ANALYSIS: Roosters a class above this season, while Broncos need a change of mindset
There were some really good games of footy this weekend, especially the Eels-Raiders match on Saturday night, but I was really impressed with the way the Roosters dug deep against St George Illawarra on Friday.They've got their game plan nailed on. Everyone knows their role really well, they're working together as a team, it's very hard to beat their defensive line, their structure is spot on and I think the older guys are really stepping up.
I believe it was a bit of bad luck and bad timing. I can't put it down to the surface of the ground, but saying that, I'm sitting from a totally different perspective in the stands. Verrills was just a freak accident. He's just gone for a run, nobody's touched him and he's done his knee. When you see someone go down like that, you know that's a pretty scary injury.
Waerea-Hargreaves played 73 minutes on Friday against the Dragons, and I think he can step up to that level week after week because he won't want to let his team down or his club down. I think you need a good four or five guys to show their leadership, to make sure the guys are on the same page and that they are driving what needs to be done for the club.
I know every player up in Brisbane is super competitive and they want to win. At the moment, it's just not working for them, but I don't think you need to go through rock bottom to understand.If I lose one game, it hangs around for a long time and I can't wait to get out onto the field. To lose week in week out, it would be burning those players.
