Match thread; RND 12 Roosters v Raiders

[fletch]

solid first half by the NYC boys up 24-4 at the break, even better when 4 of our better prospects are not playing in Hastings/Meehan/Thomas/Leuluai.

also impressed by the composure of Milne, makes very good defensive decisions and has a great combination with Goodsell.

[fletch]

really looking forward to seeing Meehan up against the Mounties forward pack today, some names in that side headlined by Tom Learoyd Lahrs/Langi Setu/Jake Foster.

Well that's hopeless from Mellor in the vidiot box, arm clearly grounded with a defender in contact, deadest cheating.

its a worry when they start ignoring black and white rules, there is no room for interpretation in that rule.

I remember why I stopped the watching the NYC now, this isn't football, it's just nonsense.

not sure we deserved to win that one but will take the 30-29 win.

we barely touched the ball in the last 30 minutes after that dodgy Canberra try, penalty count must have been 5 or 6 nil against us in that same period.

Neither team deserved to win, it's bipolar dribble the NYC.

This Jets pack may be the biggest pack ever, just huge.

Meehan goes okay, but fark Newtown are soft in defence..

nice try by Moga

Meehan and houma are guns! Gotta be keepers. Dont see anythin special about tamata

[fletch]

nice try by Moga

you can see he is slowly getting his confidence back,nice stutter step to score that try, still hasn't regained that explosive burst yet, hopefully he is given 1 more off season here to really show what he has got.

not sure what Meehan's contract status is but if he is not signed up for the next 3-4yrs we are crazy, he might not play many more games this year due to Commonwealth Games boxing commitments but for an 18y/o he has the world at his feet if he continues to work hard.

[fletch]

excellent last 60 minutes from Newtown, forward pack was beastly, Meehan 19 hitups was outstanding.

really surprised some other NRL sides haven't approached Houma, would be very handy off the bench now he has got his fitness level up.

[Guest]

After letting in 3 very soft try's, the Jets defence was really good..

[John Corey]

Dangerous game this one. That Raiders side looks very strong. Gotta be at our best.
