A lot of us have expressed surprise and unhappiness about Williams signing but I don't think Wolff has.
He'll probably be really good next year. Given his age, the year after and the year after that worry me. But now Kodi is gone, we are definitely all in with Williams.
I didn't know they played for Samoa. That's how much I follow international games. That's what I expect. If Haas and Crighton are out, it might mean Fa'asuamaleaui goes to starting prop and Tom Gilbert comes onto the bench.
As for centre, might be Staggs.
I remember after Roosters scored their first try, even though it was a 12 point turn-around, I wasn't even that disappointed because I thought we were lucky to be down by only 6 at that stage of the game due to the Roosters forwards dominating. Their prop White made more metres in PCM than...
Judging from this year, what they were able to do without their first and second choice halfbacks and RTS, Warriors are going to be extremely hard to beat. I think next year might be similar to this year. Top 4 of us, Roosters, Warriors, Panthers.
My rating, just my opinion and I might be a bit harsh but: (all out of 10) I also only watched the first 57 minutes.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 4 (If the Warriors kick chase was just a bit better late in the game, Hammer would have gotten a 4 against the Warriors as well. I'm certainly in favour of...
I've been saying ever since he came back, Flegler seems too big and too slow now. He needs to lose 5 ~ 10kgs to get back to where he was before the injury.
I had a moment in regard to Flegler similar to my flip out on Knowles against the Warriors . Midway through the second half, the Roosters...
I didn't see the final 20min but I'm going to hold off Knowles for now because Flegler was worse. Kurt D also had his worst game in a long time. The outside backs kept us in it for about 50min but after that, it got away from us.
I've seen enough. It's getting embarrassing now. I would not, Roosters started dominating again when Flegler came back for his second stint. And the tackle before their last try, the Roosters player ran straight passed Flegler like he wasn't there and on for anther 10m before being tackled. So...
They scored the first try off a length intercept where we were in for all money if the pass was delivered half a second earlier. So that's a 12 point turn around. But Roosters were clearly the better team in the first 40. Kurt D hasn't had a happy game so far but as usual, we had 2 passengers...
I knew the slow starts would cost us soon. I was hoping it wouldn't be until early next year but no luck. I don't think we can come back from this against a quality team like the Roosters.
This has come around fast. I think this game will be harder than the GF is we win. I think we can break down Penriths low risk, high % game and Newcastle must be tired by now. They've already played 2 sudden death games.
Dolphins by 8
FTS - Kodi
MOTM - Plath
Though they played pretty well against Penrith the week before.
Roosters are a team that has scared me all year. But we beat them at almost 100% a few weeks ago and I think we are playing better than we were then so I'm quietly confident.
Hmmmm they all "want to stay" but not putting pen to paper. Every successful team has to shed players. I think we are going to lose one of Hammer, Herbie or Jack.
