Roosters vs Titans match discussion

[mattyh]

Are there any positives ...???? We won i guess but seriously i was expecting us to flog em ...what was that ?

[Kelby]

Cummins had a massive influence. We were dumb, but Guerra, Napa and Tupou into the side will help and we may be missing Tetevano.

Spot on. I think he was put there to get the Broncos a home semi.
The NRL wanted a Brissy semi, bigger crowd, channel 9 Friday night darlings.....................................

But you can all get f$cked, we won.

The better the opposition, the better we play. We'll be much better next week. Today was the same as the last month -- good for 20 minutes, then put the cue in the rack and have a snooze.

I think thats a myth. We been smashed by the Sharks, Manly and the broncos.
The problem was that there was that the organisation was ineffective. If things don't work, we keep doing until it either works or fail.

We won ugly if that is positive i dont know. No injuries and hopefully toops back to crush the broncos the have a week off.... i luv it when a plan comes together go the chooks i can still smell a tittle in the air

Congratulation to the boys on finishing 2nd.We sent a message in the past few weeks that we fight till the very last minute and the other message we sent loud and clear is don't think you can beat us even if we commit 14 errors and you have 60% of the ball. Even against all odds we can still beat you so be warned.

Great control from junior to get that win, very composed.

Well if we ever needed complacency knocked out we got it today. But it was a pretty sad way to go into the finals. Let's hope Tetevano beats the wrap and we pull up injury free. I thought Ferguson and Manu were among our best and Gordon's kicking got us home in the end, Not for the first time either. But letting in three tries was a bad sign and the lack of attacking nous was alarming. Aubusson - two weeks in a row with no confidence to run to the line and impossible pases to Ferguson. Wasted opportunities went begging in the first half. Just terrible game management really..

We can beat teams against all odds. I think that worries a lot of top sides very much because they look to things like dominant possession or errors to win but we can win with less possession and heaps of penalties against us so I think we are a big worry to teams like Brisbane and Storm. Also we fight till the end.

Are you referring to that pass to Cordner to score?

[The Brain]

Did the ref cost us two tries -yes
Were we terrible - yes
did we make a thousand errors -yes
were we shit - yes
Was Pearce shit -yes but he made the play to win it which I was cracking up about.
Did we show at least true grit to win it in the end -yes
Has Tetevano go anything to worry about -I say no what great classic massive hit

In attack ,Maubs ,Latrell,Pearce and Gordan and throw in Taki are in not so good form...here lies the problem.

What is our record against top 8 teams?

We were a little frantic at times. Didn't play with a lot of patience. We'll be a lot better next week.

I love tittles.

Pretty much kept us in the game, had to do it on his own, not much help from keary or friend.

toops back next week is a must though.

We sent a very significant message that we can win against all odds even with Guerra, Napa and Toups still to return. I'm hoping our defense & attack will be ready for finals footy.

yes down 16-6 and they come back to win playing the type of footy they needed to play from the get go - would have made it an easier afternoon if they did- I think they are not good at backing up after big games as last weeks one against the Sharks was - complacency some might say too ?? the hardest games are against teams whose season is over and maybe they took this one a bit lightly and their minds where on next week too - only the players would know.

I would expect they would be really focused next week vs Bronco's - Gus tipped us saying we could play Brisbane on Anzac parade with a brick and still win - hope he's right
