Official Game Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[QWERTY]

That’s what happens when you hold the more instead of chucking it away. Ryan Hall inching closer to a try. Tupou MOTM

Really happy Toops got a late try in his 150th game!

Fox commentators claiming that 'Cooper Cronk mouthful, that is what turned it around in the second half'.

Mouthful of what? No expletives please.

Radley said it after the game

At work so haven't been able to watch the whole game yet, but judging by the score, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT, BOYS!

Radley said it after the game

Radley spoke well. We were a different side in the second half...despite the Sitili play the ball to begin.

[Johnny Brass]

Massive 2nd half from the chooks we just fired a warning shot to the rest of the comp.

[roosterchook]

That second half proved that once we are back together again all hell can break loose and it did. First half was very rusty but after that we began to hit some form.

Expect Robbo to rest some more guys next week against the Dogs, SST looked pretty sore post game, hope it is nothing more than a cork to the knee.

Good game from us. As I said at half time I thought we were going along ok.

Our defensive pressure on their yardage sets was great all game. There felt like there was at least a dozen sets where they failed to make it out to their 40. Half a dozen times where they had to kick from their own 30. It was a really good sign our attitude was on point today.

I thought our kicking game was good, we kicked into corners all day, only a few not executed properly.

Carrying the ball out of our own end through Toops, Teddy & Hall was perfect and our forwards were doing a really good job of bending the line.

Good balance in our direction of play, left right & middle third. When your two second rowers score tries off the halves its generally a good sign the defensive side aren't being able to read which way the plays going.

I thought Keary & Cronk got the balance right today. 55 touches for Keary, 40 for Cronk.

Just individual errors in good ball attack that was the real negative today. Felt like we were trying to hard to create points, big spreads early in the set, a paranoia of dying with the ball on a play and players who aren't naturally creative trying to create something out of nothing.

Butcher, Toops & Hargreaves the stand outs for me. Really opened the game up for the others through their hard work in the middle.

Im happy to eat my words from half time!

There's a few on here that seem to get an almost perverse form of pleasure when we aren't winningbut you aren't one of them . 48/10 yeah that is a statement ! Bondiboy must be crying like a baby Lol . Go the ROOSTERS !!

SST has had a quieter month.

I say quieter because he's still been good but by they standards he set himself in the first half of the season he's been a bit off. Looks like he's carrying something at the moment.

Can't wait to get home and watch that 2nd half again. Best 2nd half performance of the season

I think those multiple head knocks have got to him, can't really blame any player for being a bit tentative after a couple of blows to the head, I still think Keary is being really cautious as well, isn't putting his foot down and taking the line on yet.

Hopefully Friend isn't seriously injured, I think Radley is going to need a rest a some point, and with the Bulldogs/Titans up the next two weeks this is the time for Robbo to finish freshening guys up.
