Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Roosters

[Lydon]

Radley with a terrible pass 2 minutes into the game.. jesus christ we're in for a long one lads.

Hopefully Radley can learn a lesson from Keary on how to act when one of your team mates make an error..

Keary had every right to blow up yet handled it with all class,hopefully Victor learns something..

let's go chooks ...

Absorbing game, great comeback by the guys. The dangers from them are the offloads and quick play the balls but we weathered that storm. And replied with interest.

Teddy, Keary, Suaalii, Billy all on song and causing Parra big problems. We got this esp if we can focus and cut the unforced handling errors.

Horrible call penalising Billy for a strong chest tackle on their line when we had them on the ropes. Jeez hes been hitting hard.

Credit to Lindsay and Cheese in the guts too.

Fk I want to keep Aussie Joe next year.

Vic and Hutch need to get the energy up, everyone else cookin.

Bring it home lads.

Collins is superhuman. What a beast he is these days

[Crab]

Playing like a bunch of Michael Jordans and not enough Chicago Bulls.

That last 15 minutes more like it.

Full steam ahead second half please.

Don't watch basketball . Please explain ,lol . .

Big Second half coming up as Parra will come out all guns blazing as they say - Roosters need to match it and not think for one minute they have done enough.

Need to reduce errors and get to the kick in sets and be better discipline wise - 4 set restarts conceded.

Tackles - Roosters 187 ( 16 missed) - Parramatta 143 (26 missed)

Nervous. We must be prepared for an ambush.

[Steggles]

Our defence is incredible tonight

Our defence has been very good so far and our attack is getting better. So pleased to see glimpses of the old Luke Keary. As usual, too many mistakes by Radley putting us under pressure. We seem to be missing some mongrel in the middle without JWH and Brown; our hardest hitting player is a centre!

We need to be have fewer errors in the 2nd half to win this as the Eels won’t go away.

[Ray Stehr]

Brilliant.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

How much difference does it make when your fullback plays the pass as an additional threat. Onya Ted!

A lot of people on this website will be upset at the score so far
