Paul Gallen was left stunned that Knights gun Greg Marzhew did not end up in the sin bin against the Raiders after he was penalised for dangerous contact on Raiders star Kaeo Weekes on Sunday.

A bomb was put up to test Weekes midway through the second half, but the Canberra fullback was not fazed by the play and collected the ball in the air.

It was not a smooth landing after taking the catch for his team, though, with Marzhew running in and collecting his legs while he was still in flight.

"He is looking at the ball the whole time. It is a penalty," Slater said on Nine.

You have to go back 30 years to the last time the Roosters had a 'perfect' game, failing to give away a penalty.

And the game in which they did it ended up changing the rules of rugby league.

The year was 1996 and the Roosters were up against the Broncos at the old Sydney Football Stadium.

The loss on Thursday night was the final nail in Anthony Seibold's coffin and the luckless coach will lament that referee Wyatt Raymond didn't give the home side a single penalty in 80 minutes.

Fiery Raiders prop Corey Horsburgh added another sin bin to his career tally in the first four minutes against the Sharks at GIO Stadium.

Early in the match, the Sharks received a penalty before Nicho Hynes took a quick tap with Horsburgh dropping him on his back despite not making it back 10 metres.

Sharks and Raiders players then came together in a melee but referee Grant Atkins didn't hesitate and immediately sent Horsburgh to the bin.

The absence of Horsburgh helped the Sharks go to a 12-0 lead with tries to Teig Wilton and KL Iro.
