Not really, think today showed plenty. We’re going to be a gritty team that will struggle to score points whilst combinations are getting sorted. Sadly we don’t have individuals who can create something out of nothing so will rely on a bit of luck and opposition mistakes to score a lot of points.

Not getting ahead of ourselves and have no doubt come the end of the year Roosters finish ahead of us on the table. However after watching the roosters run riot over a softock pack lead by Captain Marshmellow for 7 years it’s nice to see a team with some punch to it.

Captain Marshmallow has a new bob cut and his best buddy copied his beard. So what if he was as soft as ever last night he has moved on and has a new boyfriend.

And right there is why Latrell will never be a great centre. All the great centres of the past wanted the ball. If it wasn't getting to them, they went looking for it.
Mitchell waits for it to come to him.

Going looking for the ball might up his stats but to up our points he needs to be getting quality ball from the halves.

Saw it time and time again last year. When he and Toops get good ball they ruin riot. When they're ignored we struggle for points.

I think most of the excitement is the fact we beat our bogey team for the first time in 7 years. Our attack was diabolical but for once in our teams short history we won a game on gritty defense. A rarity
The defense wasnt bad...Chooks didnt throw much at us, but usually we lose these games
I want to see us defend like this the majority of the year before I get carried away...consistent attitude in D is something weve never had
Some Roosters fans at the game...some very serious butthurt back to bondi LOL
