Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Tigers

[ism22]

discipline & leadership at tigers poor... esp against a clinical chooks team... tigers getting pumped now applying ufc tactics? Uppa RWB

Yeah how do I say it? We haven't been perfect but every time we screw up, they seem to screw up worse.

We're looking VERY sloppy and would be 60 - 0 if we just held onto the bloody ball.

Being without Manu is gonna hurt!!!

I will say it… that’s a fvkked way to finish the game but glad to get the win. Should have been to zero.

Sloppy end. Disappointing not to hold them to nil.

Ugly arse last 10mins.

Dominant win by the lads. Almost a clean sheet the most pleasing factor.

Can only beat whats in front of you and we are seemingly getting better each week. Love how our attack is humming off an in form spine. Genuine contenders for the title.

Yeah I was p!ssed seeing that consolation try but can't be too sad. Nice win!

Didn't sound good on the telecast. I'm sure I heard the crack.

Same.

Fark moi…get that up ya Benji

Well tough final 10 min but very good game over all! Was a danger game but again happy we have shown a lot in defence and not trying to score off every play
attack and defence was very good especially in wet conditions
3. teddy - despite a drop or two made 300mtr and 11 tackle breaks in his milestone game
2. Watson - plays everywhere and covered right centre well again 200mtr was outstanding
1. our wings toops and Manu both with doubles and made neally 200mtr each
was a game we could have put on 50 in dry conditions

congrats for teddy, jwh and robbo on their milestones and jwh to have another next week for game 307 for the chooks

let’s hope for next week we get a dry deck finally
also issues in centre with manu now out but I think sitili will cover left again, and we have either Watson again with sandon smith at 14 or Jenko / king and Wong as options
my thoughts maybe bring Sitili on right to cover Suli. And put Watson left with sandon 14 or Jenko / king on left

You would take 40-6 as the Tigers looked very good vs Canberra for a large part of that match the week before - Canberra pushed the Storm all the way down in Melbourne - losing 16-6.

The Manu injury is a worry as anything from 3 to 8 weeks has been mentioned and outside back depth is being well and truly tested - scans will show the extent of the injury and time out of the game.

[PLV012]

i wonder if it's time to give king a run, been waiting in the wings a while, better to throw him now imo to get a good look, than into the fire of the finals because you are forced to?

Couldn't ask for any better edges out there to help him out?

Happy with our handling in the wet weather. We began losing interest when we reached 30-0 and started making mistakes but it didn’t matter by then.

[King Salvo]

3 2 and 1's

A hard choice

3. Tedesco
2. Radley
1. Watson

Shout outs to Young , May , Brandon Smith , Toops and Sitili

[Bates]

Clinical for 70 odd minutes.
Toops is a star. I don't think I've seen him smile like that before. 1 more season please.
Kez looks fresh and appears to be enjoying his footy.
SOS Marky Mark
The Cheese ripped in.
Radley continues to be top shelf. Future captain imo.
Collins had a rough night. Bateman is a farking grub.
The ref topped elocution school.
Still think Watson should come off the bench.
Whyte needs more minutes.
May is a freak!!! He never looks buggered.
Teddy the little hoglet had a great game.
Centre wing combos are a thing of the past.
Paging Les. I hope you haven't dated your next post.
We'll miss Manu big time.

[Chook2]

Credit to sitili he filled in well on the left edge
will get harder next week but did his job
