NRL 2024 | Roosters v Raiders | Full Match Replay | Round 26

stay what a comeback to the Pinnacle of the game probably the back rower in the game at the moment the Raiders with the footy Here Comes Cory hbra into the starting team sparingly used by Ricky Stewart Victor Radley got him with a beauty up under the ribs tle yeah tackle one looked like he turned off the kickoff turned into to contact but Victor a beauty just under the [Music] kidneys oh maybe a head Clash oh no one there's a head Clash big red shaking off the stars that he was seeing and we're back underway now Smitty the Englishman played every game this year the camra and he's made an NRL season OT White the other English player in the pack whose career is winding down they've lost the ball here not a good start for CRA after three tackles K's got it back Jennings the dummy half now butcher this attacking Juggernaut that is the roosters lineup they could break their record for most points scored in a regular season they need only 21 it could go today with a game in hand the record stands at 710 this was the 15th ranked attacking team from last year it's been quite the turnaround King and now Jennings and over to tupo Jennings got in the road there four the Raiders come over to affect the tackle 5 m away from the line cron slips over on the uh somewhat slippery Turf I'm pleased to report the grounds improved markedly on their last game here a couple of weeks back where it was sanded when fact it was underwater wasn't it his Butch up right in front of the sticks Brendan Smith a kick over the top by Walker off the upright it was there it was there walking to get it back and he couldn't quite a dazzling start for this unbelievably talented halfback well he was filthy he dropped the ball I have no doubt he was aiming for the Post cuz he chased and he chased for the Ricochet he knew exactly what he was doing there Sammy Walker that's short [Music] K well he has been the the main instigator of that Revival in the wor attack with all of his amazing short kicking dep passing 20 TR assists in the season third ranked in the competition they're scoring 31 points per game on average back comes Tesco Dy MO 12 tries 18 try assists he is hitting the finals in good form Teddy now Dom young tackled on the 30 m line [Music] SMI sto by T Levi starts Starling From the Bench it's been a onew punch from Micky Stewart in the dummy half area throughout the campaign this year just over the halfway they've used four tackles his lenu he C he's got the bumper bars up he doesn't let Whitehead get a clean shot he's insanely strong Ki kicking towards the corner Teddy's after ringer oh he took it well the veteran is he after the UK next year Jordan rer y he has been an unbelievable player for the Raiders on the wing at fullback this is one of his strengths coming out of trouble he's dummy half running Timo Brad fitler sideline this is your old home ground well the new version of it what a great day I don't think I've ever seen it look as nice as it is today it was brilliant pregame and I got to say the field looks awesome little bit slippery over in his corner cuz all the footy has been over in this northwest corner and a few players have been slipping so you'll tell the players that have the long studs on I know the staff have been working around the clock lot of pouring going on obviously one of the big talking points uh was the condition of the game of the ground a couple of weeks ago but they've solved that and they've promised they going to perfect F from here on Brad I don't know whether you noticed but part of the pregame buildup here there was an exhibition from the public order and Riot Squad just before kickoff where they had the the canine police out there and a few of the uh police officers were acting as civilians and one of them had a Newcastle number seven jumper on and both the dogs ran straight towards him yeah he was the one in trouble they knew who the trouble was they saw him on a skateboard once a few years ago they said that's that BL on the ball of the skateboard Phoenix cros on is no good on the 30 well one thing the Raiders will be wary of is giving the roosters two many freedoms like they've done there here's Collins 15 M inside cber territory Walker linking with Teddy and Manu stands them up they barely lay a glove on him eventually cooking 21 he's filling in for the absent Jamal foger he made the tackle Dom young Sam Walker down that butcher turns it over one-on-one strip there was three plays in The Tackle Denny Levi communicated too they all pulled out of the tackle smart work Denny Levi it's one of the Hidden strengths the Raiders they're actually playing at the ball in virtually every tackle and every now and then they'll get a pinch like this got to be really careful when you play against them every one of their players is Keen to have a strip at the ball showed a fair bit of resilience there in those opening sets of six in defense it wasn't a great start for them was it they defended it they've been resilient all year the win by Newcastle earlier it knocks them out really but they were in the top eight for 13 of the first 15 weeks of the Year this is a team that some people were projecting to maybe run on the bottom of the ladder oh what a ball ta to rer oh that's a handy one two punches in and he's still going a 35y old fullback glorious ball from the gifted front rower now Kyo weeks rolls it through toes going in cover I think it's going to leak too long that ball rolled on didn't [Applause] it thought he was going to back himself K WS he's got that sizzling speed he's lightning off off the mark and the very experienced James Tesco he just he just had a feeling that was going to keep bobbling along to get to the dead ball line well the M Leaf BL that uh is out there this afternoon when he found out Jamal fog wasn't available was James Tesco because he peppered in here last year with the high kicks and the man himself is with Bradford go Jamal M how important is the start of this game yeah I think it's very important for us but ese against the roosters they're a team that like to throw the foot around and the way that we've got our compressed line with a bit of line speed to starts really pleasing you envious of watching the boys out here with the atmosphere and the people yeah I am mate I think this is probably one of the better stadiums that we have um in the comp just the facilities out here the grass and underneath really good so little bit gutted I can't be out there with the boys but hopefully they can get job done today tell us about your injury yeah I just got a little um minor hamstring strain in my kicking leg that I um got at training there trying to chase down some of the young fellas so miss out on today and hopefully be back next week good luck mate thanks mate appreciate it thanks mat great to hear from Jamal FY last play King testing riter again the two ones come together Tesco Taps it backwards it's picked up here Radley over the top the pass wide of Manu who scurries back together now what's Joey going to produce from the trick bag slides along the ground gives it to Jennings now Walker tupo finds himself unmarked Savage gets across ball on the ground picked up by camra a great Hustle by the Raiders knock no ADV the knock on there was a rooster knock on the ball out 10 he's looking dangerous on the right side Joey Manu hob away from that challenge there Brandon Smith I think Brandon Smith's gone I just saw him s him H away but I saw him talking to one of his teammates he's he's gone Brandon [Music] Smith this will bring Conor Watson into play you can't go on well he can't runson young and Walker right around the legs PA with this time he offloads picked up on the bump by SE Chris play number five Watson getting ready the new South Wes origin went from the winning Series this year C off the left boot taken by Tesco I think he's done a c brand Smith oh he's hobbling off there he is he's trying to stay out here for the moment yeah might might have been a knock rather than a cal um and he's trying to run it out I don't think they'd let him run on it if he's had a St Cal musle well they're strapping below the knee yeah during that last attacking [Applause] rate I would imagine from a coaching perspective G that's here's the injury here the tackle on rer there you get to this stage of the year and you're fearing injury to key players well the way Michael Jennings landed on the inside of his knee that that's generally a medial ligament Tesco again against rer who had the for side to back off and make the tackle Jennings has put the ball down our referee is going straight to the buker well he passes the ball backwards I have no try just confirm a pass off the ground M had the tackle complet Tesco saying he passed it back and then a Ricochet where they offs his leg CLE aspects of playing the lead up James Testo takes clean possession and Jordan rer makes a tackle in the air [Applause] the referee's now ruled tackle complete this will be a penalty against camell we have a decision tackle they've tackled you in the air though so it's going to be your penalty but tackle in the air D those High kcks have been precise and Tesco has contested every one of them we got an here as well so Smith's going to stick on yes Brad yeah just talking to the medical staff for the roosters and they thought it was C originally but it looks like it's his medial roing up oh he's he's CED another bad whack he is so brave the ultimate competitor he gets he gets bashed at the back and he just keeps running up yeah he's a warrior no risk in the world seems comfortable now Brandon Smith with that strapping on should just give him a little bit of support but he's CED a bad one here ra know what's happened here the elbows come straight down in his face from Tesco accidental of course but that cheekbone really blind up or his eye socket yeah they've asked him to blow his nose to see what happened and they're going to say ah headb so they can have a further look at it say this Le had some very serious injuries across the journey had a fractured skull One Stage 35 years of age he signed a two-year deal with h Hall FC from Mi year so out on the field Simi sangi which will prompt a reshuffle presumably one of the back throwers to the centers and Savage probably the fullback but they lose their real attacking X Factor now [Applause] lenu surrounded by CRA jumpers they can't put him on the turf however six more tackles ruled by the referee Ki over to Tesco now to Jennings he slips over again it it looks pretty slippery down that end of the ground in particular 6 M short here in Collins Big Shot Tate horo there as well right in front of the post per through Walker floating ball Dom young good scur camra they defending well Joseph man's c a check he's down in back Play Walk tries to beat them with the bades there again desperation from the green machine check look out look out no look out W oh no look out I have no try Okay on field ruling we have Cory were well offside but this need revie we have a knock off from James Tesco just make sure no interference on the way through Sam Walker is down in the in goal now he was the one that kicked it wasn't he kick Chas is on side by the roosters Tesco he knocks the ball on looking if Elliot widad shoulder toh shoulder both players here running towards the ball and their shoulder-to-shoulder contact with playing on at this point knocks it on now bottom right of screen he's in real distress Sam Walker there is a knock on by The Roosters however the onfield ruling of Cory hbra offside on the 10 m will stand we have a decision the bigger news is down here in the number seven jersey Kate's looking on very concerned there in the top of your screen oh stretcher oh dear no can we go back and try and find what happened here obiously collided with someone he's gone in yeah the knee gives out he's got it strapped too he's got it when the knees go like that with no under generally it's an ACL well the roosters Premiership aspirations might be hobbling off the back at the Northern end of alian Stadium dear oh dear oh dear what a sensation what a weekend Oh Samy and Brad that they have hushed here at aliot well he's all strapped up but I'm asking the staff and they don't know what's happened as yet but as you can see he's in a lot of pain and there's a lot of discomfort as well they got both doctors out there the medic cab is coming up the sideline goodness has it this season taken a complete U-turn the last 24 48 hours he's getting a little better the further he walks here he's actually putting weight on it now 2 N in the meantime [Applause] [Music] radiy contact contact so there is place of Walker we'll be all over this story sideline and bring you what the uh the diagnosis from The Roosters doctors is ASAP because course make no mistake should he miss the rest of this year the roosters Premiership fortunes have taken a real nose dive well there's certainly not a collision in this is it's not as though he's bumped knes with anyone or it's just one of those ones where you plant your foot and decelerate and everything keeps moving you know puts those ligaments under a lot of strain the the good sign is he was improving as he walked along the sideline there good run Radley crashing into a hole desperate tackle thought Smith was in trouble fortunately for the roosters he's okay which allows Watson to go into the halves and partner Kiri here's butcher this time played back to Smith now Collins confronted by smiies well the roers are very fortunate they got a player like Luke kid who is very adeptive just taking charge of games in a dominating seven roll Jennings flying high ball hit him on the back lenu picks it up now over to Manu he can't escape another desperate tackle dear they are committed with their defense this rers team aren't they their defense is terrific they're hitting hard too they're really bustling r have had all the good possession all the attacking possession they've stood strong the Raiders probably Kane here today looking for a hope of a top eight finish or at least a chance of it in the last round but a win by the knights up in Newcastle today virtually makes that mathematically impossible what a start J they know will they know the result I'm sure they know it's hard to stay away from these guys it's your job it won't stop them playing well with today cook his own testing kick towards tup at the back he's made a mistake he's offside Luke here and you're in front Luke offside I had it touching Daniel hypothetically if Sam Walker has ruptured that ACL be interest interesting moving forward whether it's Connor Watson Luke Ki or or sended Smith or Joey Manu or Joey Manu at 58 yes well I know uh Billy Smith he made a comeb back today from ankle dramas he's hardly played this year he got through yeah New South Wales cup one of their other gun young players Robert toyer had plenty of time in the reserve grade as well not suggesting You'll Play NRL this year but what positions he play he's a center he's a gun and the wabby mark Nong andazi there too hav played in a real yet apparently it's carved it up in new southw cup but walk is the trump card so camra hoping to bust this roosters defense open for the first try they ignore the penalty goal and they find themselves a meter away play back to Levi sent to horra and CI up against [Applause] Ki four plays used Levi firing the Whitehead over the skipper and the English veteran gets the first try yeah this is beautiful combination dummy half I think plays away from him with all good intention to come back at him and Whitehead is right on the advantage line just to catch it and borrow his way in shows left straight away to the right by suzu dmax replay that's just combination time spent together talking together and they aimed that one right at the inside shoulder here who you look at here he comes right at the inside shoulder there of Michael Jennings who read it but just couldn't hold the big fell out hasn't he been a great buy how long's he burn out here now 8 n years yeah at least when they buy English players when they come out to the NRL generally there's a boom on the English players really hurt really ear wiad when the Raiders signed him I think it was P MH the late P MH signed him from the UK Freddy reminds me a lot of Jason Smith he went down to Cameron and played in the back row great ball Runner ball player just a really good knowledge of the game great timing as you saw then pretty impressive start from the Raiders all I've seen is them coming out of this northwest corner slipping around they had one other opportunity down there and was they gave up a seven seven tackle set next time they're done they scored a try and missed the goal Tom [Applause] off a big shout out to the r Community joining us here today for deadly choices they are first nation's PR program emping abinal t isut being Physically Active sming connec with their service theity cber one game here for one win before today 2018 last year against the roosters they like the vibrant surrounds of alion here's the big news Emma yeah Matt awful news for Jordan rer it is a suspected fraction Che bone so he's on his way to hospital very shortly okay well that's one of the bits of big news so fractured cheekbone Rober we're standing by for Walker thanks Emma HS oh he charge applied a little quick I was looking forward to watching Hudson Young play today on that left side he's got plenty of X Factor about him Hudson and he was up against Sam Walker Hudson sort of guy takes things personally I thought he'd really test see Walker today there's a bubble he knows look at that what a D in Sydney today beautiful city best city in the world Watson all right few setbacks here for the roosters and they're behind on the [Music] scoreboard is pulling all the strings here now lenu sixth starting appearance for the year he's making that transition from Impact bench man to starting front rower perior guard Kon back underneath didn't get out of the way so Kon has to cut himself off at the passco right footstep Levi smiies hbra all there to greet him kick by Ki T glued to the touch line he's got the advantage over the top of Xavier savager Look At That a Kick by Jennings bounced up a Raider back to Savage and he's [Applause] offside what are you doing kicking it out or DN all right well they had a bit of time down here the roosters Luke Ki has now got to conjure something up and get some points near 60% of the ball in favor of the home team so far played back by Lindy Collins long long pass Watson to ESCO he got inside a cook but a again slips over it's like an ice R down [Applause] there Manu Denai Smith deep pass finding butcher he's a link man with Ki Watson Innings plent of cber jumpers there again fourth tackle Smith deiri now to Collins Hudson young with a driving tackle you know what they' handled pretty easily so far last play Tesco after the Dom young rolls it through the top of camell Le play that by C that's brilliant defense by the Raiders they're really up for this on the play the ball middle really up for this does that surprise you with Ricky Stewart coaching against his old team no not at all not at all they did beat the Panthers in their latest outing might have been a shock result to some but it wasn't to Ricky Stewart he'd been saying it for a few weeks you'd get them he said I'm going to Sydney to beat the roosters too Bradley fitler the one thing from down to this level you notice is their middle defens is moving very far sideways I think they're just anticipating the roosters are going to shift the ball how to count of that is either come back Sid step or bring in players back through the middle do you think that's because Brandon Smith is bit busted I know he can't get out of dummy half ready yeah also think that I don't believe that they can match it with speed on the edges as well the roosters have just been destroying teams out wide so or they just you know assuming they're going to be passing and they're moving early I'll be tempted to just take them through the middle turn back through the middle and Raiders have been doing that defensing style for a few weeks now he's young he can get them going forward they're actually really effective with it 12 tries in nine games here at aliance for Dom young and he's got 19 this year he could play him on Mars and still find the line he's so good well with no Sam Walker that takes the unpredictable out of the roosters a little bit doesn't it he's the one that comes up with the with the short kicks early yeah yeah all that instinctive stuff Luke Ki is more methodical this oh hang on if Savage can pick off he could have got that on the first instance he would have dashed away yeah they're bustling them here roosters are on tilt you can see it everyone's got a plan until they get hit on the chin and the roosters have been hit on the chin with a big touch early in this game T has been enormous what a TR 25 outs well there been upet Galore the last little while this weekend it's been from another planet so why not give the Raiders a hope 15 away Levi Cook short pass now Hudson young surrounded by roers 5 M from the line SMI East passed it straight into Kon yeah I think he did that on purpose the he saw the big four coming his way and thought well I'll get another six again out of this beautiful Stadium absolutely glorious such a huge Improvement on the old one8 $59 could be yeah we all love the old one but this is a this is a bar better version a great Stadium keeps all the noisy last year was it last year the year before the CHS played sou it was that loud what it was a sinful di call in the angle 25 minutes gone CRA been very very good and very very dominant whad waiting left to smiies accelerates into that collision with Brandon Smith it's interesting what they're going to do with him because they lost Walker he's got to go the distance really his knee is gone cook Pap out in the back row he's up against Jennings and a few others and they deny him a couple of big men at Jennings they Brendan Smith laterally cannot move defensively when he's in a straight line he's fine anytime he props on that right leg and tries to move laterally side mate he's hobbling so if he goes in at half time it cools down a bit be interested to see if he can go in this second up look at that right that right me how much it's strapped up more footy here for CRA running towards the the scg ended alian Collins made a Nuance in the rck HRA turning it underneath the papal he's been largely off the bench in the last few weeks 6 me away H now back to Papik thought about a pass and realized that's not really his go Levi waiting behind horb C he's already got one whad and now he delivers a glorious ball sangi with the trve yeah that is tpping big men at this left-hand defense of the roosters Whitehead went through earlier white hit again but this time he's got to go to the offload to get it done but the Raiders have come here with a plan and an attitude I suu DX replay watch this whad on the edge again straight at KI on the top of him pops it up that's brilliant that is absolutely brilliant Raiders are here to play Big Man on little man Ki goes low sangi great support play Elliot Whitehead who's in the skipper having a good day out watch this he just says give me the ball gets a great offload out the back it's game on here is used to being targeted in defense but he's next to the veteran Jennings oh the old camra milk Jersey Talk of the old city football stadium they won a few premierships on the previous property 94 Mal mininga lifted the trophy in that very jumper sangi second try of the day yeah the roosters are on tilt [Music] [Applause] successful conversion for the Raiders for 21 Adam [Music] greatest big shout out to all services the green machine roaring Papaw Pap back oh there's the man himself he's on National coaching duties today Emma what can you tell us Matt's not looking good for Sam Walker so his afternoon is definitely over I said to the medical staff how bad are we talking is it AC they said look not 100% sure but I'll tell you this it is pretty bad so it's not looking good for the roosters finals campaign well that's devastating the game needs its best players playing at the right time of year he's hon young got them going backwards out there ball at the back on the ground and now they swing from one side to the other oh marot dropped it that was looking good was that that was his first touch he just came on the field for Cory horb the young man it's unfortunate he's a gun this young boy you watch him go May Andre are you prepared to say no Walker no premor ship yeah pretty much pretty much no I wouldn't go that far might look a bit clunky here today but it'll be when they can train for a week without him they're a very experienced side they got a lot of depth looks a bit clunky at the moment cuz they've just been hit on the chin with it everywhere and with respect to 58i where where would you stand with that if you have an opinion would would it be Manu he's got the unpredictability he he's Smith as you ponder that at five six minutes oh no he's lost the ball well the thing is they con Watson playing 58 today Conor Watson's Sensational 14 if if Conor Watson plays six that man on screen has to play 80 minutes Brandon Smith he's not an 80-minute player see I wouldn't weaken a strength to plug that you know you've got a kid in your roster there for that reason he's been doing the development he's been training with the team s and Smith you throw him in right this is what you've lived for son you're good enough we've had you here all along he's done his apprentic ship doesn't matter that those final throw him in let him do the job and that way everyone else just does their job the same rather than trying to plug a hole by moving someone from another position trust the young fell and they they don't let you down it won't be him that lets him down Bradley fitler what it does do it makes today's game so important if they win today's game they seal the top two two spot that means they win one game get a rest then it's only one one more win and they're in a grand final you go back to 2018 talking to Billy Slater it was Luke kir who played half back that day kuon was nearly he had a broken shoulder well they played with 12 men that day and a coach an onfield coach it was one of the best kick games he said he's ever had to defend but that's six years ago for well memories mate musle memory anyway they got their hands full with the Raiders at the moment they got to work way to win this one well SE some some of the top four teams the last couple of [Applause] weeks saw Canal get beat last night a penalty is this year where someone comes out of the pack although you have got the you got the the minor Premier pretty the melbour stor is sitting back just curling their out of sh out of mind they've got the luxury if they want to some more plays next week but Brisbane after that capitulation last night not playing through anything so if they want to get moner wake off they can well the other night against the Cowboys moner's performance in that yeah it was Dynamite he wanted the ball in his hand he had that look him goes Conor isy strength Duman run through El mate numbers if they can shift oh oh L wiad his ribs exposed then he didn't mean they stack the left hand Edge to go of K T poking through through offload what a tackle Savage a tri saer that sums up their desperation so far now Teddy running across the ground two bouncers picked up by Manu Manu trying to weave into [Applause] space last play roosters Kiri in position tupo welded to that sideline again he's the target he's always the target he'll take the catch they back off CRA get it back that was an unbelievable tackle byv oh they playing with great spirit fast moving defense working for each other great trust inside and out they're up to this one the [Applause] Raiders surrender here's KY weeks I heard Ricky seart say in a radio interview last week that cber would be completely lost without Kyo WIS this year he played several positions didn't he he's played fullback he's he's played in the outside backs five now cook off the top good kick and P bouncing down towards the goal line then takes a right hand turn and Teddy surrounded Tren Robinson half time Gus what's he what's he saying to to settle just settle take a breath I think about this all right it's not the game we were looking for few things have been thrown at us but we just need to settle down [Applause] here Tesco's wining everything car off to Jennings Jennings oh went to ground they were thinking about holding him up and dragging him there whad with the tackle he's been physically I I just think looking at them they've kind of come here knowing how Raiders were going to defend but trusting Sam walkter will produce the points or the opportunities with Sam gone doesn't look like they've gain plan for the Raiders defense he fast through from the inside so they probably just had a little think about that Sam's not there to give them the instinctive football and Raiders are pretty much reading everything else they throw at them they Pros they'll work it out four tries this year that's all had 11 last year [Music] I think like Ren has left the field too I mean Raiders have had their own oh penalty fourth tackle wow now this is a really important three minutes coming up here because the roosters are out of sorts the Raiders are full of running they lead by eight they could strike a telling blow right here in the shadows of halim K is hobbling around back play roers have just got to concentrate here steal themselves Raiders looking for a hammer [Applause] blow I like this young guy he's a player and a half once again Brandon Smith that KNE just collapsed on it [Applause] whad targeting K and gen uhoh he's all right his head offs there with k sound like Robson Mariota six more they just dominated sangi oh no they had the tackle count restarted dear [Applause] idea no no oh he's gone he's grabbing at that knee then he got up to run not another one you cannot believe this oh no this is a This Is The Stuff of nightmares well they left him out [Applause] there yeah so he surrenders first they're going to R the contact a so what's he saying that Smith has collapsed before he was tackled oh it's not a hep drop it's just well got him over the top oh dear all right Brandon Smith the latest casualty at 10 points to [Applause] two what about this Lonzo it's all over [Music] this is just absolutely extraordinary the last 24 hours yesterday and today has totally reshaped not just the finals but today it maybe the whole Premiership many people saying this roost just team a favorite he's gone to the [Music] [Applause] [Music] bin oh whad sent to the be I'm assuming a hip drop well that that didn't look like a the hip drops we've seen the last couple of years it look [Music] like he SE in real time was it hit drop or high tackle I think that they've said hip drop really all right well they've been defending what there's 15 of them so one more off won't won't matter so what do they do now they've lost the nine and the six so Watson's got in there C tuu was going to right center Manu must be Manu 58 oh look at this they lost the ball yeah they're they're shell shocked at the moment for a team that's so experienced they need to Rally together just pull together are you going to be captain now that he's off concentrate on the next couple of minutes get to the dressing room and have a committee meeting with the coach you're on the shot clock boys it's a very experienced side it's got a wealth of of depth CL 15 minutes of thinking music what's the depth in the the dummy half position well kind of watch there so you're looking at Connor Watson sand Smith K in Tesco in fine moving forward Z doer clay Zack Docker [Applause] clay Sandy Smith suddenly becomes a critical element of this Rooster's outfit in whatever [Applause] role win the comp you need luck this time of year you need all your big guns firing well the season is going to went too soon for cber they're flying home papal outside the 20 play back to Starling on the park now Hudson young a minute left in the H if they could score another one with a player in the S bin they would be on great terms with themselves Ricky might even smile at halftime that's down cook through smiies comes out to sangi Jennings jamming in with a good shot 8 m away cook now didn't get enough boot on it and the pahu white cleaning [Applause] up oh it's that okay we'll leave it to on report in the bin hardly [Music] [Applause] a 10 seconds everybody shot ball Thunderbolts mate they come from everywhere you never know when they're going to come Thunderbolts come from [Applause] anywhere good C gets it back picked up by Starling I think he's passed off the ground there hasn't he no look out Savage surrounded Manu makes the tackle and that will end a 40-minute segment that May well have uh well let's just say cast The Roosters Premiership aspirations into grave doubt Sam Walker serious knee injury no official diagnosis and Brandon Smith also a KN wow 10-2 camber leading the Roosters on the basis of the injury for Smith he'll be out for some time as well yeah it would have been a big halim for the coach Trent Robinson who's very experienced and the first thing he says was let's concentrate on the job at hand right here and let's concentrate on the things we can control all that's done it's in the past now how do we knuckle down and win this game so I'd imagine they' been a a bit of a committing meeting about positions roles the type of football they want to play and this defensive system that the Raiders have thrown at them let's see what they come up with well everything changes the whole way they attack has to [Music] change you know the rest of the seasons the rest of the R's Seasons might depend on this 40 minutes how they handled this how they actually stand up to the adversity they've had and how they regroup here that's the way I'd be selling it to them all right new season starts now this next 40 minutes is vital well in his final NRL season hasn't Luke Ki got a crucial role to play a Clark Churchill medalist he is going to have to guide this team into the finals well he has to do it all if Joey m is 5'8 he's he's not a big communicator and organizer and Conor Watson's is purely a runner at a dummy half so everything is off off King organizing playing on the ball kicking game big responsibility in the veteran half WS high and long taken by tupo don't forget to Des go in the equation as well 18 TR assist for him in the season admittedly he's not that organizing ball player but he is potent and here he is punching out of the back field Emma news for us Matt it is a likely syndesmosis injury for Brandon Smith so his afternoon's over he's on crutches at the moment and because that was Foul Play and Elliot Whitehead got bin Zack Docker clay the 18th man for the roosters has now been activated than C Moses Zach's a very experienced and very handy player play a number of positions but mainly dummy half is his [Applause] best seeing about the roosters too we just watch the the kick here now all season they've been the the team that have scored the most points by a long way than any team in the competition everyone's talked about their great attack and because of that no one really talks about their defense which has been Tor by their standards for most of the year we'll just assume that come finals time they tighten it up well now the team with the most points in the competition might have to win this comp based on a defensive attitude this this could be a real flip of the switch here about how they go about the rest of this train ship race they haven't had to rely on defense all year now they do so weeks is defending it fullback but playing in the halfes still he's wearing the number six Adam Cook of course has replaced fogy in the lineup for this afternoon's game toes go back to the 30 oh y tackled strong you can't run sideways against this defense you've got to go forward you got to take your bruises and go forward but run in [Applause] [Music] numbers that's better that's Bradley that's better great run that's your run we needed someone to offload to Su combes in the tackle it goes through butcher now to KI and Manu beting pron back now for Terrell May Terrell May with a kick Jennings juggles and knocks it on Jennings yeah but that's the formula right there running numbers run hard and straight just come out the other side that's the formula don't run sideways run hard and [Music] straight bang in there that's it right against the grain that's your formula it was a good kick but the last touch not executed yes Brad well that's the loudest the crowd has been after that Victor Radley Run either they're listening to Gus or they knew as well the team need to straighten up and just get the ball under the arm and run through the camber Raiders so one thing they haven't done today they've been able to bring this crowd in cber has done an incredible job of succumbing this [Applause] crowd tries to run out of that red zone earlier result the eighth Immortal was in the fetal position before this game kicked off and especially when the goal coach scored the first try but kin pong slay them 3614 it sets up an eighth place playoff on Old Boys day at McDonald Jones Stadium this time next week you'll see it live and free here on nine biggest game in the Dolphins history with short history I dare say it'll be the hottest ticket in town Newcastle it'll be packed can't white a totally reshaped Dolphins team too but just Hammer bris fullback hammer in the Cent a 58 will he bring Isaiah katawa back in Shaun O Sullivan played halfback went great nicar available too is back he's always got a few tricks the old coach there kept it all away from the media kept it away from everyone he made all the players sleep with a sock in their mouth so they wouldn't talk in their [Music] sleep this is nice this is an overlap this is Jennings dummies doesn't pass comes back infield oh they dropped another one well they've cracked them open twice in the last two sets well J Manu here he shows his class think so you watch Joseph Manu at 5'8 he'll straighten the attack and he'll double pump Watch what it does to the outside defense of the Raiders just watch Joseph Manu he gets the ball he straightens the attack he double pumps and gets the three on two on the outside that was class from [Music] Manu well they bombed a couple but they've gained in confidence again it will come down their defense if they can keep the Raiders to 10 they can win the game it's the defense that's the key they now found the key to making breaks ell wiad back on the field on 30 [Applause] I was just wondering how long until t comes back well there's the answer he dominated the first 20 and he's on the ground now Sebastian Chris on the 30 play to [Music] Starling good line speed there whad hard he's he's he's appealing for a chicken wing Luke Ki [Applause] we get a replay of this he wasn't happy then Elliot wiad he's not the most popular black at Al cook I don't think he cares no here it is he's the tackle ah there nothing move defense again no territory of anying significance for butcher May Angus kryon RS towards Timor s and marota the other tack he's over the halfway he plays it to Watson he can run tries to sell a dummy and now with backto back efforts cross to luk KI kick towards two panu and young but it's out of their grasp and hwat there's confidence sends it over to Kyle he is so quick oh how fast is he what a run I think Brad fitler said at Schoolboy level he he ran it below 11 second 100 m Sprint Fredy yeah he ran a 109 to win the 100 Sprint in year 12 wow running for Newington he's carrying an injury he's hobbling in back play he's been hobbling all day weeks sh nice work the pass goes to Chris Chris gets it away should be play on picked up by Hudson young he's able to stay in the field crowds found their voice now [Applause] last play n on it good game this isn't it there's some real at it after half time cooking yeah best you take the ground there because a couple of the camer players were running with a a Target yeah top and he you could see he was looking for a big tackle he was he was charging down there I don't think it's his favorite Sunday afternoon activity Dominic young catching High balls yeah I don't think it's his favorite his favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon he likes scoring tries yeah pretty good those final come early now Radley's been rattled he's holding his left arm Tois go for KI for Kon back to KI trying to create an extra man there's some room here tupo Tesco is there in support the kick goes back back to the middle of the ground H covers up but he's got T bearing down on him well Radley has not moved in back play he's holding an arm or a wrist wow look at that for a ball In Their Own Line Savage almost free oh Radley's gone you can't believe this that happened in front of you Brad yeah big hit from tarp the whole camera bench went up you could hear it from the sideline heavy contact and as Victor was trying to get to his feet he actually lent on his left hand and he just buckled straight away this isn't good no he's off the Raiders the Raiders are just about wreck the rest of season this afternoon just about he's not only off but he's he's got that arm r [Applause] again that end of the ground proving problematic by way of footwork this this balling play here we go fle that we're getting up to around 5 minutes and they look good the Raiders wait till the little men get some ball get some space but this fatigue around the middle of the field remember two they had their line broken a couple of times when they were down to shot that's Collins in all sorts it's hard to remember a more diabolical afternoon this I think a couple of sides had a diabolic all day yesterday well yeah I should I meant with injuries there there was I think there's a few other words to describe the dragons in Brisbane FL W not that enough walked down to the presser after giving his side a nice old bake so the 18th man Zack doer clay and Spencer lenu on the bench turnover if they could get out of this and win this game it would be a Monumental results Manu well they look more comfortable in the second half than they did in the first half they've actually got a little bit of direction and purpose about them here they got numbers here Toco C Jennings underneath but they they chase from the inside good shot good offload as well may across to Manu this is how he likes it disjointed defense defended away from cook the reinforcements came and taro's trying to smash everyone tarp he came from 20 MERS away then to get involved you think Rick's got him fired up for this may he's still down Joey Manu Ki missed the target Jennings the ball SP out the back if they pick it up the score Savage oh he's off Savage will win the race a loose ball pounced upon by camra and xavia Savage gets try 14 for the year oh wow you can just see if they picked up that rolling ball I didn't know if was Savage going for it but he was in the area gave the call and he's raced away he was the match winner against the Panthers before there's tarpan right in the short RI of Joey Manu Isuzu dmax replay watch this the ball out the back from Kier he misses the mark now they' just got to pick it up Savage is on the ground now he gets up well there's no one going to catch him from there soly too does a wonderful job keeping him a little bit wider and chased all the way but that's a hammer blow another Hammer blow for the roosters afternoon and the Raiders deserve it they've been terrific they've been physical they've had a plan their defensive structure has really upset the roosters and they've caused physical damage as well I wonder what they're thinking just over the road here at sou Sydney they got the roosters next week and it doesn't matter where any of these teams where roosters or sou are on the table they always lift what is that Friday night out of the cor Freddy well speaking to riy joob before the game and about Xavier Sav he said do a lazy parts of his game you just saw him drag himself off the ground support the ball play score just inside the post I think he's proved his to the coach that that part of his game has gotten better and there was never a team that deserve to try out of their defense in the first half they just frustrated The Roosters with their quick moving defense and then they've just dished out some punishment with the second half oh shock time off [Music] thanks to our offal membership partner red roer if you're sitting in the lucky Road you yourself an amazing red luer prize pack and tonight's Lucky Row is somewhere in The easn Concourse and in the Eastern confence our lucky Bay tonight is Bay 32 Bay 32 [Music] oury He's a fly he burst on seen a couple years ago as a fullback and made an immediate impression then had a long time out with injury but on the wing has been among the more consistent players for cber this year what about t he's taking them on singlehandedly we got an update on the new southwales cup so sand and Smith scored a try for the roosters today South Cup football he was goal kicking but couldn't take the last goal kick because of an ankle niggle but they're telling me it's not too serious so he's obviously in good for whad sangi Savage three tries all camra Adam Cooks two two Miss goal kicks kept it at two converted tries though the roosters need the lift [Applause] here there's not much the Raiders haven't won today they've won just about every aspect of the [Applause] game Watch Every medal of the par Olympic games from Paris 2024 live in 3 on9 and N J plus you can stream over 20 live sports channels online now get ready for the incredible Paralympics experience that is underway on nine penalty yes penylan with his first run back on the field took him on got a reaction out of the Raiders defense but it's been over the top so now they're penalized they'd love to have that man out there Jared waria Harr who suspended again D is there and Mark he might get a start next week hook up nice game to start up against the bunnies well it's might be saying the bleeding obvious but rooster needs a [Music] try you're holding on the him no [Applause] way it's on you for grabbing him first let go let go it's on for separate for goodness sakes kon's angry don't upset him per and Manu [Applause] Manu inside the 10 Watson waiting Ki kicking ahead well they're slipping and sliding everywhere can we get a back to Sun tackled Watson drills him into the turn he must have called Tesco offside here cuz had a free run for the ball right Challenge and then backed out of it okay white got a captain's Challenge from the Raiders on field we've rul that James Tesco pulls out and became passive camper challenging and say he had an involvement on the play yeah so the referee called Tesco offside and he backed up and pulled out of it now the Raiders have challenged saying that now he had an effect on the play he's in front of the kicker there to your left yeah he's in front of the kicker James Tesco is in front of the kick here we're playing on at this stage he'll make a little Dash the referee calls him he's going to get to the ball then the referee calls him out James Tesco now pulls out of the play and is no longer active Simi sangi takes [Applause] possession they really impressed with the referee today Todd Smith like the game there's no high contact and simy sang is tackled in goal the challenge is unsuccessful yeah it was a strange challenge what are they trying to say the Simi wouldn't have gone for the ball if Tesco wasn't there Emma some news it's all Happening Here on the sideline so it was hard to tell when Victor Bradley came off whether it was maybe a wrist or a forearm but they're telling us it's a shoulder injury so his afternoon is likely over wow I'm not going to say it couldn't get much worse cuz that would be the mock that was a great kick by cook pumped it flat and long yeah caught him napping a little bit they're expecting the short one they're so physical the Raiders they've been like this for a while great tackle oh hurry pass out the back juggle by Tesco and tapped on now to Collins H were back on the ground flat Ki Manu at the back they're all they're just all live with them good ball good hands but again there four Raiders there five look at them five feels like there's 20 of them out there some side to side stuff here for the roosters the Raiders racing over Manu with a kick it wasn't deep enough Savage has got it back look out look out Savage beat one yeah well that's just a frustration kick there well that's the that's what happens when you haven't got a dominant half out there players go outside a skill set but it's quite obvious they planned here today was Sam Walker that was the roosters plan Sam Walker let didn't get the points Sam's gone they didn't have a plan for this defense about the look of it is samig there's now Brandon Smith looks like there's no Victor so what's C mosis it's a high angle but yeah but respect time on the sideline uh depends on surgery can be 6 to 8 weeks can be 3 months if it's a really bad one if he's if he's if he's on crutches there's no chance he'll play for the rest of the year no it's the ligament that sits in between your Tib and your FIB high ankle incredibly slow healing if it's really bad it's surgery and it's it's a three or four month do you B build yep whatever that [Applause] means Dr Johns I push here but that's a good run yeah they're the runs they're the ones have been lacking he CED an accidental knee here as he's going down you've lost your challenge mate it was an accidental knee to the back of the head that butcher not it's not wh again is it well the roers are trying to win something they're trying to win the attention of the referee here challenge okay that's what it is okay had get out of it well with with a game of high emotion once again he's done a great job job Todd Smith kept the Cool Head yeah so a butcher uh I don't know how many are left on the bench for the roosters at the moment pretty sparse oh that's an accidental totally accident how was that aen round roers and the oh look at that shot Sun about to disappear over the back of the Blue Mountains it's been a sparkling day it'll be back tomorrow we hope always comes up even if you're a rooster coach yep sun will come up tomorrow anyway they're not finished here yet still 18 [Applause] minutes they can just get the first well taken Manu Under Pressure this this defense has been enormous today this is a team with the most points of any team in the competition by long white and they haven't looked like scoring a try back to Watson now Watson dancing offloading to kryon ball in one hand wiad there again oh he's kicked out of the ball Elli wiad what was where is your head at no no no no no no no no play he's just trying to kick the ball out of his head ter this is like backyard footing you tackle someone and try to knock the ball out watch this what's this tried to kick the ball out of his own I re he missed it too well he's trying to stop me from passing it y he might go to the bin again here yeah come here Elliot oh it's it's a real lapsing concentration and it's going to let them back into the game okay the all right that's his second trip to the bin well they need three scores the I can't believe [Music] that oh that's hilarious what's the clock here where are we 17 minutes plenty of time plenty of time and if they can't score against 12 R do we have a problem oh lenu put the bumper bars up on smiies there they're down inside the T if they can just get one you feel like they could really challenge here can they start the Revival played by May Watson he's really strong he's built low to the ground he's over the line but he's surrounded by CRA White now the tackle's well complete yeah tackle three straight back you go close but it's a little bit of a waste of a [Applause] [Music] tackle get their defense line sorted get organized bit of a breather look at him surging off the line oh K belted Hudson young absolutely smashed they are sprinting Off the Wall camber they are that hungry bottom of the screen look at Hudson K ites go try here they come too Xavier Savage he was looking to The Intercept he should have been worried about the tackle he just couldn't help himself there Xavier Savage zuu DX replay the ball will come over they slide well and yeah he's looking for the intercept and tupo goes over try for the Sydney roosters for number two Daniel T well he's the most prolific try scorer the roosters have had and he scored a crucial try here Raiders 14 [Applause] six The Roosters leading Tri scorer ever has scored a vital four-pointer and the dream is still alive can they get top two can they host a final here well who's kicking here is this Ki yes it's a it's a kick from TCH he nearly B it back but not [Applause] quite so big thanks to everyone and coaches s us in our 5050 just like you're going home with over $6,000 unbelievable better than Father's Day Father's Day well thank you to you thanks to everyone the same going to the stles roosters charity nest yeah break just get one maybe there's more to come 146 what a Time eight points the difference 15 minutes to go Raiders down to 12 they've been the better team for 64 minutes not over yet though oh Emma how busy you've been up and down prowling the sideline mat it is pandemonium down here I don't know if I've ever covered a game like this The Roosters medical staff are trying to watch the game activate 18th men and messages are getting mixed but I can clarify Brandon Smith has done his medial not syn asmosis like originally thought so but still quite serious so could be out for up to a month he had medial strapping on before the game and so did Sam Walker before the game straing around his knee Jennings in and Away not quite I tell you the Michael Jennings have a few years ago might have got through there tackled by Timo they get the play five Ki Tesco is running after it it's full back he got checked Tesco he got taken out and they can take the shot here if they W and get back to a converted trial escort now W man's off i'' be going for the try yeah you got to get your try as well you got them down to 12 men I'm worry about the others [Applause] later here we go this could be one of the great roosters wins it's on the cards well like I said this could this could set up the hole of September for them they've got piles of numbers out here again H rushed in trying for an intercept the ball didn't go to hand it's back to Watson they are being stretched massively what a good shot that is the ball went away from Kon though to May camra are just rifling in Manu Manu 3 m away they might be about to go back to back Ki through the middle fourth tackle oh somehow the Raiders have got it to knock on I thought it was a diving catch there for a moment by Starling but there is a knock on as he doesn't catch at the roosters run to the post they had two ball Runners here either side of him and he kept his eyes on the ball either side of him oh the ball goes to Collins Collins is untouched he played the ball from the time he left the defensive line in trouble here playing c mouse behind the scrum [Applause] caller so Manu went right and the defense matched him s M away I kind of feel like we've got to score Raiders are stripped on the right hand side over there they've been stoic defending their line but it's getting tough now Kon oneon-one Kon surging with all his strength look at that takes four or five Raiders to stop him it would be nearly impossible to stop them here Tesco Dage runs finds a gap can't get there again what a game [Applause] liri so the main playm is out of action for Tagle five Watson not a great pass Manu with a kick young with the running it's a great kick it's tapped over the sideline by cam the pressure will continue okay off camra into touch yeah they're going to back their defense to play the ball they didn't want Dominic getting a play on this one and it's more pressure they're getting they're down and that look at the the Raiders players it goes in over there on the Eastern side they're down on their hes down on their knees where do you want it here is to play the ball they're not ready for it roosters must score here they just have to score here the Raiders look toast they're they're out on their feet so Len went to May if they go left they've got about six on three out there Ki sends it wide it's a brilliant bit of Defense by camber they kept the ball alive how did they get over there ah standing a FL Riders fans he looked Destin to score Watson Ki now away to M now Manu into cook cook wraps him up hard no he doesn't he got the ball away now Watson Watson towards the line this is unbelievable Endurance by camera it's not over yet inside pass tadesco tackle get out and now one of the Raiders is down on the ground so they're down to 11 in the defensive line Terrell May who's that it's Kyo Wick's last tackle Ki a kick out wide two by Le that is the best bit of Def oh penalty roosters WS he'll have to come off weeks he cannot run there he is hobbling oh that's heartbreaking for camber they got there to the last tackle and survived and there's a penalty against them it's a penalty all right well Timo didn't trust his Winger he took too out they they can't hold on they just can't they can't can't possibly hold on here look at the sets 2 4 6 7 how long's Whitehead got a minute 45 too long can weeks defend in the line like the fullback does I don't know if he can get a body in the line they've got to make sure the RO to score out wide if they do underneath the fahu white from the Manu ball again Roost his leftand side has profound numbers against three or four Raiders Defenders Zack Docker clay ball on the B cesco through cesco will score now Andrew thinks there's obstruction the bunker will be asked well they've played the man have no try they an obstruction on the camera Defender we can't get to him [Applause] mate just keep your eyes on Angus kryon the ball will go behind is that Simi s at this point Angus kryon is in front of the ball and in the line look he just makesi should be able to come forward and defend in the play and roosters gain an advantage we have a decision the Raiders have the Raiders have done it the Raiders have done it that's have you seen defense like that all year oh it's brilliant they milked it in the end but it's brilliant they're so courageous but they absolutely milked it they used the bunker as a Defender there y they're not dumb this has been an incredible performance by the visitors and this is the game now we're rewarding this sort of stuff where's Elliot white he's getting ready with a minute to go still got eight minutes plenty of time just have a minute right ahead will be back we got to complete this set and get it down the other end of the field that's what they got to do that was an extraordinary period of defense here from the Raiders incredible roosters had to score well they have to score twice so having not been able to breach camra's line there means they need two tries in 8 minutes Levi running with real dash out on that right hand Edge play back to weeks who's still uh still out there and trying to get some movement back into that leg T inside the 30 the left boot of Adam Cook kicking out towards Dom young habat is out there young takes it well but that's where you want to give them the ball back Oh's got a problem it's cramp he probably not the only right of cramping up white heads back Emma what's the crowd here they've been they've been on the emotional roller coaster today have they ever met 22,8 66 fans were on hand to witness one of the most chaotic unpredictable and quite frankly insane matches we have ever seen we've still got two well not two minutes 7 minutes too my eyes aren't working Tomo that's all right just don't go into labor and we'll be fine out the back Manu a cross now to young young keeping it alive Manu dribbling in behind and Hubble he's dived on it now Dom Young's cramping HB slow to his feet H's falling over there'll be a race for the Ice Bar so they' they've had two sbin the Raiders and the roost just scor one try incredible unbelievable leading Point scores in the competition I I've seen a lot of games in my life she is I'm going to remember this one it's been incredible and it's still not [Applause] over Levi they thought they'd caught one of the markers offside someone y six again the referee is the man that matters now a kick high for Savage he's been taken out oh he says it's play on wow she he looked to have been taken out for sure meanwhile Teddy has raced up field well there were two penalties at the other end for exactly the same thing as what happened to Savage there m exactly the same thing tra stepping inside of SE Chris and Adam Cooks there h on to go five and a half they need two tries if they get one here get ready for a thriller it's a mile of time it's a mile of time well the dragon sh that didn't they yesterday Conor Watson wonky pass J on the bounce Raiders are out on their feet they can't lift their legs Collins oh shock [Applause] th on the 10 Ki Manu looping pass they read it beautifully young givs it out the back picked up for not quite by T taple on the ground there's a second kick coming it'll be Manu he kicks him behind and the Raiders have done it again look at the Raiders players doubled over hands on hips hands on heads look at them they're all strewn over the place they won want to drop the ball there'll be no one in the defense linr they're out on their feet the big fell is sucking it in I need someone to run it it's Savage they're only running one at a time everyone else is just trying to get some oxygen in the lungs this has been where's the tickle juice i k of it there'll be a different sort of juice on the bus going home let me tell you if they can pull this up that would be a fun bus trip wouldn't it more from Emma and that butcher has failed his hiia so I know there's only four minutes to go but that's crucial obviously for next week with the mandatory 11-day standown period so he won't be able to face the Rabbid o unless he gets a special exemption so add that on top of no Sam Walker suspected ACL Brandon Smith medior and Victor Bradley serious shoulder injury as well well if you got a roosters jumper turn up tomorrow and see if you get a game next week they got plenty I can't win it without those three Jennings great T off again that's what hit W [Applause] hit Zack Docker clay three and a half remain a fraction less K's dropped the ball brilliant watch this watch this tackle from Denny L first just watch how much he Sprints in what Captain chance from The Roosters on field Rings the first knock on was roosters then CRA he had he's hurt himself so there's a touch on the ball here by Danny Levi just need to determine if the ball's been [Applause] passed it's a pass by Luke Ki and the ball is knocked on by Danny Levi the challenge is [Applause] successful this afternoon official presented by Metro 27239 thank you to all to support your syney roers on let's go Z pack

oxygen they got a kickoff one more Chase and a set of six of defense this has been one of the most Monumental defensive displays I've seen in a long long time on a weekend where just about every team in the conf they're scoring 30 and 40 points the Raiders have come here today and tackled their hearts out now they got to do it for another minute young infield they're trying out on the extremities but camber mark up again played by Young Manu [Music] foru they've got 75 M to travel k for Manu set piece out to the left Tesco Jennings Kyo weeks gets in his way and help from Whitehead three tackles used not at the halfway yet Manu prominent Watson now turned over by Hudson Young play to Docker clay Mar involved every play oh I don't think that was intended for Terrell M here is's blowing up that was for me says here it is he come down to a kick a run over a kick last tackle Ki at the back Tesco he can't get through he's pulled over by the boot laac as he's up and off again they keep the ball alive there's numbers out here Watson tupua now for nefu white white keeps it alive doer clay tupua with Dominic young he runs out of room oh passing at all cost for the roosters Ki The Wing is unmarked the ball's going to bounce for two B [Applause] SC get out of town unbelievable unbelievable [Applause] wow Luke kry arm is a cucumber after all that flurry of passing and which the game on the line he'll steady himself in the middle of the field and sees reliable wingman out to the left he knows he's there I've just got to get it to him look where tupo is he's in the crowd Savage can't stop him and he gets it down now Luke K's got to kick a goal from the sideline to level us up what a Sunday afternoon this has been times like this I wish we could get their heart rates oh is a dmax replay if we could get their heart rates from those GPS they wear you could you can get an inkling of of Luke Ki how much fatigue is in the legs well he's very much a part-time kicker these days we left the last one out to the right Gus y Freddy well he's kicked three from six this year we're down to the third string kicker for the roosters and if he gets this it's a home semifinal I just saw earlier whad walk up to him I think he wished him best of [Applause] luck when you love to know what's going through that mind right now for Golden point he misses they lose it's out to the left camra win what a game 42 to the green machine [Applause]
