Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Roosters @ Sydney Cricket Ground

De Ja Vu?

Poor Lino. This is a game where he's looking out of his depth.

Because of one kick out on the full?

Ok then

Just wondering, are you going to keep posting shit takes for the rest of the night?

No - a culmination of things in this game. But cheers for the comment.

 

[Yosh]

Lino has given away 3set restarts?

And 4 set restarts 2 which led to tries.

 

[Jono078]

What's Vossy going on about? Even if the dummy half ran then you can't run behind the player playing the ball - right call!

Fitzy saved by the bunker

Fitz being trampled by Collins is pretty embarrassing to be honest.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Seriously have we ever heard of an offload? We don’t know how to throw them and we don’t seek to expect the opposition to throw them either.

 

[Jono078]

You can tell we've tried harder in this second half, but the Roosters are just too good. There's a reason they've gone back-to-back and a good chance of the three-peat.

Hopefully we learn something from this and we make the necessary adjustments to make some sort of footprint on the finals.

 

[Yosh]

Run metrrs 1200-800.
Line breaks 6-0.
Offloads 15-2.

Needless to say anymore?

 

[Alex28]

All the yokel “locals” fans should be happy that Tex has got a run.

Now, he needs a solid off season and some time in reserves before he is ready. He is miles away.

 

[Alex28]

I mean, the effort is there. 65 minutes in and they are still hitting hard in defence and having a go in attack.

The problem is the Roosters are a much, much better team than us.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Good to see Tex run the ball a couple of times just now. Made a little half break just before.

 

[K-Man]

I am constantly amazed at Pearce's lack of basic playmaking skills. You don't see stupid forward passes like that thrown in my C grade mixed touch footy league. I'm embarrassed for him half the time, which is not how you want to feel about your club's halfback and captain.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

I feel a bit sorry for Pearce when he runs the ball because he never has anyone running with him at all. That Fitz run was the first time he’s had support all game and the timing was all wrong.

 

[Yosh]

Just turned it off after that pass from Pearce.

Don't want to be too cynical but he needs to be dropped for whoever.

 

[ryana87]

The difference between Pearce and Keary is just astonishing

All this talk about "Pearce just needs a calm 5/8th" is BS....... Keary could play with Jaelan Feeney as a halves partner and still be the one the best halves in the comp

 

[Jono078]

Gee whiz.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Just watching the Roosters when they’ve got the ball. Every time they take a hit up there’s at least one if not two support runners. There’s always a threat that someone might pass to a support player and the defence has to cover multiple runners. How is it that we haven’t learned this basic principle? Why do we just run one out with no support every time? Surely just having a supporting player on every run would dramatically improve our attack, how has our coach not figured this out?
