premierships, 30000 members and one of the strongest junior development programs in the NRL?
How does your club stack up next to that? LOL
The Sydney Roosters are the most logical team for relocation
Souths would simply takeover the SCG Trust contract and problem solved.

Might explain why Rooster membership is so dismal.
Nothing left after blowing it all on the pokies.
Bye the way, are you ridiculing the salvation Army?

That was 15,400 Souths supporters (3000 more than the entire Roosters membership) and a few hundred remaining Cowboy supporters.

The NSW Govt only needs to make it a 5000 seater.
Would well accommodate the Rooster supporters and seats left over.
But the again always more Souths supporters at Rooster home games when v Souths these days.
Ok make it a 30000 seater.

Totally agree with your observation of Nick Politis’s comments.
Couldn’t help thinking something cagey about it all to soften what might otherwise might be going behind closed doors as a member of the NRL Committee Panel.
Would Nick Politis like to see Souths relocated?
I would put my house on it.

How about the Rabbits take over the poorly run Roosters territory and rebuild rugby league in that area that the Roosters succumbed at the hands of AFL and soccer?
Wouldn’t take much to improve on the current dismal efforts the Roosters are showing.
They have totally destroyed all junior development in their area and needs to be reignited.
Adding to that there are more Souths supporters living in the Roosters territory than Rooster supporters if you recall the backlash when the Roosters tried to claim Coogee in their boundary through a vote and were left embarrassed by the exercise.
The Roosters have overstayed their presence in Sydney and time to move on.
The sooner the better.

BA Sports,
The problem with your argument is that if Souths were to relocate and the Roosters take over their territory it would spell the end of rugby league from Watson’s Bay to La Perouse.
The majority of the Rabbitoh supporters will walk away from the game and the NRL will be in tatters.
Poor membership and no juniors are by far the most obvious criteria for club relocation.
Of course making financial status the main reasoning for relocation the prime criteria suits the Roosters when you have their Chairman sitting on the NRL Committee Panel.
I can also say with confidence if the Roosters were to relocate there would be very little resistance in the area given their dismal following unlike the 300,000 that marched the streets of Sydney when Souths were kicked out.
No one will forget the impact and the outcome that created.
If the NRL want to continue watching rugby league deteriorate between Watson’s Bay and Clovelly at the hands of AFL and soccer then turn a blind eye to the facts and continue to lose it’s already diminished credibility amongst the NRL community.

I presume you mean 2 wins after 2 games.
Yes, it feels different to what he’s experienced before.
