Oh Cotric you have bombed it. Incredible
Edrick Lee moment from Cotric
Not disputing Cotric’s passing ability, however looking back at the reply CNK had Croker unmarked on the inside. Tough game, refs screwed us all day.....great effort to get back in it really

They never enforce the voluntary tackle. Looked like Crichton just played the ball without being touched
I assume the referee called held, but assuming he didnt, Mr Milk our resident official...
that's an interesting question, if he didnt get touched and plays the ball, what's the call? Play on? knock on for a loose ball?
Don’t lose any credibility out of that one. Little hard to get a strong read on where we sit given both teams disrupted by injuries. Easts were torching us early at full strength but we hung tough and played 80 mins. Our injuries are not helping going forward but a lot to like. Many things we need to tidy up around discipline and ball control and middle defence but all things we can fix. I’m not too upset about that.

So did we improve our discipline in the second half or had the refs met quota?
definitely the quota.
Also they subbed out the officials that hate us and want us to lose, for good competent officials RIGHT at the same time we started to pick our **** act up and start playing to the level we have most of the year. Incredible scenes really, you wouldnt dream about it
Roosters should have put on a cricket score, they looked threatening at every shift. Our edge defence was putrid, Croker showed why he never will be picked for origin.
In saying that the lineup was unsettled, the team fought all the way to the end and were unlucky not to get the points.
I would expect with a our full squad back that we are a fighting chance come semi's.

Piss poor refereeing at the start of the game, no excuse to perform that badly though.
What the **** is our fascination with kicking the ball early in the sets? I don't want to watch that game again, but it must have been near 10 times!?! Drives me crazy. Organise the team and run some shape ****.
Sam Williams marking air and Jarrod Croker also defensively weak today.

I'm glad to know that smashing the ball into Croker's back is played at. I'm sure that will be consistently called all season from here and will never work against us ever again.
