* As soon as Jake and JWH go off we lose so much...when they're there we are near impregnable.

* We played almost the perfect first half...two errors led to two tries unfortunately.

* Maloney probably motm. Great reply and coolness under pressure when it mattered.

* Someone needed to tell Mini that kick was outside the 40.

* We were out on our feet and I'm glad no golden point was needed.

* We are winners when it counts....be afraid South's.

* Toops and Pearcey...amazing skills.

* Jake...a phenomenon... But we knew.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate what do you say to that?

I know I am a glass 1/2 empty supporter of the Chooks & I wish I could feel confident in them but the team this year even though they are 1 game from the GF are just NO where near the 2013 team. I just cannot see them going beyond next week end.

When you are leading by 30 points the opposition should have no right to get themselves back into the game even if they have Thurston. You cant win comps when you let other teams get 30 points back on you, the Roosters defence is simply not good enough.

The last 3 weeks have been anything but convincing
22-18 over Souths, just won
21-20 loss to the Panthers,
31-30 over the Cowboys, just won
Those results are not good enough to win the comp.

I hope these blokes are happy, I'm sure I almost went into early labour tonight.

Id be happy to be hung out to dry here on the pen if the Roosters do what you think they can do.

theticket the thing about the Chooks this year even though they could possibly be in the GF is HOW?
They havnt played for a full 80 minutes once this year & I suppose they could play it like that again next week end & fluke it into the GF & then come out & play for the entire 80 minutes in the GF & win the thing but I cant see that.

that's exactly what im expecting micky!

Im not going to do it now But this should be funny to read through

[Chook Norris]

Momentum - mini drops the ball at the same time friend jwh and Moa are off - they get the momentum and we don't get it Back fro half an hour

We'll be right next week

Well i'm worried. We all keep saying she'll be right she'll be right next week

How and why do you think this? That's three games in a row now where we have let the opposition right back in into the match.

Against Souths round 26, leading.. let them right back into it
Against Panthers, leading, let them right back into it and they win in the last minute
Against Cowboys, leading by THIRTY. 30-0 and let them back in it

If this trend is anything to go by, we're fked next week. The boys need to stop thinking "WE'LL BE RIGHT" once they're in the lead

It's the same complacency which is SCREWING us over big time

JFC, I picked up souvenir copies of the Wentworth Courier for both you and Horrie Hastings as there was a great feature on Mini. He is this week's cover boy. Granted not as classy as the Townsville Bulletin, but we do have our newspapers sent in la de da wrapping over here..so I won't spill anything on them whilst I'm taking my IQ test this week..

It's the same complacency which is SCREWING us over big time

CN is it complacency or is it that th e collapse coincides with our interchange rotations?

Last night it was obviously evident that the collapse happened when

Jake -noted defender , smart dumbly half
JWH - go forward , tough man forward
Che - power defender, cover defender
Samoa- no nonsense meter eater , leg cutter

Were off at the same time .

2quick fixes
1. Mix up the interchange by staggering talent on roster
2. Interchange players have no time to blend into the game - mindset should be rip in straight away . Run hard and straight for 10 minutes so established players can play of a platform, tackle with venom and sting anything or anyone in front of you, indecision is the biggest eroder of team confidence in your positional ability.

Last night wasn't complacency - cowboys are a very good side who got momentum and the bounce of the ball for the second 30 minutes of the game.

We found a way to win - a lesser team loses in the last 20

We won, we are in the prelim, and we have the best roster in the comp back to full strength at the right time.

We have the chance to knock souths out and make the gf - I firmly believe we will take that.

We may be flawed but we are a champion team that is also full of champions

That's why I believe Mr Norris, I urge you to believe too :-)
