Have to give credit where it's due, that's a great against the odds win.
The point was made at full time that they simply took them on up the middle - whatever it was it worked
well done Canberra

Wiki says 180cm which is 5'11 and then I noticed 5.9 is the percentage.......I reckon he in being 5'9 may be an exaggeration but I hope he plays 80min somewhere!"

If Parra played chooks tonight they would have smashed them.
easts played a perfect game against us, but have been average since.

If we played like we did against the knights roosters would of still beat us.
Great result for us, if we win this week we'll be 3 wins clear from 4th, and it would require us to really stuff up to not make the top 4 from that position, particular with it being halfway through the season and with an ok run home.
canberra played well but Can't remember the last time roosters played that bad. Most teams in the top 10 would've won when the opposition completes at 68%
It was painful to watch all the Roosters players constantly appealing for penalties. They were relentless. It was like having a team of Cam Smiths.
Yep I noticed that too Elvis, and what about Morris? It was like he was auditioning for an acting role...
The Roosters haven't been great since they lost Radley. He gives their middle defence balls.
I agree about Radley, Bob. He is the injured player they are going to miss most. He has always been an outstanding player but his form was sensational this season before he got injured. His attacking game gave the Roosters another point of attack and neither Nate Butcher, Isaac Liu or any other player on their roster will go anywhere close to providing what Radley had been delivering. Flanagan has a good kicking game, backs up very well and is a good link between the forwards and his outside backs but at this stage he doesn't initiate much in attack.
Radley and South's Cam Murray emerged about the same time but I always thought that Murray's attacking skills gave him the edge over Radley. However, the young Rooster took his game to a higher level this year and would have seriously challenged for Murray's SOO position, you wouldn't play both of them in the same side.
I think Radley's contribution was a major factor in the Roosters brilliant early season form and I'm not sure yet if they can overcome his loss and still win the comp. I certainly hope they don't!
Any team that beats the Rooters and Storm I'm happy with.
Good points made about the absence of Radley. The cheat code to beat the Roosters is have a big outside back run at Keary. An inside ball against the grain would do the trick. I can easily see Waqa running through Keary like a hot knife does to butter.
That Pom Sam Williams is a brilliant buy. Everything ran through Hodgson until a week ago so the Roosters had no idea how the Raiders would play. I still think the Raiders albeit being a tough cookie, they no longer have the man power injury wise. They have something like 3-4 out for the season a a couple others long term.
