Paps had three players to choose from there for a try. Bombed big time.

Or the 3 passes on 2 block runners we do on every penalty restart and end making 0 metres each time we do it, boggles my mind.

Nice finish there from Katoa lot of strength to get that one down.

Klein. “Nelson is trying to get up to run there”

Blood. Boiling.

I know right, the guy taking the tap is better off running forward, but, they want the ball centre off field.
Earlier game this season Meaney took every tap and ran it forward, obviously a coaching ploy in that game.

Weird first-half.

I think some of the passing has been a bit erratic. Katoa and Papenhuyzen have had a few moments which probably should have been finished off.

That goal-line defence to finish the half was outstanding though.

Going to need more from the pack once the Roosters starting forwards and Smith come on though.

Plenty of WTF decisions going both ways.

Teddy has the ref in his pocket, throwing himself over, 1 penalty and 1 six again.

Can the refs sort out whether or not a player is actually trying to get up and run or play the ball? That one on NAS was insane. 6’9 dude on one knee at the try line is probably not looking to gain metres there.

Sloppy half. A bit wasteful. Not sure why Munster is so quite and we need Paps to play straighter (and not blow tries).

Also, Andrew Voss is a dribbler. Just noting what people probably already knew. Spouts utter nonsense.

Some pretty average football, I don’t know how we are in front.

Munster has been off looks very tentative, the right edge has been struggling again, and the errors and discipline have been a problem too. Paps looks devoid of any confidence for some reason, that bombed try was just perplexing not sure what he saw or what he was thinking.

Positives we have been gritty in defence, Hughes is far and away our best player now, Harry has been good in the trenches as has Loiero who has been doing a lot of good clean up work. Warbrick has been pretty poor again but I’ll give him this he is getting stuck in, taken some very tough runs coming out of trouble, putting his hand up to try and make amends.

We can only get better in the 2nd half, we still are yet to really click this season, it has to be coming soon.

Here's another of those things that we're just not "professional" with. Kicking down the right side, bring the left footer (Munster) across and the opposite applies to the other side

Trent left on the ground and unable to take part in the tackle 3 times first half

And poor Chan, looks too much like Trent!

We've sure done more than enough to be further in front at half time, Bellamy's message will be patience.

So biased, has hated Melbourne forever

We’ve done a good job on Manu & Suaalli, I’ve been really impressed with that edge this year, Blore Smith and Coates have all been very good defensively.
