That goose (the rorters trainer) is typical of these clowns, how was any of that funny? Oh well, this typifies what we have in the nrl as things wont get better! Greenberg and Annesley should be sacked and there should be a serious review of all the nrl officials as the nrl is becoming a satirical joke!
The Clive Churchill medal (with all due respect to the Little Master) may have well been awarded to either Gerard Sutton, Ben Cummins or the roosters trainor as all 3 played a big part in the roosters win.
That's correct, the easts trainor clearly saw the ball coming, it didn't hit him blindly and then he deliberately pushed the ball away. Most people would have ducked or stepped away, not the roosters 14th man, he made a play at it, then the roosters 15th man on the field Cummins made sure easts kept the advantage bt awarding them a scrum, go figure.
Watch it again. Soliola attacked the kicker’s legs. This clearly should have been a penalty to Easts. It astonishes me what the commentators miss, this was one of their crusades a few years ago. In this instance the Roosters were dudded and everyone banging on about the trainer is missing the point... but didn’t the trainers-loitering-on-the-field issue get sorted out years ago? Not for the on-field refs to police, can’t the bunker monitor and tell them to get off?
It WASN'T a falcon. He got his hands up and intentionally handled (i.e. knocked down) the ball. He saw that Whitehead was the ONLY player in the vicinity and the ball was going deep into the Roosters territory with Whitehead as the only chaser. It was deliberate. That's why he laughed.
What a joke, undoubtedly cost the Raiders a try - what;s more tragic is how the heck did the roosters get a scrum feed from that?
Also disgraceful 6 again call / no call - it cost the Raiders the GF. Raiders had all the momentum with another six tackles within the roosters 10m line and 8 minutes to go. Of course, the NRL wanted the roosters to win, a rort.
it wasn't just him loitering in the ruck. there was another trainer in blue too. then Tedesco knocked on and the 6 to go was reversed. The Raiders were robbed.

Did Keary trip Wighton after the 6 more tackle signalled?

Need a rule change for something that will only happen in a Raiders game and potentially cost them an early lead.
