Round 16 - Roosters vs Broncos

[BruiserMk1]

I still haven't seen an obstruction on any of those replays.

Yet he blatantly misses JWH holding Kennedy down by his shirt to earn a 6 again...FMD

 

[rnabokov]

One game doesn't make him a 6. If it was in his game somebody would have been developing him there by now. He isnt an organiser either. We just need to get him better service edge running. Its where he is the most devastating.

He would be even better with space. His ability to beat a defender on either side is stunning, acceleration and fend.

 

[Wolfie]

We cant keep playing a 22 year old for 80 mins. Carrigan is going to be finished as a player if we dont manage him better.

 

[Culhwch]

Forcing yourself to watch this team play should be classified as a form of self harm.

Not all is lost
We won the last 13 minutes of the half

 

[winslow_wong]

There is a bit to build on next year, so start from next week:

2. Coates
5. Farnworth
6. Staggs
7. Dearden
8. Haas
12. Oates
13. Carrigan

Everyone can have someone in front of them for all I care.

Who takes Staggs spot at centre though?

 

[rnabokov]

Dearden work early in sets has been poor. If he is getting involved he needs to pull forwards with him not stand flat like under 7s

They're not interested

 

[McHunt]

Don't need an organiser we have Dearden, just have him playing like he does in centre from 2nd receiver with the option of kicking.

We could do without him turning the ball back inside to forward muppets who can’t hang onto it.

 

[Mustafur]

If Farnworth puts a few kgs on in the off season he will be such a unit for centre, he is Taller then Manu.

 

[Wolfie]

Don't need an organiser we have Dearden, just have him playing like he does in centre from 2nd receiver with the option of kicking.

He wont ever be a half or a fullback apart from in emergencies. He doesnt have the game for it. I've seen enough of him since he came through at Redcliffe to confidently say its not going to happen.

Next year, Bird. This year, no idea.

Oates? Yuck.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Spot on mitch222. All the Broncos have done is lure the Roosters into a false position of power in this match. But just you see in the second half when with 20 minutes to go the Roosters declare at 60+

 

[Scorchie]

Who takes Staggs spot at centre though?

Boyd. Realises he’s played 13 games so activates another 12M to mentor the younglings

 

[Aldo]

Still Seibs, his team, his coaching staff. Problems aren't going to disappear because he has left the building.

Aware of that mate. Was just throwing out a shitty joke.

 

[Brocko]

Not excusing our defence or efforts in defence, but look at the state of the game with some of the 6 agains the roosters get vs the work in the ruck on us when we have the ball. Multiple times Boyd has been at hooker complaing about ruck speed but on the other hand JWH just holds onto us and gets a 6 again....

 

[Sproj]

If Farnworth puts a few kgs on in the off season he will be such a unit for centre, he is Taller then Manu.

I don't mind the idea of seeing what he has at fullback.

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

He is only coasting out there though. He is only giving it about 70% effort and wishing this pathetic season away.

Based on that percentage are you saying he is playing like a $875,000 player then?
Million dollar players are consistent and put in effort no matter what or who they are playing for. You can't switch on and off attitude and effort like that. In fact, it will be harder for him next year given that every forward is going to go after him the way Hargreaves did at the start of the game and it obviously effected him. The titans have put a massive target on his back, and so far he has shown it isn't going to sit well with him...
