Latrell is the fastest front rower in the comp.

That's arguable. That right there was an incredibly slow footrace.

Latrell is quick, he was cruising the last 30m.

Haas would get him in a fast walk.

It was almost like Macca chasing down Wallace

My wife is a roosters fan as are my step humans. I was really enjoying this game until the main piece made me put something else on....not fair they were keen to watch last week

Hahaha only the Roosters would get a challenge successful there. Clear as day knock on

I figured the Rorters had the best potential of being our first loss of the year but suddenly I'm cautiously optimistic about beating them too

They looked horrendous tonight... that was a repeat of round 1 again.

Just no momentum through the ruck, which is their go to... something doesnt look right with Teddy

Teddy had his worst game I can recall

POSITION VACANT: Someone to replace Morkel as Digital Artist. Must be able to make signature of attractive football players once every 3-5 years. Will be paid in likes from time to time.

They look very ordinary the rorters. Apart from Manu and Teddy, their backline is bang average. They look like they have a few players who are suddenly looking past their best. Hopefully, its not just a blip.

Made a bunch of errors but it’s pretty telling when he scores a try and runs for 190m+ and it’s considered one of his worst games….

I've always thought the importance of Tedesco's run metres stats were overstated, he's had plenty of games early in his career at both the Tigers, Raiders and Roosters where he'd rack up 200/300m in a badly beaten side. Good stats on paper without a real effect on the game.

That's more of a knock on the rest of the side though, isn't it. All you can really do is try hard for your team, and then hope the other 16 blokes do the same.

Must admit, i've always found running meter stats for backs a bit irrelevant.

To me roosters over the last few years are at their best when they are just rolling through the middle and it's their back 5 creating the momentum.

If there is any form of quick ptb inside the rooster's half Teddy will be straight into dummy half and running it straight down the defence's throat, looking for his front and giving the next man a quick ptb to keep the roll going.

It just becomes a perpetual motion of quick ptb's that has the defence constantly rolling backwards and the backline can play off the back if and when they want or they just bust them straight through the middle... it feels like they don't even need middle forwards at times... they're just there to be mobile and defend.

Tonight Teddy is picking it up from dummy half on quick ptb's and jinking only to run sideways... that's not his style.

I also thought Connor Watson was pretty bad at hooker tonight.

Can recall a set of six when roosters were inside the rabbits 10-20m and he got three quick ptb's in the one set, but completely bottled all three.

• First one is on the right post and he dumps off to Crichton at first receiver instead of going out the back... the rabbits middle and 4th defender got sucked into Crichton's run well early and the backline had massive room to move, but he takes the wrong option... Crichton is a 2nd rower playing middle because Robbo is pissed at him, but he dumps it off with 3-4 defenders lining him up
• Second time round is after Tupouniua is put into a half gap and gets a quick ptb... this isn't so much on Watson, but it's wide and he throws a long ball to JWH who stalls the whole movement and they get a noting slow ptb off the back. JWH was likely running a decoy given Victor was on the field, but instead he's throws it behind JWH who stalls everything . If he's not wanting to go to Victor (or can't get to him because JWH is in the way) then he can at worst utilise the quick ptb to run along the line and see if one of the defenders over commits or he can straighten up at the end and go to his backline
• He then gets a third opportunity and again took the worst option. I can't quite recall, but feel like he just dumped it off to a middle who had 3-4 defenders on him, when going out the back was the better and obvious option.

I thought tonight it showed that Connor is every bit the 6/1 that was turned utility, turned 9, turned lock, turned utility, turned 9 again.

Robinson most likely wants to utilise Connor as that mobile utility through the middle with a little bit of backup hooker when needed, but the lack of hooking depth for them could be a concern for the next little bit until Verrils returns... I guess it's lucky the sombrero can fit BSmith under it next year
