Vs Roosters 🐓 Rd 6 2022

[Philip_Smith007]

Well our first test against a BIG club.
$5 outsiders and Roosters celebrating their 20th anniversary of 02 win against us.

Pretty big up hill battle with some of the outs and Arthars marking Manu. Suaalii back on wing as well.

Need all the 50/50s to go our way!

Have a family Easter gathering so will catch the Kayo later.

 

[Tongue]

Loving Pene today.

 

[Benek]

Was I the only one thinking that last pass from the Roosters was forward?

 

[Penrose Warrior]

It's absolutely crazy that's a penalty and on report. Absolute insanity.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Why are we bombing to Tupou? He's the best in the comp in the air.

 

[Blair]

8-6, us. Halftime.

 

[Blair]

If we hold on it might just ignite our season. If we lose we might hear our coach say, 'we're not far off'.

I never want to hear those words from a Warriors coach again.

 

[Blair]

Ironically, we led 8-6 around halftime in the '02 GF, which they're commemorating today.

We all know how that scoreline panned out.

 

[Blair]

Bugger, Walsh's second-half kick-off out on the full.

Now a penalty in front, 8-all.

 

[Blair]

Will the Roosters resort to their 'power game', through the middle?

 

[Blair]

Nearly twenty minutes gone in second-half and I'm not hearing Johnson's name mentioned much.

 

[Blair]

Zelesniak seems a bit of a liabilty thus far. He dropped that bomb cold, Naiqama pounced, there goes our lead.

They look stronger now.

 

[Burns]

That's a pretty bad error. Had been an average second half, had plenty of opportunities on Roosters line.

 

[Blair]

Nikorima brought on early to 'spark something'. But he's not up to the task, is he?

 

[Benek]

Our defense keeps showing up, but little else is going well in this second half.

 

[Benek]

This ones over now I think. Two quick tries by the chooks and it’s slipping away.

 

[Blair]

This ones over now I think. Two quick tries by the chooks and it’s slipping away.

20-14 but.

However, they're pounding our line and we keep making errors. That arthars knock-on a metre out from our line, sheeesh.

 

[Benek]

Warriors getting nothing from this ref!

 

[Burns]

CHT defence is possibly best in the league

 

[Blair]

Old mate the Bunker, eh? With the game on the line, they win a CC against a Chooks' knock-on. Where was Chanel's foot supposed to go?

22-14, them. Nine mins left.
