Unfortunate for the Roos.

Warren, Power, Wells, Thomas and now Wright all injured.

Milton66 · Post: # 752518Post **Milton66** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 5:47pm

Amazing. 10-2 for the 2nd half. Amazing when you kick straight.

Devilhead · Post: # 752519Post **Devilhead** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 5:48pm

roos have only kicked 2.1 after half time ..... 4.2 after quarter time

Feel for the Roos a bit. We all know how much it hurts having so many players injured. The rest of their season is not going to be enjoyable.

Nice goal by Roo.

Legendary · Post: # 752521Post **Legendary** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 5:49pm

Kangaroos down to 17 men. 5 injured.

We've certainly played better after halftime, but don't get too carried away with the last quarter.

the good thing is that no matter what the scoreboard says this team will always believe that they are in it.

dal well done WORK RATE

the guy got worked over but is still working his arse off

benoc · Post: # 752524Post **benoc** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 5:49pm

Geez the Roos are only playing with 17. That is really demoralising.

They are injured because we ran them into the ground

Milton66 · Post: # 752526Post **Milton66** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 5:50pm

Sorry, have to disagree. Bad luck to the players, but we've had our turn at injuries.

Correct

Couldn't give a toss about their numbers.

Sorry for Warren, that was pure accident.

Apart from that, stiff s***.

Yeah, but we were a much more capable team when we had them than North are now. I have nothing against North, I would much rather them win their games (other than this one obviously) than lose on the basis that there are so many teams than I hate. Oh, and they have had a pretty s*** year too.

Steven King will get a couple of weeks for running one of them into the ground.

Owen · Post: # 752533Post **Owen** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 5:54pm

Well.. injuries or no injuries .. 70 point turnaround from midway through 2nd quarter.. I am impressed Saints well done !!

If the West hit/block/shepherd on X decision last year was correct then King has even less to worry about, IMO.

Owen · Post: # 752539Post **Owen** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 5:57pm

Oh an maintained our % at 183.25 I should add ...

Great stuff .. North probs if they got 5 guys injured .. poor conditioning like we had a few years back with all those hammys ..

If Gardi only got a week for a raised elbow then King should be fine. Even if he gets a week, so what, other teams will be looking over their shoulders. Its a tough game. King will get off though. If he doesnt then just another game for Mcevoy, we will turn it into a positive.

Oh well. Eats dog eat dog. Their poor year is their problem, like ours was.

Never give a sucker an even break.

Solar · Post: # 752545Post **Solar** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 6:02pm

has raph found his place in the team? To headbutt players and put them out of the game

I don't care how many injuries north had, the scoreboard has us in front, we are 11 straight and bring on the blues....

11 goals to 2 second half

28 scoring shots to 12

only 67 tackles but this improved after quarter time

gwilts game when the game was there to be won was fantastic, hit the ball very well, kicked an extremely important goal. Was also hard at it when it was tough early quarters.

Thought mini did some nice things. The defence was good after quarter time.

They manage to get chips into space very well and credit to the coaching staff after having their pants pulled down to quarter time.

BJ needs to spend more time forward perhaps to get used to playing that lead up forward role. Seemed to lose contact with the game.

joey was very good, dal worked hard without ever looking like he would take the game apart. Roo was beaten early but he's a gun. Kosi was the difference IMO

How biased was the commentary towards the Roos??? All game.

Iceman234 · Post: # 752550Post **Iceman234** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 6:03pm

Also kept the Roos to 57 - our exact average against now over 11 games...

While we never want to see players hurt, dont care about opposition, afterall who ave a stuff about us in the dark days

Apart from that, stiff s***.

it was almost like they had all the scoring shots, the disposals, inside 50's hell they must have lead all the stats by the sound of it. Thankgod I had vision otherwise I would have thought we had lost......
