Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sharks

[B2B]

Walsh escaped a charge only got fined for the headbutt. Imagine if that was Spencer or Victor , it would be a minimum of three weeks . And the media would be saying to give them more. Also imagine if it was JWH

JWH would have been sent off without bunker interference.

Let me guess, Sandon Smith fan?

Very good pick up, one would say.

i didn't think the walsh headbutt was worth missing a game in the same way that rads's headbutt on blake lawrie wasn't worth the multi-game suspension he got.

the sharks' second try on saturday night was 6 points that they shouldn't have got. clear cut knock on from ramien in the build up. scrum to us in the last minute and the only team that was going to score was us. very similar to the harry grant no knock on ruling v us after which the ref was dropped

Turning Pont in my mind was the Sharks try before half time - Ramien wasn't square at marker and knocked the ball out of Sam Walkers hands - a knock on - should have been a penalty for not being square at marker - Roosters should have let the Sharks player score and it would have been a no try - once the tackle is made the bunker doesn't go back to look at previous tackles except to put players on report.

Would have gone into the sheds at worst 6 - 4 down instead of 12-4 down - The converted try early second half would have put them up 10-6 and who knows what could have happened from then on.

You want to be leading the game not chasing points which seemingly was what the Roosters mind set was at times with some of their errors - needed to get into the grind as they say.

All in all it was a good season with certainly things to work on as Head Coach Trent Robinson said in the press conference.

They need to tidy up getting to the kick in their sets (set completions - 16th) and reducing errors including handling errors - Roosters were number 1 in errors (327) and handling errors (293) - You just put too much pressure on your defence having to do extra's.

KPI’s are key

I’m feeling a little bit of de ja vu over the last few days.
