Prelim Final

This red zone attack is doing my head in still. Individual efforts making things happen instead of any set play.

Bloody great response for us though. Forty minutes to close it out.

If we get through to the GF, we probably have to do it without NAS, which is a massive shame.

I assume we see NAS in a suit at the judiciary this week trying to get off.

It was upper chest / front shoulder, rather than a swinging arm or any kind of careless attempt. And Collins’ head bounced into NAS. Very unfortunate.

Atkins having an absolute mare, paps far from his best but doing everything that can be asked of him and more which is what we need and just might be enough in 24

[yanjarra]

Personally don't think that effort from nas is worth losing a gf over, but it'll.probbaly happen, the games gone mad afterall

Who comes in? Laz I guess? A sneaky faalongo wild card?

The effort from howarth to support paps and then finish off 20 restart..

Phenomenal signs from the young man in a big game

Soft sin bin. Collins twisting and falling.
Thought the Harry 'strip' was a bad call, and King being penalised for standing in the ruck will do me. Roosters constantly offside on their own line.

Thought Paps should have made the tackle and stopped Toupu. Other than that and Atkins I'm fairly happy.

Second half - come on Storm.

And by the way, Atkins; Get 'em onside you idiot!

I love the maturity and execution Papenhuyzen had there.

He could have tried to fend off and burn Young but knew Howarth was on the left. Executing that pass isn’t easy either.

Howarth’s also a very special player I feel. We’re only seeing a glimpse of what he’s capable of.

Roosters player laying in the ruck. Harry almost knocks it on. Play on.

[yourhero]

So Roosters score there. Pretty soft. But what was the 6 again for????

[Papenhuyzen23]

Awful from us there in defence, Tui weak attempt, Paps and Loiero both slid out to the wrong side and made no effort to get back over. Pretty poor.

[yourhero]

Paps dropping that cold. So, so disappointing.

[Papenhuyzen23]

What are we doing? Tools down after that penalty goal? Wake up!

[yourhero]

And we almost concede a third in a row… What has happened?

[yourhero]

Thank god for that. Stems the haemorrhaging.

[blazza18]

The boys on the pod always mention how hard it is when the opposition gets on a roll.

Love our response tonight but would like us to tighten things up defensively.
