LIVE GAME Round 18 v Roosters live game discussion

[Batmans Parents]

Why is Pole so quite after a rip roaring start to the season

WTH are you talking about??

14 runs, 171m, 68 PCM.

Watch the damn game before commenting.

 

[Speed2burn]

Pole 14 runs for 170 meters
May 18 runs for 206 meters

Both were on a mission, particularly in that 1st half. What’s more impressive is their post contact meters

 

[Tucker]

I thought he was outstanding today.

Yeah he played well today.

 

[Lukic]

Hope and Murray both played well. They look like solid NRL players you need to fill out the squad. Once he builds himself up, Murray is going to be even better.

Murray definitely needs to fill out if he continues to tackle up high. Hope was excellent defensively.

 

[Tucker]

I'm hoping Latus shoulder was just a burner and To'a isn't too banged up.

To’a certainly looked hurt. He was barely even playing for most of that second half.

 

[weststigerman]

If we beat Warriors next week we will set ourselves up for 3 in a row against the Titans at Leichhardt.

I can see us beating Warriors but losing to the Titans in this scenario.

 

[Lukic]

Our entire pack was great. Albeit it was a weakened Roosters pack, but at least they've shown that ability to really take over.

Both Fainu's in the forwards were immense, May exceptional as usual and a great bounce back from Pole.

Anyone know if To’a’s arm was strapped at the start of the game? It was heavily strapped in the second half.

You stuck with teams in the NRL when your pigs play like that. No silly errors from Twal or Seyfarth either.

 

[Demps]

I thought Hope played a lot like Api.

He made some great tackles.
Loved to see it.

That ref needs to get banned whoever told Tedesco to change his mind. That is blatant cheating, cheating scumbag

They allowed them to watch the replay before challenging also.

Sione Fainu’s ability to hit and spin is something else .. he is near impossible to stop close to the line. He may be the lesser one of the brothers but he definitely puts in every week. I’d have him in my 17 every day

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Even more pleasing than Latu standing up was how good Sam was. His best game all year, and a rewind to how good he was last year. He’s going to be a star.

 

[Stevec]

2nd half
Errors Roosters 7 Tigers 1
Probably won us the game

 

[madgey76]

Only concern from my pov latu was very quite in the 2nd half, great 1st half but went Mia in the 2nd, but he got injured saving that try in the corner his defence is rock solid

 

[cktiger]

Great game from AD … can see Parra and a few other teams offering him a lot, lot more than he’s on here.
To be fair he’s backed himself and you couldn’t begrudge him.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Laulilii brothers were out of their depth. Too early for them. Luke especially is 18 and needs more time in the lower grades.

Next week Doueihi hopefully back to the centres and a key weakness in defence goes away.

To be fair to Luke L - he isn't a centre - But having just watched Big Makasini's highlights from yesterday's KOE game we are gonna have no problems at Left Centre once he is eligible to play 1st Grade. Luai, Sam Fainu, Makasini and Skelton will take us into this year's GF for sure.

Not Luke’s fault at all, he was up against it when he was selected there.

It’s a matter of time for Makasini but the NRL is still a huge step up from NSW Cup.
