The Ref was letting both sides leave early. The Roosters were better at exploiting it for the most part.
In the few games where Schu has looked good he has had a lot of runners around him. Tonight he had a lot less support which made him an easy target.

I wouldn't mind getting more of a look at Tuilugi in the middle. One of our best today. We need a more mobile pack. He show a bit more than an can only play on an edge today.
Completely agree with you, we should take anything away from the win today because they had players out.
I’ve watched most of their games this year and I thought that was up there with one of their better performances. They played far better today without their players than they have with them previously.

Shu seemed a bit off it but did what he needed to do, I don't think he cost us negatively - if not for having a quiet game. Parker was average tbh, and I say that as a fan of the future Immortal, got stood up a number of times on the outside. I don't know if that's because of the defensive structures we run or what.
I could be wrong but isn't that side of the field which has been pretty bad all season as far as defense goes? Maybe something to work on, along with our 20m attacking plays.
Decent win overall, I put that down to DCE dominating. Anyway no one will remember the specfics and it keeps us in touch with the 8, happy days for now.

I thought that was a pretty high-quality game. Chooks looked better for a lot of it, I was only watching on TV but their line speed for the entire game was astonishing. Are they that much fitter than Manly, or better trained, or something? But to get the win was a great effort by the Manly 17, a few moments of brilliance was enough to steal it.
Producing that form on a consistent basis is our biggest problem though. Gawd I hope they don't take Jake for that dead rubber Origin circus.

Like every other team, they know Croker hardly runs from dummy half and when he does, he's easy pickings. That's a big reason why they rush up. If we had a Brandon Smith / Harry Grant or even a Blake Brailey / Marshall King...it wouldn't happen as often.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that saw they were never onside. Great effort by the lads. DCE is now the master!

Best call of the day here. Thought exactly the same thing.
I was there and their line speed was crazy quick all game.
I was thinking they would burn out after 25mins and we would run through them but they just kept on coming. Massive effort on their behalf and brave of us to tough it out

9s a problem, has been for a long while.
What I’m pleased about is that we have finally ground one out.

Best win of the year imo. Easts were pretty good. High completions etc. not watched the pressers but will after a couple more overs in the ashes.
I was watching live and got the exact same impression. The Roosters line speed was exceptional. The pushed the boundaries on slowing the PTB and leaving the line early. They were doing it as a single unit, all at the same time.
I was amazed how often we got pinged for inside the 10 but it happened because there was an individual that stood out from the crowd.
Learning the refs thresholds and playing to them accurately as a team is incredibly underrated. We have individuals that can pull it off (DCE was offside for his interception IMO) but we struggle to do it as a unit. When everyone goes at the same time, only a split second early, it makes it very hard for the ref to call.
I'll watch the game again tomorrow coz you always see things a bit different than at the game but I thought Parks was pretty good today. Pulled off a lot of good tackles and and set up the 1st try palming off Manu (not easy) and making the break, then back to Garrick for the kick thru. Tui is the one that has the problem of coming off his wing. For example, Parker had Manu covered for their 1st try but Tui came in and left the winger open. But anyway .......
