Brandon Smith deserves an enourmous rap. I felt like he basically kept us in a lot of that first half.
Aside from him, Manu, Tupou, Suaalii, May, Crichton, Radley were all outstanding, and I thought Watson and Keary were quietly strong as well.
Did tip the Roosters to win this one, but with 10-minutes to go and ahead by 8, I said to myself "It would be such Roosters fashion to concede a try and then defend our goal line at the death"... Lo and behold.
Haven't read the other comments in the thread yet, but I had huge question marks over a few calls, as usual. Surely, the non-penalty on the high contact from Collins cannot be correct? If I drop the ball and then someone preceeds to shoulder me in the head, am I not right in assuming that foul play will take precedence? If not, that should be adjusted immediately.
To be fair, we got away with a few forward passes, but my goodness, it's incredible that we can win the meterage battle that hard and receive borderline 0 6-agains.
Anyway, very strong effort from the boys. I thought it was a fairly high quality game to be honest, and the better side won. Hard to beat the Knights with their fans going off like that. Very important win from us, although I would say it was won more so on effort than good football.
