R21 Sun - ROOSTERS v WARRIORS *Match Thread* Game of the Year

[Tom Ace]

Brilliant game by both teams...I was ready to personally assasinate Hayne for a while there but he ended up making terrible decisions for both teams in the end. No team deserved to lose that so i suppose a draw is a fair result.

Although the 2 points were probably more crucial to the Roosters than the Warriors? Maybe i'm being biased though.

Geez, i can't wait till next year with Shrek and Roy II (James Aubusson).

 

[Rovelli]

Yeah....I think the Roosters needed the points more than we probably did.

We'd have stayed 5th loss or draw, Roosters jump three other teams, but don't get any closer to the finals - two games.

We now need the Cowboys to lose a game, and us to win, so we move above them.

As it is, playing NQ in a 4v5 showdown is a pretty good deal for us.

Yeah, if the Cowboys are playing like they are at the moment and Warriors keep their form, Warriors are definitely going in as favourites. Though with the talent the Cowboys have they could turn hot very quickly.

God thing for the Roosters now is that it's all down to wins and losses...Our terrible points differencial means nothing now.

I really thought this was the week for the bubble to burst considering the way the Warriors have been playing...But it just took a bit of a squashing.

The tigers are going to come out fired up next week after that loss so i hope Freddy has them ready.

 

[MKEB...]

Pissed off that we didn't win. But not disappointed that we didn't lose.

One forward pass to try for us; to a dodgy binning that leads to two tries (and good tries they were).

All up, that was one of the best games, if not the best game, that I have seen all year.

 

[Paullyboy]

The Warriors were dudded horribly in that match. As has been said - both teams received dodgey calls, but the important one's at the end of the match all went the way of the Roosters.

As for the comment from a Warriors fan saying that it was the first time they'd seen Pricey blow up at a ref, hahah, surely you jest? He's probably the most likely man in the comp to blow up at a ref.

 

[Rovelli]

That Tigers-Roosters game will be a crucial game in the determination of playoff teams.

The Roosters are really coming home strong, but a loss may well kill off their chances, with just three rounds remaining after the Tigers game.

Similarly, Warriors-Titans is going to be a big game. We managed to win without Price (they didn't have Laffranchi or Bailey), but now they're back....and we're back at home.

You Rooster fans will be crowing for us to win that I'd presume, I don't think you'll catch us, but if we stop the Gold Coast from getting into a playoff position, that'll help you guys.

Good luck anyway.

Hmm

To be up 30-18 with about 12 minutes left and not win, that hurts.

To be down 0-16 after 25 minutes and not lose, we'll take the point.

We could've taken a FG when up 30-18...instead Perrett picked up a loose ball and ran 50 metres; Mannering gets binned etc...

Witt also missed a somehwat easier FG when we were up 30-24....mind you George Gatis was hit high by Craig Wing as he scooted from dummy-half.

 

[Tom Ace]

Fitzgibbons bombed try hurt us aswell. For the life of me i can't work out how he didn't catch that.

 

[Rovelli]

Roosters had the try-scoring opportunities in GP.

Paea didn't pass with an overlap.

Aubusson lost it with the line beckonning.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

why the f**k does anasta pass why doesnt he take the tackle, take the next and slot a field goal from 30? why the f**k do the pass out wide in first half of GP instead of shifting for a field goal. feels like a loss to me

 

[neeknitsuj]

Warriors deserve to win the premiership I'd reckon. Their bench is just as good as their starters, unlike Souffs. Roosters had the opportunities to seal the game while the Warriors didn't except for that McKinnion field goal attempt.

He's such an enigma.

He missed touch trying to chew up too much ground from a penalty; made some odd plays...then kicks an off-balance FG that nearly won the game

 

[Fast Eddie]

One of the most laughable decision was the last one, calling a knock on against McKinnon.:lol:

So does anyone think that Harrison will get anything for his little headbutt?

wtf

Warriors were 12 up with 10 to play

When we were on attack prior to the break that led to Mannering's binning, we should've taken the field goal and strolled to a 13 point win

 

[neeknitsuj]

I was talking about the extra time.

 

[Rovelli]

And also Witt choked on a FG to go 31-24 up.

 

[dice]

Who was the Warriors #16 with the affro? Roosters had no idea how to stop him.

 

[Moffo]

lauaki?

 

[Rovelli]

Yep

 

[Fast Eddie]

He had his best game in a Warriors jersey.
