Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2726505, member: 1899"] Finally caught a replay after the power went out right before the second half. It was more of the same from Sydney. A couple of flat spots tempered by some individual brilliance. I'm not sure if it was because of the mismatch or just natural talent, but the Roosters looked far more potent down their left than their right. Nikorima had the defence constantly in two minds and his combination with Guerra reminded me a lot of Milford's combination with Glenn. I really can't fault the Roosters performance. Outside of a few anxious moments, they were 'on' and completely dominated the Saints in all facets. The problem is that a performance like that can often inflate a side, and once they're brought down to earth, they struggle to find that same form. I'm not saying anything revolutionary here, but I don't think the Chooks are out of the woods yet. Ferguson at fullback is an obvious flaw but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Roosters struggle with Leuluai and Henderson on the field. Both looked suspect to me, with their performances being hidden by those around them. I don't think Latrell Mitchell is ready either. If given the choice, I would go with Latrell Mitchell but I think the Roosters should go with Option C Omar Slaimankhel and let Latrell work his way into first grade. There were some great signs from Latrell, but there were a few times where I thought he physically struggled and was dominated too easily in the tackle. I think the signs of brilliance are always going to be there, but there's a few elements of his game that could be realised in the lower grades before he's given a full-time gig.
