I must've watched a different game

[zac]

But Steve Renouf was a gentleman who played fair and square, not an ounce of grub.

Munster on the other hand, despite his talent, is a despicable diving cheat with no integrity or sportsmanship. He elbows players in the face while they are pinned down by a tackle and he kicks people in the head while they're on the ground.

ACL please.

Only if I actually cause it to happen.

only courage things was we stopped leaking after they put in 28

[SamKerrSimp]

How do you know that?

Well for a start our crowds plummet when the team does even remotely poor

[SamKerrSimp]

Am I allowed to call you a dropkick?

I was at Henson Park for every home game in 1990. I know what it's like to support the Roosters during the dark days.

Were you around for those memorable performances?

Who cares about what you did 33 years ago, I was a toddler in 1990 but I went to every home game and most away days in 2009 do I get a special award for doing that?

I’m not certain you’ve progressed much since then.

I agree. Yeah we dropped a lot of ball but we do that at times. When a team like Storm complete at 90% we were never going to win.
But I thought our defence was real solid. Manu back at centre and Lodge, Crichton and Brown to come in our defence looks rock solid going forward.
They handled the conditions perfectly. Onto next week.

Which begs the questions:

WHY don't WE complete at 90%?
WHY don't WE handle the conditions perfectly?

I thought that was one of our most courageous displays.

Melbourne had 50 plays in our 22 while we only had 14. They had over 60% of possession and territory apparently. It felt more like 70:30. I've seen them put 50-60 on teams with such numbers, even with a neutral ref.

The 2 players I feared tonight were kept relatively quiet - Olam and Hughes (this bloke always scores the match winning try against us. A Roosters junior as well!). Hutch helped keep Olam quiet for most of the game. He made a couple of bad reads, but I reckon his positives in defence outweighed the negatives.

Manu looked dangerous every time he touched the ball.

I haven't seen the replay yet, but I'm pretty

4 of the 5 Melbourne tries were preceded by a 6A, penalty, sin bin or an incorrect knock on call.

Also, 3 of their 5 tries came from kicks from memory because they couldn't get through our D. Tupou's and Butcher's 'lost'ball was actually a Melbourne hand/strip and should have been a penalty. Looking at you Grant and Munster. If it was the other way, 1000% we would have been penalised.

6A rule is an utter and absolute disgrace.

Klein is an even greater disgrace.

Proud of my team tonight. Easts to win.

I asked mrs bb about this...she agrees with you.

More than a few people agree with this.

Well..."hard and fair" fans can't really be criticised for thinking like that....wishing injury to certain players.
Injury that would give them time away from the field to reflect.

[The Monk]

Munster is a freak, just like Renouf.

To think, a decade ago, Hutchison was the starting 5/8 for the junior Kangaroos and Munster was on the pine.

Munster is very over rated.

[Bruce Pickett]

Munster is very over rated.

I can't agree Melonious.

But I agree we need another Churchillian speech. Especially before we play Penrith, Melbourne and Souffs.

Mrs BB is wise.
