Official Match Thread - Sydney Roosters vs Newcastle Knights

[Guest]

This referee is annoying with sending every try up for the bunker to decide, make a decision!

When we drag players half that way into touch we get penalised.

Knights have come out strongly in the second half and are pinning us in our own territory. Important for us to gain momentum and not let these guys sneak back in. Some holes showing out there.

[roosterchook]

When are we gonna get some damn POSSESSION.??

[Louis N]

Super on line defence to deny Fitzgibbon a try. Cronk and Radley held him up and Tedesco came in late to ensure there was no try. SKD misses a try in the corner. Knights get the ball back.

These offside penalties have become a safety net for the Refs

[fletch]

another sleep walking start to a second half, what the hell does Robbo do at half time.

[RoosterFanNZ]

The refs love their whistles and offside penalties

[King Salvo]

the last 15 in the first half and the first 15 or so in the second half are periods where the chooks have to better - seem to drop off in that period - laying eggs in the chookpen as one of my grandson's/daughters say - bit early for birds and bee's talk from their parents maybe :-)

Newcastle spread the ball - pass goes loose. Snapped up by Cronk and he's away. Finds Manu on the inside. Probably could have made the line himself but shoots it to Nosferatu who goes in under the posts. Mitchell nails it 30 to 8. Loving this. And writing it up for any fans who haven't got other access incidentally.

Nosferatu?

Poor Shitzell hahahaha

Robinson playing much more confidently in the second half. Diffused a dangerous bomb earlier and made a nice run down the touchline finishing with a neat centre kick. Our halves are killing them. Cronk kicks for Keary - a grubber near the line - Cronk follows his own kick and scores. 34-8 conversion wide. All came from that repeat set after Robbo's nice finish to the set. Cronk and Keary playing like Bishop and Millward at their best.
