Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Broncos

[ARD]

that new rule is the dumbest shit I have ever seen, youre meant to give opposition a clear run and signal of who is about to kick at goal

Bizarre hey, if you’re behind the play the ball you should be able to stand where you want.

Dafuk is the stupid 1/2 time 'rap'?

Lyrics as I hear it: 'Blend-tech is here [chorus: ooooh oh aaaah] yeah we runnin and dealin' drugs and shyte... blend-tech is heeeere blend-tech is heeeere'

Surely they can do better?

[ARD]

Have to wait to see if they win but thought it was a tactical error not to put Sandon Smith on at the 30 minute mark.

Personally thought cheese looked ok, just lacked options/ runners at times. Few plays he had no one to pass to

[bondi.boy]

Great rule V’landys. You’ve saved the game with that one

just another way to, well...you know.

[Teddy]

Good defence and energy but sloppy at the end.

Going exactly to script with these damn refs what a blight on the game they are.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Great control and defensive half of footy from us. Vic, Cheese , Lindsay and Sitili (except for late Pen) all very good.

Love that we are hunting the intercept, teams should train more for that. And also that mix up combo from Kez and Ted on the short drop-out.

Would like some more plays inside their 20 though. We must have trained for those situations, don't just go through the motions and hope.

[milanja]

Suaalii , vic and Manu our best by far. Not much else happening with all the ball we’ve had

[Jacks Fur Coat]

thats a ****ing dive

Yeah Gee got conned. Poor refereeing.

[mightyrooster]

We let them back into it near the end as we started to get sloppy in discipline. Up until then we’ve been controlling possession well and starving them of opportunities. Got to keep it up.

Yeah you could see the ref was like 'if they're anywhere near the ruck then it could be a penalty'. I hate the guy but can tell he's just doing his job for the powers that be in this case... must take a certain amount of strength to hold back and not be like 'I think it's as stupid as you do and Brissy shoulda lost their stupid challenge over it but it's the rules now'.

[ism22]

Lawyer's challenge is my suggested innovation. One where an independent lawyer can overrule the ref and the NRL's instructions to refs...

Better than the worst national anthem performance I have seen, that was awful.

I’m not sure how you are meant to set up for a field goal now Or if in fact it is possible Where is Collins in particular mean to stand I think This rule will be selectively applied to some teams and not to others

[Easts75]

Teddy looks sooooooo slow out the back on the sweeping play.

[bondi.boy]

There are going to be a lot of disallowed field goals this year

Only if we kick them...you watch.
Can't see teacher's pet teams being disallowed for it.
