Roosters bomb out

The Roosters have been the NRL's HIA kings over the past two seasons - and it all caught up with them to send them spinning out of the premiership on Sunday.The loss of strike players James Tedesco and Angus Crichton in the first half and a series of other heavy knocks KO'd the Roosters in one of the most brutal games of the modern era.The Roosters' other downfall was their inability to take use of 'power plays' when Souths had players in the sin bin.They should have dominated when it was 13 v 11 in the first half - but kept running one out and making unforced errors.In the second half, they had an extra man again when Souths had Tevita Tatola and Taane Milne in the bin along with Rooster Victor Radley - but couldn't make an impression.They needed to change the game plan on the run, toss the ball around, and their failure to do this ultimately proved their undoing.
