Rd 15 vs Parramatta
My first attended game this year (after being O/S for 10 months). A good game to see first up but damn our defense in the last 5- 10 minutes is almost guaranteed to give up a try.
No idea why it happens then, but it does.
Slater played a blinder, not only his tries but those assists.
Sandow is rich asking how much we paid off the refs.
Hopefully we can now move past our rough patch and find some form. Especially good to see we gained some points in the differential.
Hayne was surely still drunk from Origin, he had a shocker.

I really like Junior Moors and he played well today. His offloads were awesome. Shame he is leaving.
That was Hinchy's best game for a while. I thought Hampton was solid the run to set up one of Billy's tries and a bomb which set up another try.
Roberts looked good again today. Billy was sensational. Great to see Jordan score a try.
Kurt played another good game. Not only did he score twice but he made a number of big tackles particularly on Hayne.

Ben Roberts again very good and can't think of a blunder from him.
Really wish our left side defense would move up and shut down defenders like our right who were shaky too tbh.
McLean should start every game and and Hinchcliffe was a star today.
Great win and without Cronk is very impressive and gives us fans so much more hope.

sisa saved a couple of certain tries in 2nd half, really helped us hang on, if he'd held onto one of those balls though he could've gone the length of the field untouched.
billy was back!
mann is gonna be something special.
jesse is an absolute beast.
hinchy was at his absolute zippy best today.
roberts seems to have found a new lease on life this season.
harris is a workhorse who can occasionally produce something spectacular on top of it.

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that tohu harris is only 22. Such an old head on young shoulders. Great game by him and the rest of the forwards.
More games like this and the Hampton haters will all but have vanished. The Roberts haters are almost gone from the off/pre-season
Young T and Mann combination looked very sharp today! I hope CB can create a decent combination with these guys from early days.

I echo STORMMAN. If we don't retain Roberts I reckon it'll be a huge mistake. He's superb defensively for a half, has a good kicking game, especially short kicking, is strong in the running department (this has always been his forte) and his decision making is only going to get better the more he's associated with three of the best football brains in the game.

Not to toot my own horn or anything but I've been saying since we signed him that Roberts would thrive in Melbourne 
In all seriousness though it's great to see him playing well and starting to silence his critics. The judgement he gets from playing in a team that was as bad as Parra is vitriolic to say the least. Definitely agree he should be re-signed, at the very least as depth. I know some one said the Roosters were chasing him but given that he really looks like he's starting to enjoy himself I'm sure if we put out a reasonable offer he'd stay.

I have said from the beginning that we shouldn`t be so hard on Ben Roberts. he came from crappamatta under ricky(I could kill any players ability)stuart. Under Craig (I can make anyone a better player) Bellamy he has found out what it is like to be coached properly and learn how to utilize his skills well. Ben is looking more confident and comfortable every game with knowing he can count on his fellow team mates instead of the headless team mates he used to play with at crappamatta.(due to stuart)
This season doesntmatta has been playing with some purpose now that they have a coach who is interested and knows what he is doing. Poor raiders they are fast becoming the new cellar dwellars cos of stuart.
Good luck for the rest of the season Benny.
