Roosters vs Broncos Match Day Thread

[Guest]

Interesting stats, sbw has run the most metres, watching the game I would have thought jwh for sure, and we lead 4-0 in line breaks, and 6-4 in the penalties....

JWS is leading, then SBW.

I thought our defense was pretty secure, granted the Broncos didn't really make it particularly hard, but still it deserves some recognition.

Our attack through general play is direct, simple and punchy. TR has got that part of our game right. Instead of the Smith classic of getting the outside backs to take the ball up, he has let the forwards do their job and generally they've been efficient and able to poke their heads through he defensive line. Our speed in the play the ball has worked well so far.

However our decision making in the last few tackles of sets and in the last 20 of the field could be better. Given our talents on the left edge I can understand our tendency to go there, but at times better options would have presented had they chosen to spread the ball right. Mitch and his perpetual inability to get repeat sets is an issue too.

If we don't win I'll be disappointed. We've got the greater capacity to score so hopefully they can make it happen.

If you look closely at the tackle of SBW on their line, he never lost the ball at all, he purposely rolled it backwards, but our blokes are still not fully aware of his bag of tricks, and weren't awake to it, so a chance went begging.

Pearce needs to follow wallace's kicking game

Good defense.

Great defence. Good communication, held a line, and great scrambling.

Tupou loses it again.... 10m out from our line.

[Spanner in the works]

Don't really rate Tupou much after the last few games. Lacks concentration and awareness.

Tupou can **** off to newtown for a few weeks till he learns how to catch and hold a ball properly.
