Luke got off. I only saw the incident once when I commented before but must admit that, after looking at it several times, I can honestly see why he kicked out. He was in an awkward position and it was a reaction. It was not your usual player kicking out, over exaggerating. If that was the case, why is there no charge on Ennis? You see all these crusher type charges lately, does this come under that sort of category? Who knows.....He probably should have been charged for NOT connecting with Ennis....
Very concerned about Jake Friend's injury. Had my reservations about this guy earlier on but, to his credit, has knuckled down and turned into a fine player. No incidents off the field and very solid performer on the field and will be missed by the Roosters. Wish him a speedy recovery.
Now having Luke off, Sutton back, it gives us a chance v Roosters but we will have to be on our game for full 80 minutes to upset them. They were impressive in the way they hung in there against the Storm and eventually cleaned up at the end with their patience winning in the end. Pierce was impressive in this game.
Roosters have a very good side and will be a great match to watch. Just hope we get some decent referees for this one, you certainly hope so given the rubbish we got last week v Bulldogs.
