Roosters v The Cheating Storm Match Day Thread

[mightyrooster]

Correct.

You have to wonder how our "discipline" went from rubbish to perfect all due to a break at half-time, it's why I've never bought into the whole "ill-discipline" tag we have, it's just inconsistent, incompetent and borderline corrupt refereeing that sees the bizarre "square-up" in penalty counts.

Agree totally.

LOL, @ some of the comments, yes, it was good tow in a hard grind game, just what we needed at this stage of the season, and finally that win against a genuine top 4 side, at last, well done lads, but hell you made it hard on yourselves, with some terrible handling errors, at crucial times, but we got the money, that's all that matters. I must say I must congratulate whoever does Melbourne's recruitment, the kiwi centre #4 , and kiwi forward #15, were a big handful for us, they ran hard all night, and were almost impossible to put on the ground, they would not of cost much, but they are hell of a good two players. Cant wait to get hold of Souths next Thursday, just hope this friggin rain goes away.

Did we not concede a single penalty in the second half? Watch Bellamy blow up.

Correct.

A frustrating game with mistakes and the repeat sets forced by the Storm but our defence was outstanding.

Storm would have beaten any other team tonight with that possession differential.

Mitchell Pearce was sublime.... Brilliant game from our half. Credit to those on here who stuck by him....you were right.

[Tommy Smith]

The only issue is FPNs ankle.

He played a blinder off the bench.

I hope he's ok but he is replaceable. Liu as lock interchange and Kane as an extra monster on the bench.

Still, it would hurt our middle third defence.

[Vasco]

Gutsy win.

The hunger is there. Just need luck now and we can win it.

S###w Belamy.

Orgasmic

Fantastic performance. The errors are a worry but you have to take the weather into account. Delighted to see we got into a hard, grinding game which we won.

Yes, along with the physical demands of such a superhuman defensive effort. Oh, and the fact that Melbourne were allowed to get away with being offside every time we got the ball and to interfere with the play-the-ball.

[mightyrooster]

Fantastic win. Built on awesome defence!

Whats with the Melbourne Trio talking to Fitzy?

[Tommy Smith]

Wow.

No ball.

A thousand errors.

And we beat QLDs amazing big 3.

So Sea Eagles need to lose tomorrow in order to setup another Minor Premiership decider next week when Roosters vs Rabbits?
