That start was absolutely critical, and without it we don't win IMO. Huge marks to Papa and Taps for it

Hell of a game from all our guys
THought it would have to be close to our best game of footy all year to win and the boys gave it to us.

Great job all around. Hell of a game though
Huge credit to the roosters, just refused to go quietly into the night, faught till the bitter end. Champion team, no question about it

Tapine, Papalii and Young are a serious threat in the middle of the field.

CNK is a warrior

Maybe don't give the storm the space out wide we gave the roosters lol

Keep going boys

CNK did it real tough tonight, but he saw how we fell apart defensively without him in the GF and toughed out the game. And what a game he had

Now if we could get the man some **** salts or something to keep the hydration up, that'd be **** swell

Credit to SBW. He played well
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

If the guy wasn't taking 2 hit ups every **** set it'd help out :lol: . Someone needs to spend the set holding him back.

Cotric prefers a dummy half zigzag rather than to return the ball which doesn't help him out

Have to say. Big question mark on all 3 Roosters tries. 1st one was a forward pass, albeit marginal. 2nd try a blatant obstruction the bunker chose to ignore. Last try was a clear forward pass.

So, so stressful.
Incredible win.
Players running on fumes.

Papa always plays well.
C-N-K huge.
Tapine massive first 30 minutes.
Huddo invaluable with so many minutes.
Havili played real well too.

The way Keary had us back peddling tonight was scary.

The roosters were really good.

I think basically everyone had a strong game tonight, it took a real team effort but you're right to single those blokes out, outstanding game from both. Hudson makes a game changing plays every week and Semi looked a season pro out there tonight.

There's a reason Robbo dropped him. He just isn't very good. It helps when the rest of the team are all champion players

What everyone else said - so, so exciting!
Sweet victory.
I guess we are underdogs again next week - Storm at ‘home’, no travel for them, so well rested they are all asleep, while we have to recover fast, lick our wounds, travel a few thousand miles in a day.
Sound familiar?? We can do this!! Peaking at exactly the right time.

Only mistake he made was the arm grab on the Manu try. He's great running in out of our territory and seems a confident lad. Was waiting for him to knock on but he never looked in doubt tonight. Great performance in a pressure match.

Valemi was excellent. Error free and put in some very good runs. Defensively went OK too.

Young has maintained the high standard he's set the past couple of weeks.

All our forwards did a great job tonight.
