It wasn't THAT bad of a call. I'd give it a try simply because he'd already awarded it try and there' no way that was conclusive. But in my opinion Chambers definitely wasn't going for the ball at the end and did have intentions of bumping him off the ball, none of the replays besides the one they showed after the awarding gave any real indication of that though.
I don't even like Melbourne :/ He was going for the ball until he hit Goodwin, At which point he couldn't really go anywhere. It was a contest for the ball, there was nothing wrong with it.
Does anyone else get the feeling that news.com.au would have written "Storm Warning" on their page no matter what the score had been at half time?
Souths completing at 89%. Very impressive first up finals effort. I don't know that there's any side that can beat them when they complete at that rate.
This has done my head in. Sisa Waqa scores a blatant try in the first half, Shane Hayne decides it was more likely a no try and the video ref doesn't overrule. Billy Slater scores a blatant try in the second half, the referee calls it a try and the video ref overrules because he believed 'Chambers wasn't going for the ball'. What the fuck was he going for then dip shit? From a midfield bomb, Will Chambers crunches a bloke and takes him in goal. Gets called a penalty because he pushed a bloke trying to obstruct him out of the way. Slater gets crunched off the ball by Burgess when Melbourne made a break, Hoffman ends up over the side line (about 5 seconds after he was tackled) and they don't do shit. This game was dead set fixed.
. You can't really complain too much IMO. For one thing, Melbourne played like shit for the first 50 minutes.
Well I can, because it completely fucked the game. If we received a fair shake of the sauce bottle, would we have won anyway? Highly likely.
I don't think you would've. For one thing, you made more than twice as many errors as the opposition. It's pretty rare to win big games when you do that.
Lol what's there to counter? Because Easts didn't go through the season undefeated? I suppose that does deserve some criticism, a team as good as they are should have maybe won every single match of the season.
You're not very bright are you... I'm alluding to the same absolutist talk you made before the Titans match and the Sharks match. In fact you even spoke in such terms about Souths's chances against Melbourne.
I didn't expect them to go undefeated, but before every single game I obviously expect them to win. I'm sure you thought the Titans were going to beat the Roosters, lol. I guess Souths are horrible for getting absolutely thrashed by the Cowboys as well, Melbourne for getting dominated by Manly, Manly for getting embarrassed by Penrith. But let's not mention those. Let's mention all of the Roosters failings all season and ignore everybody elses. Well that's what you did, and look what happened. Too busy focusing on the weaknesses in the Roosters side that you missed out on the fact that most of the other teams are fairly shit. And I still think Melbourne are better than Souths, they played horrible tonight, well below what they're capable of.
It's a misleading statistic - the majority of our errors were in the first 20 minutes, and that also includes dud calls (Chambers no try, Chambers obstruction, Hoffy being taken out etc). South Sydney scored 1 more try than us. We were rorted for two, and Souths scored off the back of one of those.
No. But I didn't come on and say what you said. Nor did I come on and say what you said before the Sharks game. Roosters by how much......etc. as if it's a foregone conclusion. To say that about the Sharks at home is lolworthy. I'm not picking on Easts, you fucking cry baby. Try to keep up. I'm talking about your gross presumption. lol, and Souths played horrible last week and were a few moments of retardation away from inverting that 24-12 scoreline.
Yes but what difference does it make whether you made a majority of them in the first 20 or not? I mean you made more errors in the second 40 than the first. Your completion rate was lower in the second half.
