Wild NRL history in utter finals madness (NEWS.com.au)

The Roosters and Rabbitohs played out one of the wildest NRL finals in history in a game which has seen a bizarre all-time record set.

Cooper Cronk said he believed there were probably two bins wrong in the game but that it was "a great game". But it was the sin bin count in the spiteful clash which is bound to dominate the week. Michael Ennis said he believed the first sin bin was a "love tap". But it was just the beginning as there were record seven sin bins - there had never been more than five in a match previously - which included five tries scored by the team with the man disadvantage and five HIAs with three failures in just the craziest match. Fox Sports' Matt Russell said it was "the most remarkable game I've been sideline at". The bitter rivalry between the teams was obvious from the opening minutes when Victor Radley was sin binned for a punch that was laughed off as little more than a push by the commentators.

the journalist prodded. "No, just in general," the reporter confirmed. "In the game, though, with Souths?" "I'll ask you to have a look, and (I) say (to you), 'Where did we do that?'.

"Do you see it as a problem today and do you see it as a problem for the rest of the finals?" "Are you saying on the Roosters side that —," Robinson said.

He didn’t send (Burgess) to the bin for ruling the best player of the game out. “He (the referee) done nothing. [And it was that exact moment that rugby league great Laurie Daley believes “set the standard” for the rest of the game.](https://www.foxsports.com.au/newsletter-sign-up?utm_source=NRLArticle&utm_medium=TextLink&utm_campaign=signup) “For me, the bigger issue is that we have created a rod for our own back in terms of what’s a sin bin and what’s not a sin bin,” he added. “There were incidents in that game where we thought why are they penalised for that and why are they being sin binned for that.” “Yet we had people that were rubbing someone on the face and what Victor Radley did early he got 10 minutes in the bin for — why didn’t Burgess get 10 for that one? He knocked him out, he didn’t pass his concussion test,” he said on Big Sports Breakfast. Rothfield also revealed that he spoke to the NRL’s head of football Graham Annesley, who gave Klein “a rap” for his refereeing and said “it took a referee as strong as Klein to remove seven players from the field.” “How in the hell has rugby league descended into such a state that the Sydney Roosters’ Victor Radley can be sin binned for a so-called punch on South Sydney’s Taane Milne when the replay shows it is nothing more than a shove and a bit of a wrestle?
