09 :: R15 Sat :: Cowboys 24 Roosters 22 @ Dairy Farmers

[Rovelli]

Anasta's injury turned the game. They were on attack, and it was a try-saver that injured Anasta. If he is not tackled, the Roosters probably would have scored through Maubs.

Cows could have made things easier at the end but without Thurston looked rather pedestrian. Whole second-half, they had chances to nail the Roosters but couldn't take them.

Roosters were worse.

No idea how they blew that one.

First Pearce gets a loose-ball from a kick, runs and gets taken down, tries to throw a miracle ball infield, when he should've taken the tackle.

Then they get two 6-to-go's in a row, have an overlap, but instead of catch-and-pass, they try a long ball which gives time for the D to slide. Then Symonds loses it.

Poor Roosters, they were denied last week, they denied themselves this week. Cowboys were there for the taking.

It was the moment that got to him. Tried to be a hero but failed miserably.

Cowboys were sh*t in the 2nd Half. They blew a million more chances...

Roosters should of won they are rubbish

 

[Parramatta_Power]

I got to say, if Pearce was thinking straight he would of never thought about throwing the perverbial spetacular.

 

[JT_]

I think the reason why Pearce threw that was because he was getting awfully close to the sideline and with the duey conditions, the cowboys would of tackled him into touch.

 

[Rovelli]

^ It was a mind-numbingly stupid decision from Pearce. Roosters would've had them on the rack, and may even have got a penalty for a possible hold-down or leg-pull. Unbelievable stuff. They shot themselves tonight; last week a coat of paint did.

In the end, good game of footy.

Fair point

But he still should of thought ahead... "I've now got 5 more tackles and we can easily get the 4 pointer with some simple passing".

 

[Non Terminator]

You have no time to think out there. It was the miracle play.

Or harsh call which ever way you look at it...

Hence my repeated statement earlier... "The Spetacular" but it failed to night and it cost the Roosters dearly.

Anasta at hospital with a possible fractured ankle.

Ouch.

You could see the reaction on his face and banging his arm on the ground that he truly f***ed it.

Edit: If anything Pearce wasn't trying to be a hero going for himself. Late in the game and making a very long break he would of been on his last ounce of energy so passing was probably the best option.

 

[shear_joy9]

imagine the score had fitzgibbon come on 10 sec before the anasta injury

 

[JT_]

Positives (yes they do exist) to take out of this game:

Only 17 missed tackles
Kept an opponent scoreless in the second half. (an absolute aberration)
8 Line breaks
Lopini Paea was spotted on the field for the first time since 2007
Mitchell Aubusson

 

[Ice Ice Brady]

positives? f**k that off.

for f**ks sake... at least 10 of the 17 need to be sent to siberia or something.

 

[Non Terminator]

What are we building towards if there are no positives?

 

[Ice Ice Brady]

What are we building towards if there are no positives?

We will see when the team is announced next week if we are building...

Did you see the toyota cup team? there are some keepers there. put williamson on the bench and give him a half to see how he goes. lets see how some of these guys handle first grade before they get too old for toyota cup and teams like the rabbitohs or cowboys sign them on for us to look like f**king idiots.
