We did not deserve it after our first 45 minutes.

At least the message that playing for 80 keeps you in games will still be there.

Wow. So close, yet so very far. Was a brave comeback but we fell short.

Another 5 minutes on the clock and we win that one.

That wasn't pretty.

Let's get back home, reassess and focus on the Bunnies.

Okay, no, I need an answer. A voluntary tackle is still a penalty, right? So we should have had two of those in the last couple of minutes.

Cotric needs some passing practice this week. Looks like he can’t pass to his right.

That Croker “played at” call sums up the performance from the refs today.

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

That was really, really, unforgivably bad from Cotric.

All he had to do was throw a normal pass back inside and we’re going to golden point.

It was a bad decision by Cotric but i am not going to be slitting my wrists over it.

I think realistically we just didn't defend good enough. That is where the questions should be asked. We leaked tons of soft tries.

Still we are miles off the top teams imo

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?

So did we improve our discipline in the second half or had the refs met quota?

Yes that one hurt. Feels like we were destined to equalise

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.

I believe it's a penalty but could be mistaken

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.

We were lucky to get that close.

They killed us in the first 40.

Cotric was a non factor until he had that brain fart at the end. Really disappointing.

CNK was immense.

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.

We lacked discipline.

Secure the ball. Cut out the awful penalties. And we win.

But **** me Nick, learn to pass to your right. Any chance of you playing origin this year just evaporated.

I’d consider dropping Lui if we have the troops honestly.

Also gee Simonsson hasn’t done a thing wrong yet. I’m a bit excited by him tbh because he obviously has the flare when he gets the opportunity

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.
