Round 16 Sydney Roosters Vs Sharks Discussion thread

we are ****ing shit. fantastic enthusiasm in defence in cronulla's half is not matched by enthusiasm or competance on our own danger zone. once they get to our end they are almost guaranteed to score. they will open us up in the second half.

Such a clueless side.......FPN is an idiot, a penalty 3 out from half-time when they are on their 3rd tackle 20 out from their own line - this kind of shit is unforgettable.

Once again we are the better side and will gift the two points to the opposition like the last two matches.

There is just too many fundamental mistakes.

Our forwards ARE laying a great platform for us. Our defence down THEIR end of the field is outstanding. But the moment they are in our 20, panic alert! Our defense gets shot to shreds, our wingers forget to defensively compete for the Sharks attacking bombs, we fail to wrap up the ball, and our little men get isolated over and over again.

The only way we can win is by being completely penalty free and keeping them in their half, which we did for the majority of the half.

In attack, there are good signs for little result. Cherrington and Symonds hit holes at speed, Sa and Nuuausala promote second phase play, Friend's service is getting better, and Pearce actually is trying the grubber for repeat sets today, which is a miracle.

Golden pumpkin for Cherrington, for that absolute panic play, and to Mitchell Aubusson for that SHOCKER of a defensive read that left Pearce and Earl stranded. Wraps to Perrett, Fitzgibbon, Paea, Shackleton who are having a dig. Nuuausala was doing great, but that was an effin' stupid penalty.

Second half coming soon...

Is it any coicindence every time a gaping hole opens it's bloody Fitzgibbon who gets to run through it? WHERE ARE YOU PEZ AND HALVES BACKING UP THE LINE BREAKS!?

We are sooooooo poorly coached.

P.S - Can we PLEASE win a damn penalty count? Once again just one penalty in the half when I saw at least 2 blatant tackles when the marker was nowhere near square for the Gups, it's ****ing frustrating shit.

[Guest]

well at least we got the opening try in the second half.

[roostwin]

And then another one.Back to back OUtstanding

[Guest]

**** ME BACK TO BACK TRIES.

Is it any coicindence every time a gaping hole opens it's bloody Fitzgibbon who gets to run through it?

that's obviously a coached play, fitzy running back inside off pearce.

[Guest]

18-12 to the roosters but i dont want to get too excited

[Guest]

good running. this is what we need. can also hear the pen getting into it, good job boys.

[roostwin]

Fitzy as Captain seems to get the forwards motivated to keep hitting the ball up.

[roostwin]

The ABC call are giving it to us about laying on the players and being off side constantly in defence.

[Guest]

We are going to miss Shack seriously. He is playing a bliiiinder.

[Guest]

I just saw mason get tackled round hte legs, so non-dominant, the bloody sharkies player well after the ref calls held, drags him around 90 degrees, wheres the damn penalty?

[Guest]

a shocker of a ball from dummy half.

funny thing on the first tackle i saw a try go begging IF ONLY the inside pass was thrown!!!

and fitzy straight off the field to the dressing rooms.

[Guest]

Refs making rules up as they go. Knock on at dummy half and penalty because second marker wasn't square even though it had no bearing.
