2012 - Round 5: Sydney Roosters v N.Z. Warriors @ Allianz Stadium (Match thread)

[Guest]

We have a habit of allowing soft tries just before 1/2 time...Here's hoping we don't allow another ...

It did cost us a try but why the hell are wankers like 'Watnow' allowed to get away with it EVERY game? Its us... its a pentalty. Its them... its ok!

Warriors have been poor that's why we're up.... Can not afford any more stupid errors...

[Chester County]

Great half of football from Easts with exception of Tasi's silly, lazy penalty. Defense immense and Pearce having a great game...

Go Easts!!

JWH KENNEDY PEARCE AUBO N MINI
IMO they are the difference ATM playing awesome... JWH is playing outta he's skin we can't let him go

[Danish]

Ant Mitchell is so far superior to Friend it is embarrassing.

Why did he come off? Mitchell has to wave the trainer away because they were calling for him to come off at the line drop out.... The line drop out that he eventually scored from!

Friend better be off 10 mins into this half. Our attack will suffer if friend plays the majority of the 2nd half

[Fairfax]

Did JWH just play 40 minutes? That's awesome for a prop.

Ant has been fantastic, great spark and enthusiasm. Passes have been sticking (for the most part) and Mini is hitting holes and looking dangerous. We scored early and got confidence from it.

Did Friendy reject your proposal for friendship? Are you not in his group of mates?

MK 9 runs for 91m & 11 tackles..

Maubs 1 try,1 linebreak & 5 tackle busts..

Taka 1 try assist & 4 offloads..

SKD 1 try,1 linebreak & 6 Tackle busts..

Ye playrd the whole half is having a blinder

Some good signs. Especially happy with their level of confidence which seems to be sky high despite last weeks drubbing. The last thing you want out of a young team is for them to go into their shell so if they're going to play free and expansively I'll cop the occasional dropped ball and mistake.

Pearce, Maubs, SKD, Mini - their side is by far the most dangerous. Pearce has control of this game and Anasta's influence has been pretty null and void. Love watching Mitchell spark up - what he offers to the side is completely different to Friend and I like that contrast. That being said, we were in an attacking period when he was taken off and I don't think that was necessarily the correct move.
