Match Thread Round 21

[THE RED ROOSTER]

Not a vintage Rooster performance, apart from the first 15 mins. I still feel you can stick a fork in the Roosters season when you see the upcoming schedule. Some point to the loss of Jake Friend, Boyd Cordner and the Morris brothers but IMO Craig Fitzgibbon leaving the coaching staff and going to Sharkies is probably more significant for both thee Roosters and Sharks.

Get right game coming up next week for the Bronx with Newcastle Knights at Suncorp.

Joseph Sua’ali’i is a bit good isn’t he . I’m thinking Folau , I’m thinking Inglis . He’s got the lot

STORM   v  TITANS

 

[Graham]

How about that for a Storm shuffle?

Munster to fullback. He hasn’t played that position for about 3 or 4 years.
Coates back from injury.

Young Tonumaipea will start at centre in his first Storm game, also since 2018.

Tyran Wishart will move to the interchange bench alongside Josh King, Brandon Smith and Tom Eisenhuth, with Dean Ieremia and Alec MacDonald dropping out of Craig Bellamy’s final 17.

 

[Graham]

Storm showing plenty of creativity early on.

One no try for a lost ball over the line.

Coates in at the right corner after another lovely move. 
Try.

[Graham]

Not converted
4-0 Storm

Shane flanagan commentating on Fox having been in discussions with Titans about assistant coaching  role. Holbrook says he wasnt aware of the talks.

Changes ahead I think.

[Graham]

Storm mounting more and more pressure. Getting into a gear they haven’t been in for a long time.

 

[Graham]

KBrom try. Munster converts from touchline on left.

16-0 Storm

I enjoyed Manly - Parra . Manly must be hoping they could wheel Turbo out , Garrick was easier to run around than a statue
