Match Day Thread: Dragons V Roosters, Anzac Day

[Guest]

Special mention to SKD for his trademark jumper grab on Nightingale after he caught the short kick off.

No sign of any desperation whatsoever!

[Rocky Rhodes]

We Out choked the chokers. Complete inexperience killed us...only souffs can lose one like that.

[Chook Norris]

Mini's try was a try. How could he tell 100% if he was held up? The chances were he scored more than he didn't. Even the commentators said at worst a BOD. But we can't buy one. Let's see what Billy has to say.

The advantage no-call 5m out and the blatant Soward knock on. Those were really the only calls I was pissed off with.

We blew it but the boys can stand proud and they will learn from this.

I hate to find excuses but Mitchell was needed deperately today. He would have carved up a tired Dragons defense.

lets just leave the refs out of this mate

In hindsight the worst thing that happened was the penalty in front with 6 to go. We were dominant with the ball but then looked tired in the last 2 minutes

In hindsight i agree, at the time i was jumping for joy. But a repeat set would have eaten up a bit more time, pushed dragons into their own half at worst, at best could have been 4 or 6 points instead of 2. But with an 8 point lead should never have lost it

Let's not...Dragons forward passes by Hornby all day that weren't pulled up.


I said to mrs b-b when our backline was put up on the big screen that we would not win the match.

Rookie winger, no Justin Carney, BJ in the centres.

Our lightweight forwards got simply run straight thru in the middle of the field for Dragons first try.

BJ is not a centre, he's a winger, how many times do I have to say it.

Farrk off mate.

The ref's were bad, but they weren't the reason we lost.

Not even close.

Please remember to be civil towards each other, I know the loss is frustrating and upsetting, but keep it clean, mature and genuine.

Listening to the game the commentators were blaming penalties given to both sides (hard to blame the refs this week)...
Watching the high(lo)lights on the news, our defense & their trys looked very soft...
Player selections have been confusing (lack of Mitchell & Mortimer for starters, (can't even find a spot on the bench) but we still should not have lost that game at the back end...
Very frustrating for fans ...

Yes close.
Had they been pulled up we would've had much more possession.

When Mitchell and Carney were playing we were winning games.

Im presently on nightwork, and did not see anything of the match, until I got to work and saw the fulltime score on the news. To say I am livid is an understatement. Bloody hell supporting this mob will take years off my life, they continue to find new ways to suck the life out of me. Sadly I will be back again next week hoping for a win. Great crowd though.

[horrie hastings]

Ben Hornby mom?

Everyone on the field played better...except BJ!

What a rort!

Mitchell Pearce and Mini were the best 2 players on the field.

[Guest]

My advice to everyone is to laugh about it.

[Guest]

That was heartbreaking. (Most of the) boys played really well for 75 minutes. Man.....depressing..

[Guest]

The no advantage call when Morris knocked on.
The two man strip on Maubs (I think) that lead to a saints try.
Jamie Soward clearly walking the mark at least twice in first half.

Saints received their usual gifts from the &^%$ in pink.

We got a back chat call and the Weyman drop I thought was iffy.

Chook.
