NRLW Line Up for Round 8 - Sydney Roosters vs Newcastle Knights

[fletch]

No idea why Aiken is straight up refusing to run today.

[bondi.boy]

our girls are trying hard, but are playing like the Storm last night.

[King Salvo]

Mia Wood off now looked like a facial injury of some sort.

The Roosters have been a bit flat today but it's the game they needed.

Coach Strange and players will know they have things still to work on in attack when coming up against very good defensive sides and of course in their own D against very good attacking sides.

[King Salvo]

I think Amelia Pasikala had the ankle injury

[King Salvo]

Isabella Kelly off now looks injured.

Pretty poor from Channel 9 with no updates

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Too good the Kinghts today. Did a Roosters on the Roosters...first time we have met that sort of power and physicality.

The girs just ran out of steam under that pressure in the 2nd half.

Wish Jazzie Strange was still being coached by her Dad.

Yeah that was ordinary broadcasting.

They just defended her too well. Even covered her short ball options. A half can't make space appear. Other games we have dominated the power game and she has played off that. She'll be back.

tough game. we defended well for the most part but missed a couple of gettable tackles on upton and the rest is history. knights were strong and deserved their victory. good to know we should have a couple of big additions if we get to play them again. i thought the kernick no try was a knock back and i didn't see any shoulder contact on southwell when we got penalised on the fifth tackle

Don't agree she refused to take the line on at all today everything was pass well before the line.

Completely agree.

To me it looked like Kernick bobbled the ball, got control, and then the ball went backwards from her when she offloaded.

I also didn’t think there was a shoulder charge. I thought the contact was with both forearms of our player in a pushing action while running into Southwell.

Oh well. Like you said the Knights deserved the win. They defended well and our attack couldn’t create many opportunities.

I hope there are no significant injuries for our players that were taken off.

If indeed this was the Grand Final preview as touted by some commentators, better to lose now than in the big one.
