In our defence, the Roosters put us under a lot of pressure early with JWH, Napa and Moa all starting. They bullied us early, it was almost on par with the Cowboys running Scott, Jummy and Lolol.
I think we rushed our plays off the back of that in an attempt to get ourselves back into the game.
The first few sets are so crucial to us. We need some powerful edge running, particularly from Thaiday, Gillett and Oates, make some quality metres, kick early if we need to and chase hard. If we can get that happening, we'll have the early momentum necessary to execute without pressure.
yeah i dunno, even if you could keep that kind of perfomance and standard up for 6 months with 3+ S.O.O. reps (which the Storm shows isnt sustainable) the opposition would adapt more quickly and develop appropriate tactics.
plus it'd be tough to get up like that for a team travelling like the Roosters in general, let alone after a triumph at AAMI
great to hear though Joe that this could be a tactic over the next month... **** we looked the goods when we pulled it out at AAMI last year too

I'm assuming the intensity we showed in the Storm game would be difficult to maintain for a long period of time.

Yeah, I noticed that.
I saw Kahu walking back to the wing and Milford taking the kicks..
Perhaps Bennett is trying out new kickers to see who is going to take over next season. Or maybe Kahu has an injury there that is preventing him from kicking.
But I'm assuming Parker will be kicking tomorrow night.

I reckon Parker kicks em better with warm legs... I reckon Milf or Kahu will take the first 1 or 2 then hand it ove to Parker... Just a theory

Josh Hoffman's step has been rather effective this year, he set up a try against the Dragons with a brilliant step and broke through and then passed to Nathan Peats I think it was. So maybe he doesn't need to pass

I just want to say - **** I'm glad it's Pearson coming into the team and not Maranta.

The game against the Dragons a couple of weeks ago was in shithouse conditions and it was Hunts kicking game that won that game

BOM (if it counts for anything) shows 80% chance of 1-5mm. So there's some solace that we shouldn't cop too much.
They predicted rain for Origin 2 and it was peachy, so hoping we get a repeat.
Think we can take them either way but a dry track should make for a better showing.
