The Sydney Rooster Hosting  The St. George Illawarra dragons at  A record crowd of 40,864 people  at the Sydney Football stadium waiting for the Anzac day rugby league clash. Both teams in the top 4 on the Nrl ladder which was sure to add extra spice to the showdown. Being Anzac day there are a lot  of emotions that floats around the rugby league field when you are remembering the people who helped save this country. The  dragons have won  10 of the last 15 Anzac goes against the roosters who have only won 5.

This game was a gripping  game of league that had a lot of mistakes but made a lot of twists on the way.

I think playing and acknowledging ANZAC Day with a good game of league is

Silence filled the crowd at the Anzac day clash  when the  last post is played on the trumpet.

.The 40,864 people stand in silence for a minute to remember those who sacrificed themselves  to save this country. For the dragons and the roosters to play on Anzac day it is a privilege for them and 2 other teams, the New Zealand warriors and the Melbourne storm. It is the biggest day of games in the regular season of  Rugby league.When the players get there with 40,000 people in the crowd it is a pretty good way to get the blood pumping and get the emotion to attack the game of rugby league. Players say it overcomes them when they hear the last post and seeing  the excitement in the crowd crowd you get caught up in the emotion of the game.

I think there were a lot of mistakes made by both teams, in the first 40 minutes.

In the first half the roosters had an early let of in the  7 minute of the game with Gareth widdop uncharacteristically missing a penalty goal from right out in front.Yet another error from the dragons when they get denied a try by Jason nightingale losing control in the air and knocking it on right on the line.The roosters next to butcher their first attacking opportunity.With the set piece not going to plan with the roosters pass going to ground which almost was a good thing but Michael Gordon slips and but gets the ball away And the roosters knock it on.So both teams making too many errors.But the mistakes wouldn't stop Joel Thompson  from stem rolling over 2 roosters fords to give the dragons a 6 point lead with the kick going over.Finally a spark from the dragons to give the crowd something to roar about.just a good play from an individual to start the game and wake the players up.another piece of brilliance from and individual Michel piece coming so close to the line but was came up short.it was a devastating lose for the dragons losing their captain Gareth widdop to a knee injury just before half time. Half time  both coaches wouldn't be impressed with the amount of errors and the game not flowing the way the would want it to.

There were some big turning points in the game.

The dragons slowly falling to pieces with Gareth widdop out of the game.it would only take the rooster 10 minutes to score the first points with Michael peise kicking the ball it to the goal line and Blake foraging grounds  the ball to score the try. Michle piece missing the kick at goal which would still leave the Struggling dragons in front by 2 points. Michle piece being almost everywhere.This time convincing everyone he had dropped the ball over the line.But with the great TMO who checks the try  found him losing the ball but regathering and scoring to put them in front. Michael piece kicking the goal in front to give them the 4 point lead.The dragons them clicking their line drop out out on the full.which give the roosters  a penalty right in front. Michel peise take the 2 points to make it 6 12 to the roosters.The rooster playing the game they wanted to be playing in the first half.There not giving the dragons much ball and the flow of the game for the roosters is superb. So with the dragons trailing by 6 leaves them scrambling for a converted try. Nene MacDonald gets a pass on the ground and bounce up  he breaks 5 tackles and smashes over to score in the 77 minute of the game.With no Gareth widdop the kick would full in the hands of dragons  fullback josh dugan. The pressure was on for  josh to get the kick to level the scores to take this Anzac day clash to golden point.The kick goes over straight thru the middle.Golden point know on the mind of all the players,crowd.coaches, and fans from around the world watching this game.Golden point is first team to score points wins.It wouldn't take long for Michael peas to kick the drop kick to win the Anzac day clash between the Dragons and the Roosters.

This game had too many mistakes in the first half.But the roosters manage to come together and win the game 13 to 12.I recommend all league fans to watch this tight gripping Anzac day game between the dragons and the roosters.It will keep you entertained for the whole 80 minutes and more.I recommend you to check out the http://www.nrl.com/   Nrl Website to see all the latest league score,fixer,finals, and other competition.
