Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Manly

[Andrew Walker]

Our goal line defence is second to none

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

There have been a few forward passes by Manly not picked up and finally one was

I think both teams are getting away with forward passes today, seems the refs are turning a blind eye to them.
Still confident of a big win by us, fitness will get us firing in the last 20 minutes.

[fletch]

We have been awful over the last 12-13 minutes.

[Andrew Walker]

That penalty was always going to be given against us as soon as we dropped it I called that

[ism22]

Weird penalty. Knock-on IMO...

[Andrew Walker]

We have been awful over the last 12-13 minutes.

What do you expect we are completely under the pump It’s going to take a big 2nd half effort to win this

[Bondi Spy]

We are lucky we aren’t down by more….they seem hungrier atm…our last tackle kicks are just so average

[Qld Chook]

Jeez we are lucky Brooks didn't score in the corner. Another unforced error to gift them a try. We really it to sort it.

[Roosterfarian]

Once again our halves not controlling the game and playing for moments. Especially Keary who clearly has seen better days.

[horrie hastings]

Manly dominated the last 15-20 mins with all the ball but could only come up with a penalty goal on the siren. Hopefully the Roosters will see a bit more of the ball inthe second half.

[RoosterFanNZ]

would be nice if we showed some composure and stopped treating it like touch footy just chucking it round like it doesnt matter.

any time we in their end we nearly score, but halves are yet to get us down there

[<ME>]

Worst refereeing and bunker I’ve seen.

Turbo offside on kick for first try and took Teddy out.
Brandon Smith head slammed and then penalised after Aloiai slapped him in head.
Tedesco taken off the ball.
Keary taken out on chase.

tries came from a should be penalty and keary knocking it on needlessly.

we are our own worse enemy but our defence is good. like we say every game if we just respect the ball we should be able to win this

Under the pump from our own errors that shift from the scrum to Young was completely dumb and self inflicted error.

[roosterchook]

Ref is big time biased. Our players hit in head, taken out after kicking and losing all 50/50 calls. Our right side defense very poor. Why are we trying flashy footy from our own line resulting in handover of possession? Brooks is running rings around us. We are starved of possession down their end but giving it up cheaply in our own half. Why is Young running across field?
