NRL Round 7 - Roosters Vs Knights - 2:00pm Sunday, 19th April - Allianz Stadium

[listo]

Might have a few more points in us this year, but we’re still the same dumb team we’ve always been

 

[Die Hard]

First half will be great to watch later, fmd, absolutely pathetic second half

 

[KriKri]

A disgraceful performance. I’m ashamed of that second half display today. They proved that they could do it in the first half and they gave up. I’m disgusted

 

[knights80]

Unfortunately we have played possibly one of our best halves first half And worst half all year in second half
No ball control, quite a few forward not willing h to do hard stuff in second half and some players awfully rusty like sharpe and dyl

Just write it off and hope next week is better

 

[Henry01]

Can we stop trying to turn Dylan Brown into a halfback and put him back in his natural position at 6 and let Sandon Smith be our organising 7.

I want to see Brown 6, Sandon 7 and KP 1. When Kalyn returns I want to see this spine get some reps. I believe this is our best spine moving forward. I happy to be proven wrong.

 

[Maxibon]

Did we have zero tackles in the Roosters 50m all 40 minutes of the second half?

 

[frankLauda]

Brown looked under done that game

 

[Mclovin]

Seriously what's the point of a touchie with how many ball get thrown forward.. im just put off by some of the 2nd half so I want to point out thay they are bad at the job

 

[MattyM]

Absolute deplorable second half. Laughably bad.

Penrith going to bend us over so hard.

 

[listo]

Solid defence today lads, kept them under 40. Well done

 

[Celticman98]

First half good
Second half awful

 

[Seano]

They're a young, understrength team coming up against the competition heavyweights. We should be lauding the first half efforts as something to build on, not going off because they couldn't keep that level up for a full 80. They were getting smashed in the first as well. If you look at the tackle counts, they just managed to scramble well to keep them out.

It literally doesn't matter what numbers they wear on their back. For example KP will be the halfback in attack when he returns.

14 point loss is about what I expected coming into the game. But you're right, it does make things weird when we played so well in the first half, and messed things up so badly in the second.

As the Knights' social media would say - take the lessons and move onto next week!

 

[Mclovin]

Awesome effort in the first half and played some good footy, the younger players had a good crack well done to them and it will good for them in the future.
The 2nd half happened.

 

[Die Hard]

Definitely poorly officiated against us, even the ball thrown back to us from the sidelines was a lot forward for Dom to have to go and pick up... ridiculous

 

[slotmachine]

Did we have zero tackles in the Roosters 50m all 40 minutes of the second half?

No we had a few that were squandered

 

[Sarge]

Brown looked under done that game

Yep

 

[HarVeeGee13]

We just have so little leeway to make mistakes with the lack of go forward & physicality in contact in D in the side at present. First half we made like one error the whole half, second half we make a bunch of errors, and that’s the game. Almost every kick from both teams was from our 30-40m line.

 

[Newygirl]

I was expecting worse honestly so the first half was a pleasant surprise.

That many injuries was always going to cause problems but still need to fix up the defence and control of the ruck
