2020 Rd 17 V Roosters: Game Day

[radicalraider]

Why didn't we hold em down for longer after valemi error for their first try.. lack of experience I guess

[Ilanraiders]

Williams kicking on the 1st or 2nd tackle with noone ready to chase was a disaster. We are not using our brains in the red zone. Jack making his usual mistake of not finding touch which ultimately lead to a Chooks try.

We need to b asking better questions with players either running back inside or have a rail runner, it will freeze up the defence which is sliding pretty fast
Jack had a forgettable first 25-30mins. Was excellent after that.

Lui was great in his stint. Little worried that he and Sutton will try to be to flash with their shirt passes to each othet.

Good officiating overall. Finals game.

[Green Taipan]

Rapana looks fresh. fast and enthusiastic. Best performance this year!

[afgtnk]

57% possession in our favour and down 4 points is not good.

Shades of the grand final.

I think we should be taking any points on offer to us. Thinking we're going to score with a set of six a couple minutes out from the break is arrogant against this lot IMO

[Azza]

I hope we can pull this one out of the fire

[Groundskeeer Willie]

Jack and Croker really lifted their games. Cotric has done nothing. Forwards were magnificent. Semi is lost. We should be ahead with the opportunities and possession and it reminds me a bit of last year's GF when we were on top but couldn't get over the line. But after the gift 6 points start I would take that as we are right in this. We need to score first though.

I've literally seen cotric touch the ball ONCE all game.

[Dr Zaius]

Rapana looks fresh. fast and enthusiastic. Best performance this year!

Starting to get some fitness back?

[LastRaider]

I thought CNK looked sharp tonight. He has got his zip back

[GreenMachine]

I’d we let Tedesco play the same in the second half the game will be over very quick.
We must put him down quicker.

Agree.
There was a gift 2 points on offer we should have taken.

[Groundskeeer Willie]

That was hands down the best half of footy for the entire season, Out of any teams. What a contest, and we are up to our eyeballs!!!!!

I am also a Jack wighton and a Josh papalii try away from bagging a 50k same game multi.

Anytime try scorers:
Wighton
Papalii
Tupou
Tedesco
Bateman

Combined with Raiders 1-12. Looking goooood, Have picked every try scorer so far!

I will be cheering when either touch the ball in attacking 20m line....

Thanks Mate, I've got everything crossed!!!! Jack looked so likely to end that 2nd half. And you just know that papa is gonna come off the bench and score the match winner

[radicalraider]

Score first or we lose

[The Greenhouse]

Raiders kick off to start the second half.

[afgtnk]

I've seen Cotric do nothing all night

[Motiv8dan]

Cotric good return Ball....and we are getting the set restarts tonight...

[Roger Kenworthy]

Dumb dumb dumb.

[afgtnk]

Stop overcooking it please Tom. Really needed to give it to George there

[The Greenhouse]

43rd min PENALTY ROOSTERS Second effort puts the Roosters back into their in goal.

[Green Taipan]

How was it a disaster. He forced a repeat set for **** sake. Give yourself an uppercut.

It was early in the tackle count and we didn't score from the drop out. Hold the ball and if don't score kick on the 4th or 5th. That's professionalism upper-cut boy!

[Canberra Milk]

Attack still poor in red zones. If it doesn't improve we won't win

[yeh raiders]

If we’re going to keep playing basic, simpleton football in attack... we’re not going to win.

Need to do more with the ball, after laying the platform.

[Azza]

Season over

[gangrenous]

That first play was terrible. Puts pressure on the whole set

[Motiv8dan]

Roosters throwing everything but the kitchen sink at us early.

Ps: Starling 29 tackles

[IBG]

CNK is having his best game overall IMO. He is everywhere.

[GreenMachine]

CHN looks gassed.
Has no motor.

[yeh raiders]

Very good from Semi... a lot of other young players would’ve been burned by Manu there

[afgtnk]

Starting to lose the territory battle. Sub 40 metres last three or four sets

[Groundskeeer Willie]

CHN looks gassed.
Has no motor.

Has played about 3 half games of NRL in the last year. Give it a rest yeah?

[afgtnk]

Yikes, Croker. Not sure what's happened to him under the high ball

[Kryptonite]

Croker is just not competing at NRL level anymore

[Groundskeeer Willie]

And here comes the GH implosion.....

[nodrog]

Havili with a great first run, could he be the injection we needed?

[Groundskeeer Willie]

**** kick ey folks??? Sack wighton.
