[Big Unit 30]

Battle of the Jekyll and Hyde’s.
Both of the sharks and roosters have looked brilliant then absolutely dire at times this year (both can claim losses to the tiges )
Fast attacking start , not a lot of stout defense it has to be said.
Nicho has been in good form lately. Reckon he’ll be pivotal

 

[eddiesmith]

It’s always good to beat the worst club in the league, although says a lot that their NSW cup side is better than their NRL team!!!

 

[Great8]

Battled hard but again too many mistakes and every little thing seems to go against you when you are shit

 

[Andronicus]

How the **** does NAS stay on the field?

[PhatBoy]

How the **** does NAS stay on the field?

What did he do? Didn’t watch the game but given his history and pool-ball number IQ I can’t imagine it was anything particularly edifying

Threw a blatant elbow at a play the ball resulting in a failed hia.

Not for the first time, I read you guys' comments, and I have no idea which game you are talking about.

Solomona , Storm v Sea Eagles last night I presume
He got rubbed out for the incident

 

[Big Unit 30]

A packed out Leichhardt and a one point win is footy perfection for me

 

[Greenstar5]

2 awesome finishes. Wow

 

[Jatz]

That ****ing sucked. Such a Newy thing to do.

Seen it now. Yeah, don't see how he stayed on the field.

 

[phantom13]

Belly would have been ****ing STEAMING after that game, watching him storm out three seperate times was hilarious.

Wild ending for Knights v Wahs too

 

[Jatz]

Ironically we'd probably have been better not charging down the kick. Put the pressure on sure, just don't let it hit you.

Honestly I think between that and the Grant penalty coaches have to be saying “get there and put pressure on but don’t touch the kicker and leave the ball”.

It’s a lotto off a charge down with broken field play

Yep. If he manages to slot it there under pressure, you just take your hat off to him.

Too often the defensive line becomes a shambles as everyone races up and you're just asking for trouble.

I could see a well drilled team sending a single runner to try and block (similar to NFL field goal defensive units) being a worthwhile exercise but its a very specific thing to coach and train.
