Round 18 v Easts

[Souths Till I Die]

With all the rumours that are circulating around Aaron gray right now I reckon he definitely needs to make an impact at centre. Give Souths an incentive to offer him a decent contract.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

That try seriously killed our momentum.

 

[Curns13]

Pathetic first 40. Just awful.

 

[Curns13]

The boys have to earn the right to play that football.

And they haven't.

 

[Travitoh]

We're forcing the play too much. Need to settle it down, build some momentum and then move the ball on the back of that

 

[Travitoh]

The positive - if we can settle it down a bit and complete our sets we will win this. They should've punished us but haven't.

 

[DiegoNT]

Positive- our defence has kept them to 8.

Negative- I know people want us to play like we did against the Panthers, with offloads and expansive play, but you have to earn the right to play that way. We have tried to play that way without earning the right. You have to run hard, get fast play the balls, get the other team on the backfoot and create momentum for your creative players to take advantage of. We have not done that.
Walker seems to be in one of his moods, playing for himself and not communicating.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

I've seen way worse first halves from Souths. Travitoh is right we just need to relax a little you can't put 40 points on your opponents each week.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

They just need to be told that there season is on the line. We lose this game and we haven't earned the right to be in the top 8

 

[Stan Dabovetherest]

I've seen way worse first halves from Souths. Travitoh is right we just need to relax a little you can't put 40 points on your opponents each week.

Agreed. after slow starts the last couple of weeks, we've come home strong. Commitment is defence is there. Signs of the roosters opening up through the middle. If we keep our heads we've got this.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

I reckon we've underestimated Cornish a hell of a lot. I know I have.

 

[Pommy]

We were second best by a good margin in that half so to be only 8 points down is a bonus.
Hopefully we've regrouped and can now push on, it's still a very winnable game.

 

[Travitoh]

We were second best by a good margin in that half

I disagree, apart from a 10 minute window when they scored and after, we've at least broken even. It's our errors and want to throw the ball instead of get it forward that is keeping us down at the moment. I'd liken it to the Titans game

 

[Souths Till I Die]

Farah you big nosed f**kwit I love you

 

[Curns13]

We came in entitled and have absolutely f**ked ourselves. Stupid penalty by Cody, another drop by Burns. We are beating ourselves with our moronic play.

 

[CAFPOW]

Tonight's a Shannon Hegarty tribute night? What's up with sideways running?

 

[Souths Till I Die]

GOODWIN!! GIVE THE MAN A 10 YEAR CONTRACT!!!

 

[Curns13]

That makes up for Goodwin's poor read on that first Roosters try. Great lead up work by Gus and a nice step and bit of pace from the old fella.

 

[Curns13]

Again, just stupid. 5 guys offside and inside the 10.

 

[Pommy]

If only Gi was fit he could kick us a field goal to level it.
