You can't help but admire the guts and determination of the Roosters, who have suffered injury setback after setback this season yet continue to find ways to win. No team in the game's history has seen three players retire in the one season, yet the Roosters have battled on without the experience of Boyd Cordner, Jake Friend and Brett Morris. Against the Knights last Friday night, they trailed 8-0 early and lost two players to leg injuries in the first half, winger Matt Ikuvalu and centre Billy Smith. Yet somehow a patched up Roosters team clawed their way back to lead 10-8 at halftime and then coasted home in the second half for a 28-8 win over a disappointing Knights team. The Roosters should be out of the hunt with all the players they have missing - but are hanging in there and are still a threat to the big guns heading towards the finals.
