I have a bad feeling about this

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Please let Ponga be OK.

BREAKING NEWS: Ponga leaves warm-up early.

Not sure if that means he is out but it looks like it...

f**k this team. Made of glass with flippers for hands.

EDIT: Even better, looks like Hoy injured him LOL

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

I wonder if Ponga had something niggling and that's why Hoy was picked at 18. I thought it was odd to pick a FB at 18.

 

[Jono078]

Ponga is out there - thankfully! But hopefully all good and no actual injury issue with the sternum.

 

[Zoidberg]

Good start. On our game so far.
First chance to attack now

 

[Jono078]

Excellent start... Too early to get too excited, but they look on..

 

[Knight Tales]

All our hard work undone by handling. What else is new?

 

[Jono078]

Wow Hymel! Good defensive effort and a little lucky there.

Hymel is best value back in the comp.

KP needs to man up and take that kick return, not throw an awful pass at Dom's knees

 

[PhilGould]

Dom will need to learn to stay ready when Kalyn has the ball like that but throwing it into the big fellas knees didn't help

 

[K-Man]

It’s not a good pass from Ponga but first grade wingers still catch those. As I said last week, I’m not convinced you can carry a liability like Young while he’s developing, too many errors and misreads.

 

[Willie Ray]

nice work from Ponga there

 

[Jono078]

Wow... what a huge hole by the Roosters! We'll take that no worries!

Come on boys!

 

[K-Man]

Good stuff Jacob, he really wanted it. For once we start with intensity and look at the difference.

 

[slotmachine]

Wow... what a huge hole by the Roosters! We'll take that no worries!

Come on boys!

Very un-roosters

 

[K-Man]

Excellent start... Too early to get too excited, but they look on..

Whatever happens by full time at least we’ve seen that AOB can produce something in training (finally) that actually addresses a major weakness. All season we’ve started softly with a wait and see approach, but tonight it’s very obvious we have a bit of a grand final mentality. That’s what is needed.

 

[Knight Tales]

KP can create problems on the right. They look very vulnerable when he shifts right.

We need to re-sign Connor
