Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Broncos

[DirtyHarry]

Being a Queenslander, there’s nothing better than beating the broncos.

[King Salvo]

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

Not sure how they will police this going forward.

The Bunker was ruling on if the player was in play or just there as a so called blocker - Lindsay Collins was one off the ruck and the one penalised - Brandon Smith passed the ball back to Sam Walker instead of Lindsay Collins. Nor sure what Lindsay Collins was supposed to do.

If it was to be a penalty then Victor Radley would have been the one penalised as he ran across the field to be behind Lindsay Collins as he was not a player potentially in play - i.e receiving the ball from Brandon Smith.

Also a few on here are querying whether the shoulder charge on Toops should have been a penalty try or Reece Walsh sin binned - Be interested in what the NRL interpretation is in their review of this match

Penalty Try Further, if circumstances warrant it: ‘The Referee (or Review Officials) may award a penalty try if, in his opinion, a try would have been scored but for the unfair play of the defending team. A penalty try is awarded between the goal posts irrespective of where the offence occurred.’

The professional foul in rugby league embodies a similar concept to other sports, a deliberate breach of the rules in order to prevent a scoring opportunity. The penalty for this offence is 10 minutes in the sin bin.

Strange comment Rooster36. Do you think most chookpen readers are racists?

[Crab]

IMO it was a massive difference and he pulled off a stack of crucial, momentum-swinging plays. Teddy was the sensei and Walsh was the teeny grasshopper... time to get back to waxing old mate's car, ya coke-snorting rookie of the year.

Solid effort! Still early days but IMO with Keary/Walker/Sandon/Brandon clicking better what we're seeing is that suddenly Teddy, Manu and Sua'ali'i look like gold. Maybe... just maybe they were getting bullshyte service last year?

Wong, Butch, Collins, May and Leniu... STFU! How damn good are they?!?

Early days but IMO lotsa great vibes to build upon (noting, I don't think Brisbane are top-4 material this year so there will be surprises against other random sides... Brissy aren't the standard to beat).

PS - who are the chain smokers? Random. Probably Walsh or Mam, chain-smoking their coke...

I haven't heard of them bur I'd say they're a band lol

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Glad you said most of us Jack. Love Joey

Haha...I chose my words in honour of that Mighty One. I just find it disappointing that a man (sorry person) of the world like Ism only gives us pics and shouts out to blokes, no pretty gals honoured as well.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

where is Les Miserable and his summation of the win? Looking forward to it!

[Chook2]

What a game - following south’s getting done the boys were great in attack and defence
everyone played well
3. teddy - back to his best again and not trying to overplay his hand
2. Manu - let’s do whatever we can to re sign this guy, surly with jwh, Suaali, critchon and maybe toops gone we will have an extra $200k or so
1. radley - best game I have seen him play since 2020 before his acl
The halves were good and the cheese was hard to handle
the backs went well even suaali at centre (and we have young and smith to come back!
Collins was strong and Terrell may a good 160mtr off the bench

the boys know now they can match and beat the good teams again

Look, ism is a kook, but he’s our kook.

And quasi-Italians love salami. Especially Jismismism

[rented tracksuit]

Most on here would love the racism from Spencer especially the mods

Oh… this is interesting!

[rented tracksuit]

Bring it to San Francisco in 2025. Locals be lovin' seeing boys like Manu and Sua'ali'i (who ain't going to Yawnion) throbbing off Walsh and Cherry-Evans.

You certainly do know the locations and terminologies. Impressive!

[Rocky Rhodes]

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.............NOT
We got the 2 points, bagged it....and it ain't staying in that desert shite hole...it's coming back to Sydney.

As far as that racist claim, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...

What was even weirder was that Collins ran over and bumped the other guy (Rads?) outta the way to try and make sure it wasn't a penalty.

Result? Nothing. Farking weird as it was a drop-goal, there were NO chasers/valid charge-down possibilities from the Drongos and it was purely a technical penalty on a play that in no way benefited from Collins' presence. WHY DID WE NEED THIS?!?!?

[ism22]

Without Mitchell, Souths probably win. But thankfully they're stuck with him.

Phone Chucker must be cheering that of his premiership winning halves, one's joined the Roosters because he drunkenly drove a golf buggy into his physio tent and the other's in Brissy because Trell Mitt took up all the salary cap space (which they saved by 'medically retiring' Burgess and Gringlis).

Now they've got a Trinity boy from Yawnion, known as the Anaconda to the insiders.

Lenui was enormous today and will only get better for the run . JWH will take him under his wing and mentor him to be a leader in our pack . I mean this is in a positive way ! Lenui showed he is a proud rooster already and it is only game 1 . Not sure what went on with Mann , but if true it is not on !! He will learn and only get better .
