They were believers in rules and laws. Each little thing was made into a law, and there were hundreds of rules. This is a false belief of deeds being sufficient to save someone. To say they were pro-Roman would probably be true as far as the Romans protected their worship and their ways. To say that they hated the Romans even more would also be true. For the Romans to them were the worst type of unbeliever. Jesus talks about Pharisses thruout the Gospels, it is all there for you to see.

we know that both groups hated jesus. the romans hated that he was claiming to be the king of kings, such claims were met with hostility because his ministry was so huge he posed a possible threat to the roman empire. the pharisees hated him because the new covenant he made with man contradicted the laws of moses and they failed to see his ultimate sacrifice as the repealing authority of those laws.
I would say the pharisees were anti-roman, but when both groups ultimately have the same goal it is easy to corroborate with the enemy.

The Pharisees were anti-Roman but realized that they could do nothing about their ruling presence in Israel, and so they co-operated with them to keep the peace.

Pharisees were ultimately good at looking at their wallet's interests. Same old story. You can get an easy glimpse of that even today.
