Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3048371, member: 1899"] I understand where you're coming from. The Roosters felt the absence of Warea-Hargreaves, Keary and Friend last night and the game didn't quite make it out of third gear. It didn't flow all that well either with Melbourne penalising themselves out of the first half while the Roosters couldn't complete a set in the second. I still thought both teams were extremely well drilled in defence and showed why they're on top of the ladder. It was a game on first view that was defined by the near misses moreso than the tries that were actually scored. For example, that cover tackle by Munster on Tedesco was excellent. Not only did he get him, but he hit him with enough force to slow the play the ball down and give his men just enough time to recover. Most teams would have conceded the try in that instance. Similar story with that Papenhuyzen break later on in the game. First off, the effort from Papenhuyzen to break into the clear was great, but the support from Addo-Carr and then the cover from the Roosters was so impressive. It's just a shame that we'll have to wait until September to see something like that again. [/QUOTE]
