2019 R15 Fri - Roosters 12-14 Storm @ Adelaide

[Dragon Slayer]

LU posters complaining about the grubby Storm winning as usual but surely 4 losses from 5 for The Latte sippers is a bright side? 4 L’s in a row for LOL@Souffs too. It shows the comp is open for a Raiders or maybe someone else to challenge this year.

Roosters lose next week as well without their Origin players.

Probably the least concern I have ever been after a loss. Melbourne will have to be a lot better at finals time otherwise they can expect another GF flogging.

40-0?

Hope so regardless of who play. If they get to the GF.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Well done storm. Frustrating loss but more positives than negatives. Put keary in that team and we probably win. The defence was great. We just don’t build pressure. Morris passes we win. Could’ve would’ve should’ve. We have plenty improvement not sure storm have as much.

Forget about Keary he’s done.

Brain is mush.

Forget about Keary he’s done.

Brain is mush.

He seemed pretty confident the other day. Time will tell.

I could live with a raiders year. Would certainly remind Canberra that the western Sydney fumble team is manufactured relevance.

Uh.... Tigers at parra stadium....

 

[TheFrog]

Two good sides trying not to get hurt.

 

[moffla]

Roosters had a lot of possession from that penalty count and didn’t do enough with it the first half.

Storm hung in well.

Agreed
Roosters had plenty of chances to do the job

It’s certainly an area we need to address before the finals

Not the most exciting game to introduce my Adelaide mates to RL but glad to travel for the win all the same. Well done Storm!

I know about the curse but WT won once last year and should have won the other. And no Teddy, no Cordner, no Keary, maybe no Latrine, one win from 5, not that scary. Bash Cronk and win.

Yeah, well if his brain is mush he wouldn't be the best judge, would he?

Keary will play. We will win and win well.

 

[Cockosh]

He was talking about what the specialist had told him so that’s all I have to go off. I think he’ll be right. In fact he said that he is no worse off than any other player. Like I said time will tell.

Is Keary due back next week?

Roosters will end season strong and finish 2nd still.

Probably should of won.

 

[thorson1987]

It's easy when you've given away so many penalties that the refs won't give any more no matter what you do

Helps if you actually know the rules. All those strips were legal. They changed the rule last season so that if there are two or more defenders are in a tackle that the extras can drop off and the remaining one can strip the ball.

Taking the grand final rematch to f**king Adelaide. What were NRL thinking?

That it wouldn't draw a crowd in Sydney.

 

[horrie hastings]

Is Keary due back next week?

From what I read originally his return was slated for the game against the Cowboys at Gosford the following week but there were also reports that he was keen to play in the Adelaide match but Easts decided against it so I wouldn't be surprised if he does play against the Tigers.

 

[horrie hastings]

Agreed
Roosters had plenty of chances to do the job

Morris passes the ball to Tupou, Roosters win, not going to be critical of Morris though as it was his first match since round 3 and I thought he played well apart from that. Melbourne did well to hold the Roosters to just a penalty goal after the opening onslaught of penalties they received.
