Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Eels

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Congrats to the boys, a great win and an important one.

Love how our attack is starting to hum like we would expect. Outstanding performances from Lindsay and Gus...wow. Special mentions to Toups, Kez, Whyte, Spence and Connor.

Sandon didn't get a run?

We are hitting a nice groove, great to have a better run with injuries.

Why no ball to Manu?!? We have a Ferrari in the driveway and don’t even use it FFS!

Did you watch the last game? Mighta overplayed his hand

[BTRD]

Always good to see the ROOSTERS win.

No chance against the Dogs next week - all over the shop this team.

The Eels are third last for gods sake.

We are supposed to be heading to the top this year.

One thing was clear tonight. No cheese = no worries.

I still think that we look better with The Cheese @ 9, Watson @ 14, Spencer off the bench playing more minutes.

Glad to get the win but we need to work on our errors and fix our poor starts in the 2nd half.

Why do we only ever seem to play well when we are down on the scoreboard and it’s the last 5-10 minutes.

We should have put the Eels away tonight when we were 16-0 up

[roosterchook]

What’s with all the no look blind passes. A lot tonight giving away heaps of possession.

Are you serious?

Agree, very frustrating

Manu was pretty ordinary in the first 20 minutes. He seemed to think the defence would just part and let him stroll in to score tries.

Hey guys I only saw the last 30mins tonight - I didn't notice in that time Sandon Smith get a run - did he get injured or not get used?

[Seventy Five]

How good is Collins?

[Bansai Pipeline]

We were lucky to get that result, let’s be honest.

We’re not contenders this year

Please. Dogs will be without Burton and Critta. We are kidding if we can’t beat them at home

Out of spite due to the officialdom, media and nrl I decided not to watch the game but analyse the NRL portal of the play by play reporting. The 1st half reporting showed our errors were closely followed by penalties, 6 agains and the sin bins for only 30minutes - then the Parra try.
No play by play stats for the second half as Parra got back into the game. Soon after Parra got back into the game the 1st half play by play reporting was deleted.
I suspect the 2nd half was like the 1st half 6 six agains and penalties followed up after a Roosters error like this and past seasons games.
I see many have shown their frustration about the ref and bunker. It’s so obvious the bias, and likely why the NRL play by play stats were deleted before half time and no play by play stats reported in the second half.
The game stinks of engineered results of an each way bet for a team and betting margins.
JWH copped a fine last game but they made sure he was binned this week. There is a distinct pattern without doubt.

I think you're missing him.

Well what can I say. The secret’s out!
