[Babyface O'reilly]

Two teams that occasionally forget that a game of rugby league has a second half. Roosters by 4.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Another 5mins last weekend and the Roosters lose to Manly.

Should be real close this one as the Roosters don’t beat top 4 teams and struggle against top 8 teams.

You reckon we had another intercept in us? Hard to argue, really.

Let's not pretend that Manly had any points in them other than what we literally threw to them, 3 intercepts is all they scored in the 2nd half. Roosters were a 30+ point better side on the day and the intercepts masked some issues in the Manly side.

 

[ouwet]

Roosters by 24!

Roosters really were dominate against the Eagles! Manly couldn't score without it literally being gifted to them.

I guess when Manly were pressing your line in the final minutes you weren’t worried?

Just like people who say oh they scored off kicks or this or that. It’s all part of the game.

They toweled you up at 4 Pines and given another few minutes they almost pulled your pants down in this game.

So don’t try and pull this superiority bullshyte on Manly.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Yeah hard to argue for sure.

Didn’t learn a bloody lesson the 1st time, 2nd time or probably the 3rd time.

At least you were sharing the gifts around.

lol.

 

[GongPanther]

Roosters should win by a comfortable margin, but with no confidence.

26-18 to Chooks.

No, I didn't say I wasn't worried, I said their only points in the 2nd half come from intercepts and that is a fact.

We were superior to them in every single way in that game and they only had a sniff because of 3 intercepts. That's what happened

 

[Fangs]

And the Rugby League world unites once again.

Can Wayne's battling Dolphins cause an upset? Unlikely but its what the fans want.

 

[JamesRustle]

Easts will put 50 on the Phins here and mark their territory in the Top 4.
