Such a perfect side the Roosters only gave away 1 penalty wow what a team yeah ref $$$ you must of won a bit you just luv them
We were refereed out of the game. Our repeat sets were all on our own line, and the Chooks got penalties and repeat sets to keep up the pressure in our half. They were inside the ten most of the game, and moved off the mark when playing the ball. Lewis was tackled out when they scored their last try.
We had a few late hits ignored. Hetherington did not hit above the shoulder for that last penalty.

Maybe we didn't deserve to win, but the Chooks sure as hell did not either. Had we received the same amount of penalties and repeat sets, we could have won.

It is hard to read a lot into our attack from tonight's game, it was rubbish conditions for play, ball security was really important.

Meaney scored his try because Drew Hutchinson slipped over. That was the type of game it was, tonight was all about field position, ball security, and taking the few opportunities when they come up. The fact the chooks only just scrapped home against a team that has no combinations to speak off, and most of the players in the team either debuted this season or have been with the club for 2 seasons or less, shows that they aren't a force at the moment, the smashing by the Storm last week is accurate.

The hype over Walker is done, he is struggling. He has age on his side, but if he is going to get to top honours they are going to have to be more patient with him.

I know blaming the ref makes a lot of us feel better but we are honestly poorly coached and have no plan on gaining field position or exploiting weaknesses in the opposition (Walker is a defensive turnstile for example)

That was such a tremendous effort by us with so many corrupt 6 agains against us & 1 penalty from the cheating corrupt **** ref.
WELL DONE BOYS!!!
If we can keep that effort up we can win a few games for the rest of the season :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Its games like tonights that Dufty can win for us
I don't know. For example, Meaney making an effort and batting it out the back... I don't think Dufty does that. I also thought Meaney made some surprisingly good tackles on bigger players near the line.
