'14 // R26 // Thu // Roosters 22-18 Rabbitohs // Allianz

[Tommy Smith]

Pearce is quicker than GI over 100m imo.

GI hasn't been quick for a while.

 

[insert.pause]

Its pouring rain for gods sake.

I think given the conditions they have been going alright

Nothing to do with conditions, just too much wrestle bullshit for me.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Its been good imo.
Very physical.
Had toupo at @$10. So it was a try for sure.
Souths still a good chance though.
Thought they started to get on top in the forwards as the game went on.

 

[Danish]

7 penalties, got nothing. Souths forwards got owned the first 20 mins and predictably they went into their shell.

Penalty count won't finish 14-8 so possession won't be gifted to the bunnies in the 2nd half either.

Lastly, can we finally put to bed the myth that Inglis is fast? Run down in 60 metres by a halfback giving up a 15+m headstart

 

[insert.pause]

That run away by Inglis was just lazy. He thought he had it in the bag and was just jogging. A player with less of a profile would have been canned by the commentary team, but instead they just look for excuses.

He looked spent to me, he isn't that quick anymore.

Pearce is quicker than GI over 100m imo.

GI hasn't been quick for a while.

I lament the fact that he gave up his speed and step for bash n' barge.

 

[Galeforce]

Souths have definitely missed Reynolds kicking game.
First impression of Hastings -- a sharp terrior

This game should flatten the Roosters going into the finals.
A couple of their forwards already should be facing suspension if there is any consistency.

 

[yobbo84]

For the typical whinging Roosters about penalties - multiple shoulder charges and high tackles will do that. But kudos I guess because it's worked so far.

 

[Owen Da Saints]

7 penalties keeping you in the game.

Btw, congrats to souths for being the 1st team ever to get 200 penalties in 1 season !

 

[Swarzey]

To be fair to GI, he's clearly pretty banged up.

 

[lockyno1]

Souffs please play Sutton at 5/8! He is hopeless!

 

[GongPanther]

The teams have been playing the bash and barge game.

It'll open up in the 2nd half...to me,the Roosters have looked the sharper and more dominant of the two teams.

Roosters to put on the coup de gras.

 

[chigurh]

Burgess, Sutton and Inglis all seem to playing injured

 

[tomdl]

Milked the shit out of that. Just let the ball go

 

[Snappy]

Bunniesgimp to melt down in 3....2.....1......

 

[andrew057]

What a f**king joke. Make a break and then drop the ball, defender gets 10.

 

[nick87]

That was the most obvious professional foul ive ever seen
ref had no option but to bin him

 

[BunniesMan]

Pearce drops it clearly and we get a sin bin for it. That is game over for us and these refs need to be sacked.

 

[GongPanther]

genius play by Ah-me.

Williams makes a great break....

 

[insert.pause]

Why would you go for the 2pts against 12 men?
