What's new

2026 Finals

Flegler was very poor. I am unsure of his future. He was one of the best props in the game before that cruel injury. The game is much too quick for him now.

I thought Knowles did OK tonight (by his standards). He didn't miss a tackle and he ran for 67 m. But, he has had a very disappointing debut NRL season. An ultra successful side of the future certainly doesn't include his presence.
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 player ran just to the side of Flegler and Flegler for some reason just couldn't adjust, not even hang an arm out, and the Roosters played brushed right passed him, ran another 10m, got a quick play the ball and Roosters scored a long range try next play.

That summed up Flegler's season for me.

And Knowles, as you say, he was ok and has generally been ok. Runs hard and tackles hard but if we are going to win the premiership next year, he isn't in the 17. On the bench as one of the extra 2 reserves who only come on in the event of foul play at best.

Really gutted but take a philosophical view. The better team on the night won. We only had that period 10 minutes either side of halftime. Other than that, all Roosters. I thought Herbie had a really good game. Really troubled them. Cobbo and Isaako just behind him then Bostock.

Plath stating in the backrow is a duck out of water and no reason for Lemuelu to start on the bench apart from the coach wanting his best mate to start at lock. Forwards were just well beaten. Next year with Pouniu playing 80 minutes in the backrow and Plath starting at lock, we should be much better.
100% re Plath starting in the backrow. Lemuelu is a really good backrower and Plath is a really good lock. So what is the solution there Mr. Woolf?
 
So just watched on catchup. Bottled it.

Nothing to say other than that. Marky Marks pass was probably from touch but then again Isaako was also probably in touch for his try so it evens out and we can't really complain.

I will say when the intercept try went in we imploded.

One of the roosters try literally went between Path and Donga on a short ball. If ever you expected 2 people to fucking obliterate a ball carrier that was it and the pair of them basically watched him fall over the line.
