Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sharks

[OMR]

The two try assists by our bench props are absolute classics. I’m crediting May with the assist for that last try

[RoosterFanNZ]

This is truly sammys team, lots of movement and chaos, good fun to watch

[ism22]

Haha we will take it but Terrell May was offside on that kick but who gives a shit

The Catfish have had so many gratuitous penalties that I've lost count. Not gonna give them a millimetre...

[Big Dog]

Odd half
Cronulla a few lucky tries with a few bad reads and errors from our guys
we never let it get to us though
7 tries in the half
toops with the try and try assist
pauga has come back well
walker just said we played poorly so hopefully come out strong in the second half
I can see how the chooks were waiting for Taupahu to bring that form with us but couldn’t do it

Agreed. We looked a bit clunky but our 4th try spoke truckloads.

[Steggles]

What a pass Terrell May!!! Take a bow

Channeling Andrew John’s with a pass like that.

[Juggler]

What a shot from suaali
having his best game to date
more comfortable on the right

Definitely a right side player.

[Juggler]

Is what we are seeing in attack the “Sam Walker” brand of attack?

[Sentimentinel]

Love the way toops ran straight infield off the may pass to give pauga room to finish. Best winger in the world rn.

[roosterchook]

All sharks tries from luck or poor defense by us. Our tries from pure skill. Lovely pass by May, kick to Toups by Keary, beautiful pass by Leniu, awesome flick pass by Suuali. No flukes by us but some very patchy defense and misreads by Dom and Teddy which led to tries. We are better this year but a premiership threat?

[OMR]

Loved the way Walker walked off into the tunnel with collins and JWH like two bodyguards

[fletch]

Defense has been awful today.

[Chook2]

Hell how many chances are we going to give them
sloppy again and they score

[ism22]

Looks like his fist rather than the ball is on the ground and there's no possible angle that woulda overturned a 'no try' call. Fark's sake ref...

When it looks 'too easy', it's usually because there's something wrong.

[OMR]

Really! Leniu and butcher very poor

[roosterchook]

Very soft try. Our defense is horrible. Whats the point of such a good attack we can’t defend? Honestly I can’t see us being a threat this year. Premierships are built on defense.
