Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3311653, member: 1899"] I watched the game intently and noticed Walker was leaving well before the ball had cleared the ruck. In fact if you watch the Roosters closely a lot of them are leaving when the ball is being planted on the ground and not actually played. So Walker often had momentum in the tackle. Conversly if you watch the Liu try again, Kelly for whatever reason starts inside the in-goal and doesn't push out until the ball is played. Glenn could have pushed over, but he was involved in the tackle. It's one of those cases where Niu should have got Hetherington or whoever was defending on the otherside to push across. I thought it was a really smart play from the Roosters to isolate Kelly. Turn it back inside with Manu to get a quick play the ball and keep a prop forward down the blind to target Kelly one on one. Strangely I thought Kelly's defence was one of his better aspects in an otherwise dusty performance. I have no idea what happened to his kicking game, he was landing them on the 10m line consistently in that opening trial. [/QUOTE]
