Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Bulldogs

[B2B]

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

Sort of agree . But the game is over two halves. I am not proud but rather deflated knowing they are so much better than the crap they dished up in the first half . These games are so important when it comes to finals

[Eggspert]

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?????

Robbo can't get this team up against a Cameron Ciraldo coached team.

Guru my bum.

Radley has been an absolute beast this year, I’m so pissed off that some soft c**t sitting in a bunker somewhere had the incompetence to send him to the bin for an imaginary hip drop. Ruining the game.

[Eggspert]

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.

Agree.

That 2nd half just wall papered over some major cracks in this team.

[bondi paul]

That’s 3 games which the opposition has had us on the back foot in the 1st 20 minutes. The never say die is admirable but I can’t help but think the coach hasn’t got us primed to counter it.

Nice.

Keary was rightfully filthy with the players attitude to start that game during the post match presser said the players need to sort it out amongst themselves.

[King Salvo]

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!

Already running short on players - if Watson out as well that will be 9 unavailable from the 26 player squad - Tedesco , Walker , Sandon Smith , Toia , Billy Smith , Leniu , Young , Radley and possibly Watson

If Watson out along with the known 8 that will be unavailable the following is a possible 22 - not sure who else there is

1. Manu
2. Toops
3. Suaalii
4. Jennings
5. Pauga
6. Keary
7. Savala
8. JWH
9. Brandon Smith
10. Collins
11. Sitili
12. Crichton
13. N Butcher
14. Dockar-Clay
15. E Butcher
16. May
17. Whyte
18. Wong
19. Napa
20. Moriarty
21. Murphy
22. Ioelu

Can we leave Dom in Newcastle next week. Drops the ball on the first tackle, makes a ridiculous attempt to ‘tackle’ Kikau and then gets sent off.

If Radley stayed on then I'm almost certain we win.

Joke of a call.

You won’t be seeing Savala next week.

Bulldogs vs Roosters Jersey Flegg game has been postponed and I say the NSW Cup Match maybe as well . - Both games were scheduled for Belmore Oval

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I know we are better on a dry track, but that surface was surprisingly ok considering the belting its copped. Compare it to Newcastle where the surface water and mud in parts is terrible.

Why are there only 26 players in our squad? Madness when you consider our luck with injuries over the last 4 seasons.

His run down the touch line and deciding to take them on the outside when he clearly wasn’t going to beat them is the sign of a selfish big head . It was zero tackle and he went the hero play at a time when we needed to grind back into the game . He’s a rubbish signing .
