WOW! 4-0 great defense by both teams.

[bellyache]

Thats what happens when the 2 best defensive teams in the comp meet in the finals.... God help Sharks and Rabbitohs, Manly are going to be hard to beat..

 

[BranVan3000]

Manly are definitely the favourites for the comp now

 

[dragon_around]

Terrible attack from both teams....

 

[some11]

Terrible attack from both teams....

Because their defence was as good as each others.

 

[wittyfan]

Neither could score a root in a brothel imo.

 

[Springs]

Great goal-line defence by the Roosters yeah.

Manly stuffed up so many plays it wasn't funny. In the second half the Roosters couldn't get over the 50 and then let Manly right back into their half with penalties or poor kick chases.

Honestly, defence = brilliant, attack = average

Both Souths and Melbourne have much better attack than what was seen tonight, but neither have as good defence.

 

[BranVan3000]

67% completion, 17 errors, 0 tries.

Great attack Manly

Great attack Manly

Great defense by both teams, Easts have held both Rabbits and Manly to 0 in 120 mins of footy..

 

[TheDalek079]

I dunno....bulldogs force is still not sold on the Roosters.

 

[Springs]

67% completion, 17 errors, 0 tries.

Great attack Manly

Terrible figures no matter how good Roosters defence is.

Tiz amasing to see what Defensive pressure can do..

Most of them were dropped cold. Watmough for example. And twice Manly made a break then stupidly passed it to a Roosters player.

Realistically. It shouldn't do that.

The first half was a phenomenal clash, but Manly were abysmal in the second half and only maintained possession cause Roosters were making just as many errors

I hate to agree with the ponce above you, believe me .However I do think that tremendously good defence breeds frustration that produces these sorts of things.

 

[Aragorn]

first half was sensational to watch. intense.

second half the errors and penalties started piling and the game turned sticky.

I would have loved it if the game opened up in the second half.

4-0 was good for one half of footy - not two.

Rnd 26 2nd half... Defense by Easts caused Rabbits to make plenty of errors and ultimately Rabbits go frustrated and couldn't score... Whats your point?

It does but these weren't the results of frustration. Several others were but not all.

More like Burgess and Walker f**ked up two certain tries. After that, yeah, Easts defence was good.

Desperation breeds mistakes..

 

[miguel de cervantes]

Roosters very, very good in defence. No ifs or buts about it.
