However, he believed Savala should have been awarded a penalty after it appeared Dylan Edwards collided with the back of his neck.<\/p>\n
\u201cA double movement, definitely, but there were high shots from people falling constantly,\u201d Robinson said post-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got hit and crushed it on the back of the neck. I don\u2019t understand that one. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe double movement definitely – his arm hit and then he did reach out. But contact to the head in that position. There were quite a few against us for that reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robinson was particularly perplexed by the Bunker\u2019s ruling that it was an \u201cincidental crusher\u201d tackle.<\/p>\n
This saw him question the interpretation of the precarious decision.<\/p>\n
Ivan: ‘God no, of course not’ | 08:47<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never heard incidental crusher is still a crusher. That\u2019s not words that I\u2019ve heard,\u201d Robinson added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think incidental contact but that doesn\u2019t matter if you crusher someone.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Roosters coach also made it clear he was unhappy with a number of other decisions made by the officials throughout Sunday\u2019s clash.<\/p>\n
This included several high shots on Roosters players, a tackle on Billy Smith, and two other \u201csliding\u201d incidents he deemed his side should have been awarded penalties for.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the one on Jenkins on Billy\u2019s [Billy Smith] knee that didn\u2019t hit and then we had two sliding ones,\u201d Robinson added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think in the context of the game, I think that was a penalty in front.\u201d<\/p>\n
Panthers overcome double Cleary scare | 02:22<\/p>\n
Speaking about the Tricolours\u2019 performance, he praised their ability to go toe-to-toe with the premiership favourite. <\/p>\n
\u201cI thought we were outstanding. I thought we gave probably just a little bit more possessions,\u201d Robinson added. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think the last plays were pretty clean on their sets and we probably had two to three errors sort of on the end of sets and then there was a few penalties there for high tackles that gave them field position.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sort of swung it in their favour and we had to defend it. We did, 12-all for that second half, and then it was, are you going to execute?<\/p>\n
However, he felt they lacked the execution, especially when Nathan Cleary was sent to the sin bin.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys will go to the bin and if you think that\u2019s an automatic score then you haven\u2019t been watching footy over the last couple of weeks,\u201d Robinson added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about emptying the tank. Taking opportunities if you can get it (and) get into those positions but it\u2019s not an automatic try if someone goes off.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we missed our execution of moments at different time and that\u2019s about as much as the tail of that game there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cleary admits to ‘super stupid decision’ | 02:53<\/p>\n
The Roosters coach also failed to blame veteran halfback Daly Cherry-Evans after he missed a field goal in the final few minutes, which would have taken the contest to extra time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had other moments as well,\u201d Robinson continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cDaly\u2019s iced many. He\u2019s iced them for us and he will ice them again in the next few weeks. I\u2019ve got no problem with that. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not on a field goal. There were other opportunities there for us as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trent Robinson has taken aim at several refereeing decisions after the Roosters found themselves at the wrong end…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":890648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,85,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-890647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=890647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/890648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=890647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=890647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=890647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
