Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[player 1]

By your definition. And with all respect, yours is not the most balanced view around.

With even greater respect, your view is a lot more boring than you think it is. Will Ferrell is way funnier than you.

I did see our former halfback in Mitchell Pearce at the game. I wonder what he made of Walker's cross field kick.

Sure. On the subject of boring, let me know when you post something that isn’t about the game of rugby league being one giant conspiracy against the roosters. Won't hold my breath though.

I don't get why some don't want Nat in the team. He saved 2 or 3 tries in the first half one on one last line of defence. He's our beast in defence.

Dom had his best game. No other real stand outs for me. Everyone did their job. Pity their completions dropped off midway through the first half. The score could have been anything.

Concerns for a couple with the MRC. Did any news come out about Manu and an HIA after full time?

3-2-1 hard this week. Could go many ways.
Dom - 3
Nat - 2
Manu - 1

[Andrew Walker]

Happy with the win and the vital two points

Kasey Badger did her very best to even the game up in the second half

Nat wouldn't be out of place in SOO as a player who regularly plays 80 minutes.

[Carlos Parra]

Great win today. Lots of awesome performances across the park, probably the most pleasing for me was Luke Keary. Keary seems to have turned back the clock over the last couple of weeks (since Walker returned), playing more direct and selective, no miracle balls and he’s been good in defence. It might be that keeping Radley away from 1st receiver has made all the difference? I hope he can make me eat my words every week for the rest of the year.

And best of all, Tupou bettered the club try scoring record.

[Carlos Parra]

Running Metres

1. Dom Young - 253
2. Daniel Tupou - 143
3. James Tedesco - 139

He surely ran further than that? He was up to 100m within the first 20 minutes.

A lot to like about how we played on JWH achievement day.
As it also being Mothers Day, ref Kasey Badgers mum likely highly embarrassed knowing her daughter is officially been made a NRL puppet.

[zac]

a lot to like. okay we weren't ruthless after the opening onslaught and could have done better in defending their tries, particularly the first and last one, but good to win a few on the trot

People bag Nat for the same reason they used to bag Jake Friend. Because they’re only paying attention to who does the flashy stuff in attack and don’t notice who does the dirty work.

Mate it's alright - not everybody can be interesting. I'm sure your mum is proud of you.

3 in a row to the good guys, plenty of points flowing.

Set up the win in the first half, then clocked off a little. Could have easily got 50 with a bit of luck/polish.

Thought Kez was terrific. Ran a lot of dee at him and he held up in the battle. Must be fit as. Definitely the general out there for us, watching live. Fk we gonna miss him.

Connor was a machine in the middle, and Gus just keeps on going in great form and fitness. Teddy very good, and the Dominator had some great moments. Some scything low hits from Nat Butch was pretty to watch too.

Thought Jareds day maybe deserved more than 16,000 fans.

On to magic round..

Keary was great defensively today. I have been very critical of his defense but today he was really throwing himself at the Warriors with purpose. Keary of old.

[nayfo]

I prefer to see none of our players in SOO but a bolter for the team is Connor Watson. He would make the best 14 for origin. His form this year has been sublime. I think he is ready made for that arena.

[Bates]

Dom Young is a freaking strike weapon.
