Message: [QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2521044, member: 7803"] Got a bit of a surprise watching it last night, it was nowhere near as controversial as I was expecting it to be. I did disagree with the ruling that Chris Walker lost the ball in a tackle with 5 minutes to go when he was gang-tackled by 3 Roosters players. The Broncos got hammered in the penalty count 8-2 which didn't help but I thought the Roosters played a lot better. The Roosters dominate the first 25 minutes but can only post 8 points due to Brisbane's gutsy effort and strong defense. The Broncos get some rythem going and a 70 meter try to Brent Tate after Shaun Berrigan finds some space gets the margin back to 2. A few minutes later Lockyer slices through and Brisbane go to half-time ahead 12-8. The Roosters regain the lead after Langer throws a shocking pass to nobody and Brett Mullins picks up the pill and goes 50 meters to score and Fitzgibbin's conversion regains the lead and a further goal from a penalty and the Roosters hang on for the remainder of the game to win 16-12. Was good to see Adrian Morely have a blinder I thought he was the best on the field as he added a lot of aggression the the Roosters and was busy in defense and attack, he is the best Englishmen i've seen play in the NRL was a big fan of his when he was at the Roosters. The Broncos best was Shaun Berrigan imo, made some vital tackles when the Broncos were under the pump and was Brisbane's most dangerous player, had a hand in the 2 tries and made some scampering runs that got us out of trouble. This was Lote Tuquri's and Alfie's last game for us as well. I didn't understand Wayne making Alf sit on the bench with 15 to go, he didn't play well at all but his experience and calmness under pressure would've helped. Sydney Roosters 16: Tries by Anthony Minichiello and Brett Mullins and 4 goals by Craig Fitzgibbon Brisbane Broncos 12: Tries by Brent Tate and Darren Lockyer and 2 goals by Michael De'Vere [/QUOTE]
