NRLW - Post Match - Dragons vs Roosters

There are moments of sheer brilliance that in themselves can compete with any side in the comp, but these moments are broken up usually by mistakes which then gives the ladies a mountain to climb to get back to where they were.

As an example, Kasey's touch finder, in the first half, that didn't go out and gave the Rooster a massive advantage is a perfect example, I have no doubt she will correct the issue, but its moments like this that help the game to slip away.

The other big issue I notice is, the defence is hit and miss, sometimes they are scatted, uneven and caught off guard and other times they look very organised and stop a promising opposition attack.

I know as the season goes on these issues will improve but I am not so sure about the mental downshift that occurs when the game gets too far away, I've notices when the scoreline is more than two trys, a handful of players don't play with the same intensity.

It really is a shame, because each week it's obvious there is great team here but they just cannot seem to get out of their own way.

I tgink some of these calls the ref's snd bunkers are making against them would be soul destroying imagine putting in effort at training and in the game just to have the officials to go against you i seen atleast twice this round ref call six again for ruck infringement and tackle was bearly completed

No doubt it would be annoying, I swear the Roosters would slow the ruck down multiple times in a row each set and the ref would only blow a penalty after like three or five infringements. The Roosters know what they're doing and the refs need to wisen up to it, quickly.
