Possibly but who knows .....one thing that came from tonight for me was that if sean wane can get england/gb fired up then the ashes and world cup are there for the taking , in 2 years time a pack of thompson, clarke,walmsley, bateman,philbin and smithies has nothing to fear from an aussie six'"
I didnt want you to win, I had Sydney by 10+, I was gutted when ref gave that penalty end of the game that led to walmsley try.
But
Good effort
Think both teams will consider their performance as no better than maybe 7/10 but performing at those levels Roosters just had that bit of extra class.
Pack stood up well (I'm guessing Roby was either still not 100%, undercooked which would be understandable, or it could be that hes just on the Wane).
Saints give it a good go and fair play to them even with the 3 missing. Roosters will point to being a but rusty and obviously missing a couple of players themselves.
As for the Wane comment, seems like Woolf had then up for it and gave them thebunsteuction to have a Belt at them. That's certainly ly something Wane will want from his players.
