They're not being consistent. The Roosters are getting caned, but the Rabbitohs are getting away with exactly the same thing.
I appreciate it's difficult for you to understand but the Roosters and the Storm are the 2 best cheats in the competition.

The refs wanted to stamp out this type of play, but they didn’t know how to properly officiate it and they stuffed up the opportunity to improve the game of rugby league.
Totally agree. The game was on the right trajectory early in the season.

And the Roosters have taken the Rabbitohs over the sideline on the first tackle! That's amazing.

44,380 is the crowd.

Late tackle on Cooper Cronk and the Roosters go for penalty goal... and they miss it from very kickable position.

Roosters 8-4

11 mins to go.

What a yawn of a season. All we learnt this year was the cap still doesn't work.

I guess we at least learnt it doesn't have to be that way during the crackdown.

Thoughts on if Jake Friend will be suspended for the dangerous throw?
