2004 GF Roosters v Bulldogs

[koreanwarrior]

Well if you can't follow the game and don't want to know the score then don't click on threads like this and don't read anymore!

An hour to kickoff.

Should be huge, wonder how long to the first punch up? No worries about sendoffs and suspensions now. It's all on the line.

I'm stuck in Korea listening to 2GB over the internet

Canterbury-Bankstown 20, Easts 12

And if this goes to golden point and the (unts at 9 Melbourne go to that bloody movie at 9pm I'll drive around to their studios and smack someone.

Play underway, Rain falling.

My Tip Roosters by 2.

 

[koreanwarrior]

Bloody awful ball handling by the sounds of it.

Players a bit nervous. Seems to be settling now though.

 

[MRobbo]

It has been raining which wasn't excepted. they might be a reason for the ball handling errors.

Roosters TRY-Chris Walker 14th Min (4-0)
CONVERSION-Craig Fitzgibbon successful (6-0)

 

[koreanwarrior]

8 handling errors in 15 minutes.

Bulldogs just blew a chance.

Experience to carry the Roosters home? Hope the Bulldogs don't get stage fright though can't say I'm really cheering for anybody.

 

[MRobbo]

Bulldogs TRY-Matt Utai 23rd Min(4-6)
CONVERSION-Hazem El Masri Unsuccessful (4-6)

 

[MRobbo]

Bulldogs PENALTY GOAL-Hazem El Masri 29th Min successful (6-6)

 

[koreanwarrior]

roosters field goal and then try straight from the kickoff.

Roosters 13
Bulldogs 6

Good to see the kiwis doing well, Utai try, Tupou setting one up and Williams smashing people.

 

[MRobbo]

Roosters FIELD GOAL-Ryan Cross 34th Min Successful (7-6)
TRY-Anthony Minichello 35th Min (11-6)
CONVERSION-Craig Fitzgibbon Successful (13-6)

 

[koreanwarrior]

No fighting yet. What's that all about?

Maybe the Bulldogs might come out after the break fired up.

ref going to the replay to check for obstruction for another roosters try.

 

[koreanwarrior]

No try, penalty to the Bulldogs.

38 mins gone.

[koreanwarrior]

Utai try in the corner. Sounds like a typical bulldozing try from him.

waiting for the video decision but sounds good............TRY.

Roosters 13
Bulldogs 10

 

[MRobbo]

Bulldogs TRY-Matt Utai 43rd Min (10-13)
CONVERSION-Hazem El Masri Successful (12-13)

 

[koreanwarrior]

Conversion coming from El Masri (already been fined 10,000 this year for slow kicks according to the radio).

It's over from the sideline
13-12

GAME ON!!!!!

 

[koreanwarrior]

OK, MRobbo you doing the scoring and I'll just add the rambling commentary.

Next 10 minutes should be crucial, and then the 10 after them and then the last 10 as well should also be crucial.

Team with more points at the end of the game will definately win it though.

Roosters have made 150 tackles to 114 so are they going to have a weak spell?

 

[MRobbo]

Looking at Sydney Radar there is a possiblity of some more rain before end of game. Could make it very intersting.

 

[koreanwarrior]

The commentators have been absolutely bagging Justin Hodges the whole game for being a ****************.

Reckon Ricky Stuart would get him off the field if he had any other options.

Bulldogs about to receive a goal line drop out.

Slagging Hodges again!!!

All the momentum to the Bulldogs and they are in again.

 

[MRobbo]

Bulldogs TRY-Hazem El Masri 53rd Min (16-13) (100th career try)
CONVERSION-Hazem El Masri Unsuccessful (2/4) (16-13)

 

[Supermercado]

Hodges is rubbish. Always has been.

 

[koreanwarrior]

Tackles
Roosters 236
Bulldogs 154

thats a huge difference. 82 tackles.

If the Roosters can get some momentum though they can bounce back and win this. The Bulldogs should have more points I think.

 

[koreanwarrior]

Haha, they're calling Hodges a pot plant and giving him the 'pot plant of the year' award.

Sideline eye said he's the angriest man in the comp with a ton of ability that he will never realise.

Also been bagging Walker as well saying that the two of them have let them down.

The Roosters can win this. They are behind on every single stat but within striking range.................

Roosters break with the testicle bandit running away....

 

[koreanwarrior]

Bulldogs are champs.

Suck on that Ricky!!!!

 

[MRobbo]

FINAL SCORE Crowd:82127

Great Game. 1st time this year the Roosters have lost after being ahead at half time. Bulldogs 1st premiership since 1995.
