2019 R17 Sun - Roosters 12-15 Cowboys @ Central Coast

LU logic, 2 players missing will always = "half their team missing"

 

[Saxon]

Roosters were playing without Cordner and Tedesco. When your playing without your captain and best player that is going to have an impact especially when the fill in is coming back from a long injury. I’m a little surprised NQL won but I’m not totally surprised. Roosters haven’t been setting the world on fire.

But but isn't Latrell the GOAT?

 

[beave]

Wouldn’t call it a major upset. Roosters aren’t anywhere near full strength.

jesus, and we are?

Michael Morgan 18 try assists say ‘hi’ mate....

 

[Valheru]

Par for the course for us at that stadium, not sure what it is but we are always well below our best there.

Another one of those days with Keary nearly getting through a few holes, Tupou try being pulled back for a forward pass, that kick not sitting up for Cronk and that 2nd cowboys try touching approximately 2 blades of white grass.

The defence is coming along though.

 

[King hit]

Michael Morgan 18 try assists say ‘hi’ mate....

Really I would’ve have thought that. Been a bit hit and miss from the Cowboy games I’ve seen

 

[horrie hastings]

Friend back with a great 40/20 and try but then those lazy forward passes from dummy half crept right back into his game.With about 8 minutes left on the clock Cronk has a clear shot for field goal when nobody would have been expecting it but he puts up a bomb to the corner instead. No excuses though, Cowboys deserved the win

 

[Valheru]

Feel free to play like that next week Roosters

That won't happen

There is a reckoning coming next week for Newcastle due to the carry on when you beat us earlier.

They certainly poked the bear that day and gave our players a rare reason to get up for a regular season game.

That's a major upset, I don't care how Rooster's fans want to word it

Mid-week when the coach is giving the address regarding how important it is to win, I highly doubt the motivation will be what happened earlier in the season, even so, Newcastle have just come off a loss themselves against a team who on form you would expect them to have beaten.

It's in the eye of the beholder. If you want to go purely based on the odds then sure.

It certainly wasn't unexpected to me given our history and record in Gosford. We have now won 4 of 15 at the venue and I wouldn't describe any of the wins as a good performance.

 

[TheFrog]

Wouldn’t call it a major upset. Roosters aren’t anywhere near full strength.

This is what they said when we beat 'em too. And the Knights. And the Broncos.

The "statement" game then. Certainly suits us.

Cowboys played the better game and deserved to win.

Roosters were mostly terrible, especially the first half.

Also a few of them need to stop being glory hounds and PASS THE BALL! Yes, I am lookling at you Joey Manu. I don't think he made one attempt to pass the ball in the first half, and in the whole match would have been lucky to make 5 passes. Killed our attack by constantly dying with the ball.

Good win cowboys. Roosters own fault for choosing to rest teddy and cordner
