Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Broncos

[roosterchook]

Angus turning it on when his contract is up is sure as the sun rising in the east.

sign him up Nick (for 12 months)!

He did that before and we signed him up, then he went back into his shell with one good game in ten. Clearly he’s playing for a contract and then there’s origin but he’s not been consistent over the years.

The refs don't even try and hide their bias against the Roosters anymore it's a joke

[Jacks Fur Coat]

The most pleasing half of footy we've put on all year. Esp considering 3 big outs. It's our opponents forced into frantic footy while we are staying in shape yet still chancing our arm.

Top shelf defence. Connor and Nat Butch tackling their hearts out. Whyte has answered the call bigtime. Wow. Angus has also been terrific. Aussie Joe the only mucker, but somewhat clawed it back with a great moneyball for our third try. Ted very good at the back too.

Lovin the style tonight.

No word on Brandon Smith ??

[Easts75]

Smarty thinking Pauga,well done son!

Not the biggest fella but carries it with 100% commitment off our line also

[Easts75]

Awesome support by Gus.


PS: Has anyone ever seen Suaalii run at full tilt ?

He is.....he is just slow as **** !!!!!

[BraveTheWorld]

God I hope my luck is turning around and I actually see us win a game in person.

Haven’t read anything in the thread, but I imagine Suaalii is catching some flack. To be fair to him, no one runs harder, so I’ll forgive a lot of the mistakes. Effort never a question.

Enjoy the game, fellas.
Go the Chooks

That scum Klein will do everything he can to give the Broncos a leg up in this second half.

[Bates]

We are playing against 13 men and 2 Farking clowns.

[King Salvo]

Long way to go - Roosters need to continue on from the first half - a few less errors would be good - Can't let Brisbane back into the game

Expecting a big period of possession for the broncos gifted by Klein.

but looking good, everyone’s mostly playing well.

[RoosterFanNZ]

[RoosterFanNZ]
