I forgot Anasta said that. Was great hearing a Roosters heavy call team have to praise the mighty Rabbits

An article on sporting news with Keary saying Cody Walker is disrespectful . I think Cody must have been getting under Cronk’s skin. I honestly can’t stand Keary anymore he truly is a rooster now.

'Disrespectful' Walker will get what's coming to him - Keary: https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/03/16...ful-cody-walker-will-get-whats-coming-to-him/

People want to bait me - Mitchell: https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/03/16/people-want-to-bait-me-latrell-mitchell/

The Roosters can piss off with these comments, seems to me like they're sulking because they know they were outclassed. It's all heat of the moment stuff and it's a bit rivalry, of course it's going to happen and if a few of your players have anger management issues, of course we're gonna bait them! Get over it.

After watching the replay, it's pretty clear that Bennett has tinkered with our attack slightly and I think it looks great!! It's true that there is less structure as there were less second man plays last night and we didn't go a block for block as much I noticed. I also think at times is was made kinda obvious when we were setting up for a play but that has been tinkered with and it is not as obvious now. Then of course our right is a lot more prominant now which is awesome.

I think the less structured style suits us down to a tee. we have so many players with X factor and allowing them freedom is already reaping rewards. Of course there is still structure there but it's just great that the plaers have a licence to play what they see!

I also didn't give enough credit to Liam Knight, he was friggin outstanding!! Played almost 40 minutes and made a huge contributuion!

Hope they keep up the post game injury report. It’s a nice touch to keep fans in the loop.

Great analysis of the game brother. I think you’re absolutely spot on. Our attack last year was great but it was actually predictable near the end. I loved the try that Graham scored off of us just throwing the ball around. It looked awkward at the time but looking at the replay it was just a great play.

Yea exactly!! I also loved all the angles the forwards were running through the middle.

Great start to the season. Watched highlights on nrl.com and was suitably impressed. Forgotten what a pain the -10hr time difference is.

Just a heads up to all. Our NSWCup side is on Ch9 today at 1:00pm Live. We are playing The Bears (Roosters) at Redfern Oval.

Cory Allen starting at FB. Old Redfern Oval looks like a swimming pool. Definetly no drainage happening out there.
