2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
Moderator: GH Moderators
Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
2.5 weeks has passed.. and i'd like to think emotion has turned into objective thinking in my mind.
We were hard done by that call..here is my thinking:
- Yes, "Raiders couldn't break the line after all the possession" and soo what?! holding the ball and putting constant pressure is part of the game. Just because a team doesn't break the line after however minutes of pressure doesn't actually mean anything. We earn't the ball and deserved to hold or play a proper last tackle option.
- having watched a lot of replays of the controversial call from the bomb, there is no way anyone can conclusively say that it didn't come off Tedesco - either initially or at some point. So I think the initial call was probably correct and I think any neutral league supporter would agree with the initial 6 again call. The point I'm wanting to emphasis here is I disagree with the post match assessment the final "call was correct".
- Our defense was not set-up after the '6 again' stuff up, which enabled them to do what they did and score a "run away" try. I think more time was needed to examine the situation and at least provide a forum to discuss what had happened. This would have allowed for our defense to be properly set-up.
- Raiders truly matched it with the best and probably played better than the Roosters in the GF.
All other opinions wont mean anything to me... in my mind the above points are factual and if ever required to prove them out I could by simply watching through the replays.
I am and always will be disappointed with what happened.
Good luck to the boys next year!

Jarrod Croker: Canberra Raiders won't suffer grand final hangover
Jarrod Croker says the Raiders won't let the pain of grand final defeat linger once they start preparations for 2020.
"We have to work hard and focus on what we do and try to do it a little bit better. Because at the end of the day it wasn't good enough this year - it got us to the grand final but it didn't get us a win.

Anyone who can definitively say Tedesco didn't touch that ball is kidding themselves. Even after all the slow-mo replays. There is no way the call should have been changed, even if doing so was allowed under the rules.
Annesley just tried to deflect the criticism using Trump style propaganda, hoping it would just go away.
And yeah, the decision had a huge impact on the outcome of the game. We looked every chance to crack their line, and they never should have had a chance to run the ball against our disorganised defence.
It's as bad a call as it gets.
Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
This still shows the ball hitting the side of Simmonsons neck. The only way the ball could have ended going the direction it did, would have been to contact Tedesco at the same time, or just before.
If the ball only contacted a Raiders player it would have flown out to our left wing.

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
It is hard to argue with that. I suspect the NRL deliberately went silent on the issue after the night, despite the fact that new questions kept emerging about the decision and the rules and the application of the rules for many days afterwards. Those questions have still not been addressed, nor has the NRL ever admitted that the wrong call had a serious impact on the Raiders... unlike some other weeks. Clearly, they can't afford to be "wrong" in the Grand Final... yet they were, seriously wrong.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑October 24, 2019, 3:19 pmAgree with all that.benda wrote: ↑October 23, 2019, 12:10 pm 2.5 weeks has passed.. and i'd like to think emotion has turned into objective thinking in my mind.

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
The strange (to me, at least) point about the "6 again" incident is the absolute lack of mention of the role that Sutton played in the whole fiasco. He absolutely browbeat Cummins into changing his call, an action he would have absolutely known was illegal under the laws of the game.
Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
Look. History will judge it.
I work in Singapore which seems to be a hotspot for Rorters fans- I know two. Other league fans here I know maybe count six. Two of the combined nine think the best team on the day won the GF. But split about one third each between embarrassing farce; bounce of the ball; gotta take your chances.
I'm in the bounce of the ball camp btw.
NRL will never comment on it again. Why bother.

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
They're going to get questions as soon as they open up the press conferences next year... about what on earth are they doing to fix the rules in those two circumstances. We know they're considering fixing the trainer situation... and they surely need to fix the rules about changing decisions in some way or other. Because they do it all the time, via the bunker and from "tips". If the wrong call is signalled, and there is a need to change... it can't simply be "play on" with the new call as it was in the Grand Final. What happened is outrageous.

They needed to stop play and have the bunker review it since there was a change of call. There was enough evidence to suggest the initial call was correct. I’m not upset by the fact the call may have been a mistake, I’m upset that they changed the call. Which was a **** up.

They scored the first try with repeat sets that they were extremely fortunate to have in the first place (hitting the trainer). Trainer wasn’t there we probably score. As for the second try... well.
We dominated possession and terms for 60 minutes of the game. Anyway, I could go on and on...
I sleep well at night knowing we deserved to win the game and that 6 again call robbed it from us.

Canberra Raiders on right path despite grand final loss, says Ricky Stuart
Ricky Stuart is still hurting from the Canberra Raiders’ controversial grand final loss to the Sydney Roosters and has called on the NRL to fix its refereeing mess. Stuart is not at all dirty on referee Ben Cummins but is critical of the NRL and wants an overhaul.
“I honestly felt sorry for Ben Cummins,” he said. “He didn’t go out there to make an error. It’s the process and structure around our referees that’s wrong. We need to have more faith and trust in the head referee. There is too much technology interfering with them and the decision-making process.

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
I really don't like Ben Cummins as a referee. In the past he has been completely disrespectful of our team on the field, and in the way he speaks to our captain. At times he honestly seems biased against us, like no other ref...although that is subsiding IMO.
However, I certainly don't think he went out to purposely screw us over with that call. He clearly got caught up in the moment and probably had the pocket ref screaming at him to change the decision. I am pissed off that he denied the situation - but that just made him look like a twat.
Stuart has shown a lot of class in this situation. Blaming Cummins does nothing to fix the underlying issues, nor does it change the result of the game.

Look away Canberra Raiders fans, NRL admits the Roosters were robbed – three times
On the Wednesday after the 2019 Grand Final, Roosters coach Trent Robinson hit referees boss Bernard Sutton with a list of half a dozen incidents in the game that he felt the referees got wrong.
There were three key admissions from the NRL that show the Roosters also got the rough end of the stick. First, Sutton admitted Cooper Cronk's sin binning was "harsh", a six again call before the Raiders only try was "wrong", and the Roosters should have received a penalty when Sia Soliola charged down Luke Keary, which led to #Trainergate.

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
So where is the official statement from the Graham Annesley which "admits" these things? Sounds like this has been "leaked" by the Roosters in an attempt to re-write history.
Even if Sutton has said these things, and in the way reported, I am certain the first and third claim is wrong... and I'd want to look at the second again.
Not to mention the fact that Annesley's pronouncement that the referees were right to reverse #SixAgain was also wrong.

Roosters are carrying a lot of angst about the public reaction to their win. Quite indignant that the general rugby league community are not embracing it. This is a PR exercise attempting to reverse it. Won't work.

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
I have seen it reported that the third incident is about Sia taking out the legs of the kicker, Keary, while he was in the aiir
2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
1. When did a successful charge down suddenly become taking out the kickers legs? This interpretation will remove chargedowns from the game. Once the charge down has been successfully affected the Raiders are the attacking team who last possessed of the ball. If the ball had gone into touch would the Raiders deemed not to be the last team who touched it? So now players can’t successfully make a play at the ball? This is outrageous.
2. If the refs boss thinks Cronk ‘didn’t tackle Papalli early’ and just metres out from the line it just makes the Refs look more dodgy in thinking they were thinking the Roosters need to get the close decisions.
It’s reports like this that makes the new NRL boss look more correct about his call on fixing the referees. Annesley has tied himself in knots trying to claim the 6 again call wasn’t wrong “when the rules say in black and white” it was wrong.

How can you complain about a wrong decision (which actually is probably the right decision), which then got overturned for you so there was no adverse impact?!

There is not a single quote in that story from Weidler. It is clear it has come from the Roosters. But not a single quote from Trent Robinson or Bernard Sutton, the people who had the conversation. So why not? If the NRL actually had decided this, wouldn't Graham Annesley have made a statement to this effect? But nothing.

Probably would have before that Roosters PR piece was published.
Must say it's a somewhat ironic call given your almost legendary status of stringing out gameday threads this year.

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
Yep, seems like a desperate attempt to try and legitimise the Roosters GF win which the majority of the non-Roosters rugby league community felt was at best fortuitous if not undeserved. All the Roosters had to do was acknowledge that they were lucky to win, after all it wasn't their fault, and there would have been very minimal public and media backlash on them, as the spotlight and scrutiny would be entirely on the referee and the NRL. To try and play the victim card and argue that they were robbed just screams insecurity. Trent Robinson is a twat if he really did "hit Sutton with a list of half a dozen incidents in the game that he felt the referees got wrong" 3 days after the GF.Northern Raider wrote: ↑November 3, 2019, 1:29 pm Roosters are carrying a lot of angst about the public reaction to their win.
