Watched TopGun Maverick at 4pm (great movie btw) so only just finished watching the game tonight. Boy oh boy did the Roosters not deserve for that game to be so close. So undisciplined, shocking effort in defence, pretty sure Butch and Baker got hooked as both only played short stints at the end.
Manu tried really hard, but had a much better fantasy game than IRL. He was actually causing us to be a little clunky and relied on his crabbing runs to generate space. We looked best when running hard through the middle, then spreading the ball and running plays. Other than Manu though, no one looked particularly impressive, lots of poor decision making out there.
Raiders on the other hand: Tapine was immense. Unbelievably strong, stood in 4/5 tackles, incredible. Elliot ran really hard and generated some good quick play the balls. Savage had a good game for a rookie, if he can keep that up those who jumped on will be happy. Will have to see it a few weeks in a row before I get on now I think. Maybe a decent cashout still though. Fogarty and Frawley were pretty crap, maybe the only thing keeping us in the game.
Fantasy wise I finished on 604 with 13 players, moving from ~11k > 7732 which is exciting. 13 trades left so have to start using them wisely from here on out. Will have a read back and no doubt be impressed with some big bye round scores from some good coaches.
