Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[Kramer]

Are you saying that you had to cry today because we can't find our way home?

And there was a hole in his shoe that was letting water.

[Qld Chook]

I like it.

I can see how this is appealing given our lack of options and just how good Manu is at fullback but this would just be 5 steps backwards for me. I thought today showed we need two genuine halves. Teddy is a runner, just like Manu and would have the exact same shortcomings Manu did at five eight. Just my thoughts.

[Sentimentinel]

Were there any 6 agains in the game? I can't recall.

7 players with over 100m running meters, a great team effort in a tough environment. Really happy with Sandon and Whytes performance. Wasn't the prettiest of wins but 2 points is 2 points.

I would really wanna see Wong over May personally get a go in the 17 and I hope Sam can come back soon because Sam/Sandon could be a very effective pairing.

Agree.

Out of all this doom and gloom and injury woes, the redemption might start with Sandon and Sam pairing up - Sandon is a bit bigger than Luke and has a boot on him.

Atkins the crook, gutho just stripped manly player standing in in goal, multiple players in tackle, play on and verbally backed by commentators too.

So many on the spot rule change/interpretations that surround our games.

Not in the act of scoring my ass

I don't think so. The ref was still frigging useless though.

[ARD]

sandon Smith, manu , tups , n butcher all good everyone else ...meh

Thought Whyte was excellent for limited FG experience.

[ARD]

Great attitude today from the boys

Yeah you don’t win games like that when the coach ‘has lost the dressing room’

[MCMLXVI]

Hopefully not Manu, in any game.

[On the Nose]

Hopefully not Manu, in any game.

Clever

I’m not sure if Newcastle got one or if it was then given a penalty We did not get one and this is the second time in our last three matches we haven’t been given one

[Lydon]

lol… how bout now?

Now I’m smashed mate hahaha

So happy to win!

[RoosterBooster]

Sandon Smith forced one in the first half

is hutch a genuine first grade half? he filled in well today and has a good left boot and he's an option.
sandon looked good and with rads back at lock who can ball play a bit we might be able to get by with teddy at 5/8.
one thing that today showed is that joey does better when he's got a bit of space, better than he does at 5/8. teddy is better at the close quarters stuff. he wouldn't be as ineffectual as joey was at 5/8.
it's hard to get the balance right, but another point is that we'd get more out of joey at fb than at centre.
