Massive difference between this game and the earlier one... We will have to be close to our best to win but I certainly can't see us being smashed.

Great result from the Eels today gives us a little bit more breathing room to lose our remaining games, but I am confident we will come away with at least one win in the next two weeks. Take the time to have a good laugh at the Eels for dropping their lollies with possibly the easiest road into the Top 8 out of any of the teams in contention.

Doing well so far. Our last tackle options in the first twenty were absolutely atrocious. Brilliance by Cam and Billy is the only reason we aren't down... We did the right thing in the second twenty minutes, earning repeat sets but we just aren't looking dangerous.

Hopefully the extra defence down by the Roosters will have them a bit tired in the second half.

Jesse and Jordan look great. Making huge metres.

Slater returning the ball with pace. Best returns in a long time.

Why wasn't Jennings sent?
High tackle followed by an elbow to the back of the head (and I think that was what did the damage).

Oh wait, refs have no balls.

Well done Sisa, pretty much cost us a chance at a top 4 finish

To be fair on Sisa and i hate to say it but it was a shocking pass from Cam.

TC Jennings wasn't even penalised.

Turning point was Cameron's terrible pass from scrum. We should have been further in front at that stage. Can't believe final margin.

Roosters defence was very good.

Piss poor performance.
We had all the possession, all the field position and we couldn't finish it out.

With that much possession, we couldn't finish out. The roosters weren't that good and we showed everyone else how to beat us.

Not happy.

The pass was poor, but catchable to someone running onto the ball. Sisa didn't want to put his body on the line... yet again.

No matter who was at fault, that was the deciding point of the game.

We proved that we can hang with the best team in the comp. The loss is disappointing but I'm not shattered. We dominated most of the game, just came up with some very poor errors.

Dissapointing result but I saw enough to think we can compete with the best.
We had them up until the shocker between Cam and Sisa.
Next weeks game is huge!
