Two of the Rooster's tries were from bombs (though they were cross-field bombs). They might not have been completely random but they certainly weren't what I would consider a properly directed cross-field kick. There was definitely an element of luck in it... and by that I mean it was mostly luck.
I don't find what's going on with the Roosters at the moment surprising at all. Right from the start they were never in my top 8. I put them 2nd or 3rd last before the season even started. Even before Gasnier was out I never had the Dragons making the 8 either.

Kicks are valid, bombs are not. There is a big different between a cross-field kick or grubber and a bomb.brogan77 said:

If you can't see the difference you are an idiot. A bomb is luck not intentional like other kinds of kicks.brogan77 said:Hahahaha whatever dude. Cos a bomb isn't a kick, aye.

the bomb is not always luck. there are sides today who pratice kicking to their wingers, who are professionals at jumping to catch it. they also bomb just utside the ingoal and then force a restart.iamsickofyear12 said:
anyway who cares roosters are still shit yippie hammer time
Bomb and cross-field kicks are different and there is an element of luck in it but teams do practice for it but a lot rides on the luck as well. I watched the game and the bombs most certainly weren't that good but just from two very good catches IMO which got the Roosters ahead. Simply put - Individual brilliance.
Cross-field kicks are lower with a lot more direction to who they want to hit on the chest at the end. A grubber is similar to the bomb but oviously the element of luck rides on the bounce of the ball. All are different but a bomb is a type of kick.

Just because they train for it doesn't mean luck isn't a significant part of it.extraordinary07 said:
I never said bombs weren't kicks, I said they aren't as valid as other kicks which are much more controlled. Luck is more important in bombs than any other kick.
There is also a difference between a good tactical bomb with proper direction and a kick the shit out of it and hope bomb. The bombs in the Roosters game were the second kind. The tries were lucky. While the players who caught them and scored did a good job all it says about the team is that they can't score without a good amount of luck to help them.

lol one win and they harness the pride of a nation piss off they have some okay players but a shit coach and the guys in the office are obessesed with short term success.
lol and now anasta is a certainty for NSW 5/8, this season is just getting better lol. how good will it be like anasta and gower/orford/kimmorley versus lockyer and thruston we are in need of a shovel we are in deep shit and so are the roosters.

says who anasta is a 5/8 certainty for blues? he's likely but you can't say kurt gidley is out of the picture. he has easily been the knights best player in every game this season and nsw would be going straight to doomstown if they don't at least have him on the bench as a utility.
to another story, anyone heard about the richie williams saga? what a dipstick! he's played a few games and reckons he's got the woods on anasta. i mean, shit, it's like saying sri lanka will flog aust in the world cup final. i hate people who dont admit to defeats.

He's an arrogant little fool and I could tell just from the style of game he plays when he made his debut.
He can't live up to the hype, he'll be gone by season's end of Gasnier is to return to 5/8th position.
They should give Range Chase a go!

lol bomb isnt kick? I mean wtf
AS far as i my understanding a bomb is a type of kick - where ball travels meteres - as vertical as possible into the air. resulting in a dropped catch or one of your teammates catching it and scoring
Luck is invovled everything - although is luck to kick to right hieght or is it luck that one of your teammates managed to get to the ball?
Anyway - anasta for origin if thats case NSW are desperate..
Gidley vs Hodgson for Full back - otherwise Gidley as utility.
Gidley form is brillaint and he played really well against Broncos you play well against them you virtually play well against half the Kangaroos team.

Minichello? I doubt it. Stewart maybe. Hodgson drawback is he cant kick - but is defence is simply outstanding. Gidley can kick and defence is just as good.chocolate_lover said:
Minnichello imo isnt good enough - he isnt that quick nor is he that good in defence.
Wondering I mean Buderus has the hooker spot cos he is captain - but Farah deserves it - he has been oustanding, maybe he could be on the bench or something.
Brett Sherwin was good for the bulldogs - he could be no.7 for the BLues has the experience.
