Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[HunchoRooster]

JWH is a champion and the embodiment of a Rooster. Poetic that this game embodies the difference between Eastern Suburbs RLFC and Souffs as clubs.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

What a night! So proud to be an Easts supporter. The boys honoured JWH with a legendary display. And even better that it was against Souths. Great to see the networks esp Channel 9 really giving him the platform he derseves.

3 pts Teddy....phenomenal
2 pts Vic
1 pt Sammy.

Enjoy the night and weekend Chookpenners....not much else to say after that.

I know this is a special night for JWH and he deserves every accolade but Teddy is just unbelievable for this team and is the most impressive rooster we’ve had in decades. He is just everywhere in attack and defence

[Inflictor]

Good to see Wighton went to Souffs to win a comp. Haven't seen their FDC trolls on here for a while. Gutless filth.

Super win but was always going to be the case. They are a bottom 4 team so we did what we were meant to do. Great to see Watto back and he looked good. Big game next week without Sammy. I hope Kezza is back.

It doesn't get better than this! Watching the MIGHTY EASTS put this scum to the sword on a Friday night at the SFS!!!!

Then to top it off watching JWH getting presented the match ball for his 300th. What a legend!!!! God bless him and his family.

Nights like this is why our club is the best club in the world!

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Oh, special mention to Dom Young too...goes alright the kid.

[Chook2]

Massive for jwh and exactly what he deserves in his 300th
still 2 more milestones to go this year being 6 games off 300 for the chooks and 12 off roosters all time record
Gus back for his 100th roosters game and looked solid while Watson back for his first nrl game since 2022
and we just ended south season
3 points teddy again - so called done haha
2 points to radley - back to his best, made 180mtr
1 point to young and Manu who dominated the right side, young’s pace is awesome! Also Brandon smith and walker and sandon smith were exceptional
looks like walker out next week but Keary back! Collins may be a couple of weeks with the hammy which is a shame next week for the riff! Gus and Nat may share the 4th prop spot with Wong or Egan butcher filling the bench spot

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

The more I see young Sandon the more I like the kid

[King Salvo]

Match stats where much better this week

53% possession
84% set completions
7 line breaks

Still need to work on reducing errors and discipline

Errors - 9
Missed tackles - 32
Penalties - 5
Set Restarts Conceded - 5

How's everyone feeling ? I'im buzzing ! So proud ****ing of this club. Jared's 300 with a big big win over the old enemy . It's as good as it gets

[Steggles]

Our best game in years. Not a bad player on the field for us. So bloody happy.

The highlight for me was how Sandon Smith played, particularly when he stood up and called the shots when Walker went off. Big future for us.

[King Salvo]

I notice Dom and Alex Young's parents are in the dressing room - Club flew them out from the UK I assume

[GOATHOOVES]

How bloody good was that. Sure Rabbits were really bad but most of their bad play was down to our forward pressure. Completely dominated the middle. Dom Young is such a great buy, what a winger he is. Oh and Teddy was amazing once again, think he is on for a dally m run this year

[FREEMAN89]

Connor Watson anyone???

looked electric considering limited game time in 18months and more importantly.. the passion the bloke has for the team.

even Angus looked ready to tear in and played the same.

awesome night for the whole club.

We’re spoilt for choice this season.

under rated player of the night Naufahu Whyte!
