Haha I was just thinking the same thing as I was scrolling down. Still a really good team despite the injuries and retirements.

Yes, I think so too. Take them lightly at your peril.

Looks like the refs aren't playing 6 again for holding on for too long in the tackle. They can't start to pay them now because they've missed countless opportunities to pay them against the Roosters so far! What do you guys think?

JAC is such a point of difference.

It's such a shame to see him go.

He is in the champion Storm player echelon.

Defence the highlight for mine. Gave away nothing.

Jesse continually looks like our worst middle. Finucane on the other hand is really making it a tough choice to let him go.

Game is so broken for mine. So many of these 6 agains coming out of trouble really don’t help the attacking team at all.

To think we are missing our two best players (in my opinion) and our most impactful prop…

The rule where they got to replay the last tackle is a disgrace

I know, right?! I was totally expecting a late try with all of the possession the Roosters had down our end in those last few minutes - maybe something out on the wing with JAC coming off early - but the guys seemed to be really focused and intent on keeping the Roosters at 0, which was awesome to see!

Absolutely brilliant.

Kept the Roosters to the Duck egg or should that be Chook egg?
