Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[SamKerrSimp]

I don’t want to be critical of Marky Marks 2nd try, but imo the kick from Toia was a low percentage option.
There was a Roosters player backing up on the inside who would have most likely have scored under the posts.
It was as clear as day at the game.
Not sure what Bobby T was thinking there, but it still came off.

It wasn't the best option but I'll give Toia a pass for that he's only played about a dozen games in the top grade and with a large scoreline at the time a few days after origin and with all the time in the world to make his decision his excitement and confidence was probably sky high and hopefully with the poor execution of the kick he puts that play back in the rack and goes for the pass. I do understand why he kicked it with the fullbacks being skillful enough these days to stop the pass they know is coming.

I only saw it live and thought he just didn’t see the inside support player - ZDC from memory.
