That NAS/Collins incident got me thinking.
I reckon if a player is ruled out of a game with a Cat 1 HIA after foul play where the offender is placed on report, the offender's night should be over too. If there's a sin bin, once the 10 minutes have expired, the player doesn't come back but his team stays with 13 on the field (as opposed to the situation for a straight send off).
I despise equally both Storm and Roosters, but the Roosters were really at a disadvantage from the first minute.

And of course NAS will probably be fined $10 and allowed to play in the GF.

Surely Trent Robinson is under pressure, his record against the top 2 teams is absolutely embarrassing for such a good squad.

Well, Robbo had a few perfect excuses for yesterday's loss. Lost starting prop in the first 10 seconds, played without half of his starting spine, and on a 6-day turnaround.
Winning would have been a miracle.
I doubt the media will/would say anything.
As for his recent records against Penrith and Melbourne, winning and losing streaks do happen... and quite frankly, I'm happy if the Roosters lose.
But one can probably say that the Roosters usually get a favorable treatment from the media anyway.

I think I saw 3 finals win since 19?

Be interesting to see how they go next year with Walker injured to start and a stack of player losses.

Not sure he's under pressure yet.
