Other Rd 1 Games

[YTSharks]

Gus will somehow spin the Panthers loss, was in fact a better performance then Sharks loss and they will come good

No single part of their game was anywhere near better than us

Raiders gone to golden point, hope it goes full extra 10

 

[Ghost of Popper]

Wot a great game between the Cowboys & Raiders. Extra time.

Will be hard to beat next week.

Luke Keary deadly against Titans. Would like to see Maloney take a leaf out of this game and play a bit more on both sides of the field. In fact Pearce and Keary were by far the sharpest halves pairing so far this Rd. They ran straight at the line time and again not sideways.. Fast and direct play which sets up the structure for an attacking spread. Really hope Flanballs walks our team through some video of this type of play.

 

[Card Shark]

Well without 2 of our quickest guys from last year, even that play would be less effective.

Desperately need Holmes back to create some variety in our backline.

Geez I hope he's up to the task of being fullback, it's not a foregone conclusion imo, as good as he is.

I dont know what you're getting at here. Last year, in nearly every game, both Chad and Jimmy interchanged sides at some point. They may have only done it for a few moves a game but it did happen.
I didn't watch the game but if the Roosters did it last night you can sure as shyte put it down to "what did the top teams do last year? We'll copy and expand a bit" , thats how rugby league works and evolves.

I don't recall Maloney popping up much on the right hand side last year? Maybe he did... I def don't think Chad floats out around the left that much either... Would sure like to see both our halves active in varying their positions for attack some more

The roosters played straight again St a defence that was on the back foot from minute 1.

Majority of our games were like that last year.
We started last year playing a bit sideways and built the attack up. Once we get our ball control/security sorted it will happen.

Titans made the Roosters look good, their defence was a rabble. I turned it off at 26-0. Don't know how the fk the Tits came back as much as they did, I thought they were going to get 50 put on them.

Out of all the teams this round so far, Penrith and Titans have plenty of work to do. Rabbits goooorne!!

 

[Card Shark]

We also have plenty of work to do but we have heaps of scope for improvement.

Other clubs, not so much.

I actually don't mind we lost round 1, it's how we react that matters.

Same, I cant remember a time when Chad and Maloney weren't stationed on their particular sides. Maybe they get in the middle a bit together but thats about it.

Did you watch the grand final?
One of my strongest memories of that game was Jimmy on the right side- straightening the attack, making a break and passing to Luke Lewis who nearly scored.
I'm not going through the whole season to make a point, this was just the obvious one.
Here's a vid at that exact spot.

Yep.

Henry wouldve been kicking cats.
Tits actually gave up at 30 minute mark. Without halftime it wouldve 100.

Rorts gave up at halftime.
Up 28 blot, their heart wasnt in it til Tits got within 10 - then decided to put them away.

Never seen that game before...

 

[Card Shark]

Warriors tried their best to lose to Newcastle & the Eels win their traditional rd 1 game, against the Eagles, can they sustain it?

Great round 1 I thought, but now the cobwebs are blown out & the built up off-season emotion has expired, time to get down to the real business.

Another nail in Trent Barrett's coffin - great result

 

[Quigs]

It is always great to see the Hartleys get done at 'Dumb Farcked Named' Oval.
