CNK stepping it up big time tonight. No dying with the ball when it isn't needed. Brilliant.

Also eating my words on Semi. He has been outstanding. The pick of our three quarters so far.

Well the Roosters couldn't possibly play any worse than they did in that half

It's going to be a very close final 40

How good were our middles to start. And I pumped for Young into the starting side with Tarps to prop. Boom. Now just got to get through the next 15 minutes with no damage. We will run away with it in the last 25 if we can keep the lead

I thought the kicking game had been pretty damn good myself. Keeping pressure on catchers and not letting them make metres on kick return.

I’d say keeping it in and trusting us to outlast the Roosters is also the tactic.

I think it was fine early. They just didn't evolve as we got out to the lead. Definitely start playing the corners along the ground much more from here on.

We looked a lot weaker with our starting forwards off. Starling is looking a bit slow too which is a worry.

I'm used to a ok first half and the Raiders power home in the second.
It'll be great to see a 80 min effort......and Cotric flogged.

Unlucky that the pass was to Rapana rather than the man further in, but Young has stepped it up so much in recent weeks.
was a rush of blood by Rapana. Pretty dumb really he should have let it go. Cost us dearly. He or young scores if he lets it go.

Best half of footy we’ve had since the storm game in round 3
The first 15 minutes of this second half are going to be very important

Semi has looked a million dollars. But we've dominated field position so his weaknesses haven't been ale to be targeted. And when they have got down our end they've gone to Tupou. Same player different game.

Games not over, not by a long shot.
Shame Rapana took that pass from Starling. I thought Young was the better option....could be costly.

Rapana apparently cleared to continue. Sternum problem. Taukeiaho is out for the game.

Raiders coming back out now.

Roosters kick off, we are back underway.

Taukeiaho is a massive out for them if he doesn’t make it back. His pcm and quick play the balls were really hurting us.

No Taukeiaho should see Paps and Taps easily on top on the run home.

44th min Great attack from the Raiders, and then great defence. Morris taken over the sideline. Rapana and Cotric. That's as good as a repeat set.
