Rnd 14 vs Roosters @ Allianz
Geez we're playing some bloody good football, from 1-17 everyone is playing their role and better across the board as a team for as long as i can remember. Number one in completion rates and by far the most miserly defence in the comp will go a long long way to winning the comp should we keep it up. Given the time of the year i'm sure we can expect the inevitable lull in form but that doesn't bother me in the slightest and to be honest i actually welcome it.
While i absolutely hate losing and while winning is great, it can also sometimes bring on a bit of complacency and it won't hurt us to lose a few from now until finals time to keep us honest so to speak. We lost 5 in a row in 2012 or 6 from 7 and we all know how that season turned out. IMO this team is a much better one overall and if we can stay relatively fit and keep up anywhere near close to how we've been playing then we're in this comp right up to our eyeballs.
EDIT: Just saw that Blair was charged with a grade 1 dangerous contact on Aubusson. While he won't miss any games with an early plea it's a bit rough to even cite him in the first place. It was unfortunate what happened to Aubusson but it was just part and parcel of the game and happens sometimes, certainly no need for any charge. Our player gets done for that yet another player deliberately stomps on a player and doesn't get so much as a warning. What a joke the judiciary is.

I saw in the NRL website a heading "Blair charged", I assume Adam Blair had done something wrong ! I did not think for a moment that Cheyse would be charged. When watching the game you usually get a good feel for whether one of our guys might be in trouble, but there was no inkling there might be an issue with Cheyse- and nothing from the commentators. Pathetic decision by NRL,
It is a tricky one as to whether we challenge. If we lose, he misses the next match. If we don't, he has 75 carry over points, and will get rubbed out if he commits even a minor offence. From memory, didn't Cam Smith miss a GF in 08 in that way ?

Well I have to add my bit. I thought it was an awesome TEAM EFFORT.They looked "On" from when they ran out. When Cam`s slippery kick sailed through I just knew we were going to win huge. THEN when fergo fell over his own feet well that sealed it for me.
NAS is not afraid of anyone,Cam Munster is awesome ,Dale Finucane is really impressing me, J&K Bromwich are always great, Suli is an excitement machine, Marika just keeps on giving 100%, Coops is so dependable, I would`nt mind if Ryan Morgan stays..I am SO IMPRESSED by our GREAT COACH even at half time he was ripping into his team which shows his passion for his team.

I feel that origin won`t affect us this season as it has in the past, our team is playing as a team and everyone has stepped up.Past seasons the team hasn`t had the experience to play without Cam,Billy and Coops but that isn`t the case this season.
