Roosters played with an unbelievable amount of heart. Admittedly, with the team they have, they should be scoring a LOT more points, their backline still leaves a LOT to be desired in terms of the ability to really finish off movements. But their forwards are making great metres, & their defence is very strong, it is taking scrappy kicks & hoping for errors by SKD & Amos to bring about tries. Storm looked out of sorts, but admittedly again, for an out of sorts team they still gave Roosters a hell of a run for their money. Great game.
Folau did look slow, but Perrett missed 8 tackles defending against Folau, & he did make a few great charges. No offence to Sammy though, 215 metres, he had a blinder in attack, & will be a great centre for the club so long as he stays.
Myles is looking unbelievably strong, i would criticize O'Meley who looks a bit like a passenger out there, but with the form Mason, Myles, Fitzgibbon (running hard as ever), Tupou, L Paea & even Shillo the Pillow (whose hits today really dispelled his nickname) are showing, O'Meley barely has to do anything outstanding.
Even Riley Brown looked okay in the opening 25 minutes, i think his role as getting through the opening minutes is very underrated.
