Round 8 vs Roosters

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Looks like Hunts kicking has gone from great to very poor in the space of two weeks.........how can that be?

 

[Saints111]

Well done hunty

 

[Brutalitops]

With all their possession and our limited field position, to hold them tryless and be up by 12 is a monstrous effort

 

[Mark D]

Defence is f**king excellent

Agree just hope with the travelyans short turn around we have legs in last 20

 

[Drewbrees]

Outstanding game of footy.
Refs giving us a bit of a towel up.
Kicking game not good enough.
Greg Alexander is a merkin.

And that my friends is a world class halfback!! Dragons doing it tough but this team has no resemblance to the rabble teams of the last 4 years... We I'll kick on in the 2nd half !

 

[rednwhites]

Hunt set up the first and scored a nice one of his own. Add that to the one he pulled off against great defence last week.

Is he playing at his optimum? No.
Can he be a match winner for us? Absolutely.

Mitchell Pearce last year got the Roosters over the line. I want Hunt to be our man today.

We are on song today. Nighty has turned back the clock today. All we need is to keep it up in the second half. Defence awsome. If possession evens up we will put on more points

Up by 10 but yeah amazing defence. Hopefully we can hold the ball next half or it will take its toll.

 

[ouryears]

We've given them x3 7 tackle set

Mere tackling practice!

 

[Life's Good]

Massive effort in that first half. Nighty has been great in defence. Widdop has been everywhere. Hunts try gives us the breathing space. Roosters are dangerous but off in attack.
We minimise the errors & we get the win. Go you mighty Red & Whites.

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

We are on song today. Nighty has turned back the clock today. All we need is to keep it up in the second half. Defence awsome.

When Nighty got that ball I had visions of an 80 metre run to the line......then I realised it was Nighty and sat back down.
He’s been good today though.

How does Mitchell stay on the field for rolling Nighty in that tackle though, professional foul every day of the week.

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

I get the feeling that JDB has done nothing in the off season except ram his shoulder into a heavy bag.

 

[Dragons 09]

As long as the Roosters don't give Mitchell any early ball, we've got them covered. Mitchell has schooled Aitken on a couple of occasions and will probably rip him a new one if he get's any quality ball, so hopefully we can keep our line speed up and starve him. All in all, we did well in that half.

Simple turn on To 9....Alexanders the pits...death rides us every chance he gets

Yeah get him off, he is a bad luck omen. Go to 9

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Two points only:

1. Without Nightingale, Ssints would be behind at halftime.

2. Hunt is worth every cent.

 

[TruSaint]

Every stat, except the score board against us.

Finish them off lads.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

With the amount of ball weve turned over to them they should be in front....weve lost possession a few times but Lafai touch when the ball hit under his arm, and Frizz when they reckon he played at it was dead set unlucky...we will feel the effect in the last 20 but it will help if we can just hold the ball for our 6

 

[SaintElroy]

Jimmy my thoughts from that half revolves around those two players too.
If Nighty although much slower these days isn’t better than 90% of the comps wingers I give up.
Hunt needs to run more, every time he has this year he has been super dangerous
