Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Bulldogs

[roosterchook]

Our errors killed us. We’ve had years of this rubbish where professional highly paid footballers can’t kick, pass and catch without multiple errors and it’s the coach who hasn’t fixed this up for years. We have shown that with enough possession we can beat anyone. But Robbo can’t or won’t fix these errors.

[Andrew Walker]

Valiant comeback But in no way does that excuse the utter rot they served up

[The Marshall]

This fight back just shows how piss poor this loss actually is. The Bulldogs are pathetic and we were disgraceful in the first half. Dom Young is an atrocious player who lacks any fundamentals. Tupouniua has been indulged long enough. Kikau killed him.
lastly for all Collins efforts he is to easily pushed back when he runs because he has no footwork.
we are miles off the pace.

[QWERTY]

The second half showed that we can hold the ball and keep the poor discipline to a minimum…why can’t we do that consistently!!! I’ve been a Robbo defender but my god does he have to really step up, the first half was probably the worst half of footy I’ve seen the Roosters play. Please please please Robbo cut out the shite discipline!!!

Give Sitilli some reserve time and get keary to play like he did in the second half, straight and direct instead of this sideways crap he’s indulged in for some time now. These are the games we need to win, not struggle with like the last 2 years.

Arrrrgggghhhh! Beer is bitter! 2nd half rocket got them going but long injury breaks for dogs helped them more than us... only ourselves to blame, but put some pride back in the jersey in the 2nd half... ffs 13 v 11???!!!! Inconsistent reffing will never be in our favour... so I guess we have to find a way to be better! Do it all again next week!

Well, we almost pulled off the impossible. At least we gave it a shove in that second half. Those long delays and Vics sinbin killed our momentum when we were coming to get em. Still we need to address those poir defensive plays from the first half. Not good enough.

Kez was outstanding, didn't miss a beat except for one kick out in the first half. Lost his two spine players, had to skipper a 12 man team, do all the kicking and damn near led a miracle comeback.

Thoughts with Teddy especially, hope he's ok after yet another heavy concussion. Hope Sams ok too.

More work to be done Robbo.

[Andrew Walker]

Very disappointed that we got ourselves in that situation but very proud of the second half effort and comeback.

How the Fcuk can you be proud of that rubbish The first half was so bad the second half meant nothing

[Ray Stehr]

Well it's bitter sweet after that. I have to say that our players were all smiling and cracking jokes as they walked out at the start of the game, they were clearly overconfident and no where near ready for the onslaught. I blame the guru for this, not getting the players in the right frame of mind. I can't take this team seriously until they can display a Melbourne type mentality. It's rare that Bellamy doesn't have his team ready for battle. That's 3 games that we've lost that we should've won, when will the guru learn?????

[mattyh]

no bravery points from me . that first half was truly shocking , we are far more talented then them authentic 2nd half proved.

We really couldn’t get any worse than the first half. The second half showed that.

Long delays did favour the dogs as it allowed them to find some composure when totally rattled. I am surprised they didn’t bring in an airlift it took so long.
but Collins pulled an error second tackle after the restart and then they scored to kill us. Errors errors errors

[The Marshall]

Very disappointed that we got ourselves in that situation but very proud of the second half effort and comeback.

I wouldn’t be proud of that. We were total rubbish in the first half. All the second half did is show how piss weak Canterbury are. I am not proud of losing to rubbish.

[Andrew Walker]

**** me should've won that game.

if we didnt miss those two conversions wouldve drawn it.

yet again losing games we should've won. never should've been in that situation

team showed great heart that second half, but **** me this team needs to lock into gear. some of them need to be dropped

For who I’d say No Teddy no Walker No Young snd no Radley as they will suspend him just because it’s Radley They will all get a turn again

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

We play like that first half against Penrith, Brisbane or Melbourne it would be 50-0 at half time and probably 70+ at games end.
The players and coaching staff probably went into that game with the attitude we have won this by 50 before the kick off.

[mightyrooster]

A totally frustrating game. We lost it in the first half. Terrible, terrible first half. Great comeback and we may well have won if not for those very long injury stoppages, but now we will be missing at least 3 players from the backs next week. I wouldn’t be surprised if Connor Watson has a problem with his cheek bone too. Great game by Luke to bring us back into it. Oh yeah and Rads probably suspended too!
