Canberra have a fantastic record against St George (great in Canberra & Kogarah, okay in Wollongong). I'm sure the Dragons would much prefer Wests, although they'll say publicly that they don't care who they play, of course.Quote:

Two weeks in arow the Roosters have been disgusting in the play the ball, and gotten away with it, yet the few times tigers or panthers players did the same they got penalised. I dont understand how the refs were going off at Petero to get his team under control on Saturday night when it was the roosters who were playing dirty.
And that Waragreava Hargraves is a disgrace, he is the last man in on every tackle (usually from on offside marker position) just ramming his shoulders into the back of the oppositions head and neck when they are already falling to the ground. It's cheap, nasty and should have seen him sin binned (saw him do it three tackles in a row, twice, all from on offside marker position.
Anytime the Roosters have looked in trouble, the refs have intervened this finals series to give them soft penalities to save their bacon.
dont forget the free tries the get to... how they could even award that last try to the roosters is beyond me, there was plenty of evidence that showed he never ground the ball untill the dead ball line.. and the oodles of daylight...Quote:

I know, it is not, nor has it ever been an officials place to say anything like that to a player, if a player wants to punch on with someone twice thier size, you let them, then penalise them for it.Quote:

I wonder how the Titans will be robbed, and for how much longer the media will pretend not to notice what is going on in the roosters games.
Sam Perritts try on Saturday night proves to me that the Roosters are being groomed as the premiers (as if the Dally M results weren't enough of a give away). I'd really love to see them blow it by losing against the Titans with the refs not being able to do anything about it.
