Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Manly

[Andrew Walker]

Well for all their dominance it was still three tries a piece

[RoosterFanNZ]

Wong and Sitilli have such low attacking work rates.

we turn barn storming second rowers in to plodders

[mightyrooster]

Too many mistakes and penalties meaning too little possession and too much defence. A very frustrating game and loss.

[Roosters1908]

We had a shit afternoon, but with the amount of possession and field position Manly had, they should have been a lot more than seven points ahead. A very skinny silver lining, but better than none.

[Rooster_6]

A lot of poor performances today and now have to worry about a short turnaround after doing nothing but tackle for 80 minutes and potentially without Keary.

Without Keary might not be a bad thing, he’s a long way from the player he used to be and has been for some time.

Was one of our worst today.

[Chook Norris]

Drop ball, poor sliding defence, zero go forward and Keary killed us today

[Andrew Walker]

Hasn’t taken long with a few of the regular offenders already throwing their toys out of their cots

[The Lip]

Problem is we are a dumb footy team unfortunately. Every time we get any momentum we push a pass and drop the ball rather than consolidate the field position. Same old shot for the last 4 years

Luke Keary love him but looks too old - Dim Young run straight - you're big and fast.

[Qld Chook]

19 errors is absolutely pathetic.. very disappointing, got what we deserve.

[HunchoRooster]

Awful performance with all the hallmarks of last year coming out. Insipid.

[Rooster_6]

Wong and Sitilli have such low attacking work rates.

Hard to work in attack when you’re just rucking it out of your half all game.

[kakaruk]

Billy and Connor should get a run next week Wong had a average game as well we missed Spence he would have tightened things up a bit we lost this in the middle imo the errors didn’t help much lucky we didn’t get beaten by more imo

[fletch]

Without Keary might not be a bad thing, he’s a long way from the player he used to be and has been for some time.

Was one of our worst today.

Worst player on the field today but Walker/Smith is a disaster waiting to happen.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

The Brookie curse strikes again. We were beaten to the punch and too many errors yet still were somehow in the game right up until the field goal. Forwards probably outplayed which meant we couldn't dominate any territory. Sammy didnt give any attacking input must have been wounded. Hopefully Kez will be sweet. Quick turnaround and re-group. None of the Vegas teams looked slick this weekend - coincidence?

[roosterchook]

No go forward, too many errors, poor completion rate.
