Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[Bates]

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

Pearce is now a part of the coaching staff and working with our halves.

[Chook2]

Our test will come next week v the sharks
a team up the top of the ladder performing well and just beating the storm
i believe in our attack and defence but will need to be more patient in attack and win the key areas of field posession, territory, and limit errors and mistakes penalaties
hopefully a few easier games the boys will be fit and firing
seems Brendon smith will be back, sandon didn’t get long but will be good for sandon to get a few full games in nsw cup
hope Whyte is back on the bench too but looked like he was warming up with the chooks so not sure if he was injured or moved aside for Egan
would prefer Whyte over Egan especially with the sharks bench which is massive

I love this, never felt right to me when Pearce left.

[Horry]

I saw Danny Weidler in the stands with his family. Kids all decked out in rooster and his partner too

[Rooster_6]

I was really impressed with Spencer’s defence today, I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise given he’s coming out of a strong Penrith system but his scramble and effort was top notch.

Yes. Started working with the boys after Anzac Day.

[Hawkeye]

can't listen to that and not think of Drew Carey

[Big Dog]

Well done Badger…another outstanding cluster****….still what can you do , we can bitch all we want and their gonna keep her contract valid

Just wait until she duds the dolphins. Bennett may have something to say.

[Hawkeye]

Jesus Kasey what you uptohahah

7 pens to nil in second half

think she was channeling her husband !

[Big Dog]

I don’t believe referees are corrupt but I absolutely believe they even games up. Blow outs are bad for business.

Badger's second half effort was the exact definition of 'evening games up'.

These are the sort of games where I get confidence and believe in the fact Robbo is fine tuning the season and timing our best footy.

We played amazing for probably 20% of the game and had the game in the bag early on. Then we were dreadful with the ball and went completely off the boil for a period. Luckily for us, the Warriors were even worse and under strength.

If we can slowly turn those flashes of quality to continuous consistency, we will go close with this side.

Still a lot of improvement but so much to look forward to.

Love this why?

Don't understand the love for him.

Was a premiership winner with us but was an average half back at the most of times.

Loved when he left & a proper professional in Cronk arrived.

238 first grade games for the club, always put in 100% when he was on the field. Was a shinning light through some pretty dark years before Robbo got here but was always loyal to the club.

Along with Aubo, Friend & Cordner who came into first grade around the same time as Pearce they played a big role in helping build the side into what it was and it’s good to see Robbo understands their value.

Although if you don’t get it you probably never will, different values.

I haven’t caught up with the thread after being at the game yesterday and busy last night, how good was it that we didn’t miss a beat with Watson playing dummy half, he is now genuinely an all round utility player, forwards, half, and hooker. Good on him for working his way back to a top line player after the injuries.
