Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[DP1990]

We look like 40 minute (one half) specialists.

Not good enough. Also, Teddy needs to be dropped or rested.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Tedesco special. gets worse with every game

manu should be the fullback.

only back than can actually create opportunities.

[RoosterFanNZ]

round 17 and we managed to play well for one half...roosters footy hey?

cant wait for this loss to be blamed on Sandon Smith by robbo and be dropped to nsw cup for not letting teddy know he was going to pass it to him

[bondi paul]

We are no chance next season with the Robbo /Tedesco partnership.

So much inexperience in that team. There are some serious selection issues. Robinson seems to have anointed some players and dumped others. Tedesco needs time off. Either he has lost his confidence, or he is exhausted. One more season like this and Robinson will be under some serious pressure. Nick doesn't like failure.

[Lydon]

We’ve fallen away. At least we showed 20 mins of contest.

still can’t believe how far this team has fallen and how the coach believes all is fine

He will be excited with the challenge ahead

[Sentimentinel]

The raiders played ok but not great. We look so far off achieving sustained dominance in games.

Some diamonds in the rough sure, but too much rough. Teddy ran for over 200 ineffectual meters, and Manu cant get his winger away.

Turpin was awesome and Billy made no errors. Yay.

As soon as hutch came on, we were finished .Watch it on replay if you don't believe me Sandon smith goes to dummy on numerous occasions because hutch is running around in the middle like a headless chook. So you have your halfback and playmaker at dummy in general paly because hutch is hopeless. I don't think so and if Robbo ever picks this dud again, he needs his head read.

[roosterchook]

We played well but the Raiders depended on the luck of the high ball and it got them the win. I don’t think there’s much we could have done to stop those tries. Then there was the forward pass. Our season is over by now.

He will be excited with the challenge ahead

like he always says "its up to him to find a way" cause its always about him

tbf sandon set up Lindsays try from hooker and wouldve set up another if it wasnt for tedescos buffoonery

if it wasnt for the referees bias I would love jwh as captain

Agree definitely a keep.

[HunchoRooster]

Well... that's where we are. That's who we are.

Played well for about 10minutes and expected to win. Season over in terms of finals.

Saddest thing is Canberra are nothing and didn't play amazing to beat us. Just respected the footy and competed and they won.

[HDTONE]

One thing we can't be labelled...dominating a game.
Thats in the past
