[Johnny Tobin]

Friend a liability in attack

I’m over him.

Friend a liability in attack

He always has been.

[King Salvo]

need to hang on here basically last set of 6 for the match and be down only 2-0 and not 6 or 8

[Lydon]

We need Baptiste spark from dummy half,he is lightning!

[RoosterFanNZ]

friend in dummy half is so meh when going forward would love to see radley. missing keary, team just looks a little rusty still should get over it

[fletch]

not a fan of this flat style attack, we basically ignored our left edge the entire first half, Teddy/Mitchell going to waste.

we badly miss Keary's running game, Cronk/Cornish just aren't a real threat to take the line on.

[Lydon]

He always has been.

Yes but we were promised improvement this year lol

[Chooky Chookerson]

Defense has been good. Need to cover their offloads though.
Friend needs to clear the ball quicker. Far too slow and really pushes the limit with forward passes from dumm half.
overall, not a bad half but not a good half either. Could be up 6-2 atm.

[King Salvo]

oranges down 2-0 - Tigers getting a standing ovation - Roosters players looked a bit stunned after the first half display - need to dig deep to win this one I suggest.

[stringaz]

I’m over him.

He seems to have to stand up to pass the ball, I believe he will nullify Cooper's game (as he has pearce) if he doesn't get his running game on. Especially behind the power game our forwards tend to play

[Nicola Tesla]

Absolutely nothing from dummy half... even our wingers etc aren’t zippy players.
cam smith isn’t zippy though.. but when their wingers come in.... lookout!
keary adds zip around the park also... missing him!
its round one though!

[MCMLXVI]

First 40 minutes of the first match of our season. I wouldn't be worried yet.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Yes but we were promised improvement this year lol

when he kicked the ball dead, immediately looked like a slightly empty promise haha

[Rooster_6]

Need to get our centres some more ball, Tigers look rock solid in the middle but very vulnerable on the edges
