Of all teams, I reckon we get penalised the most when putting the attacking Team under pressure in their own 20. For some reason I can always sense the penalty coming but when we are under pressure coming out from our own end it is all good.Its not the amount of penalties. Its where and when the penalties are given.
You can get 4 or 5 penalties in a row because the opposition are giving them away defending their line and in the context they don't mean much at all. But your opposition gets two 5th tackle penalties while coming off their line and it makes a big difference.

Agree. I think the storm started this. Dirty, filthy Bellamy and Scam.The roosters give away penalties to reset their defensive line. It’s clearly a tactic and one that works for them.
I get more frustrated with the penalties we don’t get rather than the ones awarded against us. But as we all know, consistency is over rated.
