Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Titans

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Empty feeling knowing that this is probably the last game for JWH. He won't get a home ground farewell next week which is really disappointing.

[QWERTY]

Hopefully JWH and Suaalii aren’t out for long, but I fear that maybe wishful thinking

[mightyrooster]

Nice to be in front, but a real downer with Jared and Su.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

We were always going to score plenty of points today. Our leaky right side living up to its name a bit. Dom's got to make it personal on Khan-Pereira and ground him every time he gets a touch.

ZDC doing a neat job at hooker, better than I expected. Walker got out of gaol with missing Manu and a bit kick happy. Todays a day to use the hands when you can.

Let's bring this one home strong. Sandon could cause some problems later in the game through the ruck.

Dom is carrying an injury. He isn't moving at top speed.

With JWH let’s hope if he has a chance of playing in the GF upon return they don’t decide to challenge so he leaves with a clean slate.

I fear you are right. Cannot see how that’s not at least 5 weeks. Which would mean only a GF if we lose the first final

Me too, though IMO it was a soft call to sin-bin him. It's like he gets his 'history' based on 'reputation' and then it all gets compounded by 'borderline high... but he has a reputation... and history'.

I've seen free kicks and no more given for such contact. Hoping the match review committee grow a spine and decide that a sin-bin was overkill.

IMO the problem is that when things get reviewed you're talking about 'grading' rather than whether or not it's a free kick. Grade 1 + priors is grade 2 when it's being reviewed. However in real time it's not a sin-bin, it's a free kick. IMO the two should cancel each other out... if you binned a guy for a grade 1 then it's not reviewable. Just my opinion as I think that the binning is the punishment, so no fine (let alone a suspension) is necessary.

Great comeback Roosters.

Just play sensibly and it will be a big win.

Absolutely. Play smart and the points will come. Let them struggle in the searing heat.

Is he always injured?

[King Salvo]

JWH will most likely be charged with a grade 2 careless high tackle as similar to Crichton's one - charged previously with a grade 2 careless high tackle 3rd offence - 4 weeks or 3 weeks with the early plea - challenged the grading and lost so he was given 4 weeks.

So what in terms of weeks is he facing - there is nothing listed for the number of weeks players will miss past 3rd offences if they either challenge the charge and are unsuccessful or take the early plea.

Yeah who was that supposed speed demon who scored?

IMO it wasn't a second gear... Young simply opted not to chase him down over 20m after he was through. To me that suggests he was preserving his leg and backing us to come good.

[Bates]

Currently $4 in the 'Teddy you hog' jar.

$1 for every time someone say's 'Teddy you hog" in my household.

[bondi.boy]

I think he'll play a final or two......Sammy V not even requiring a test and Jared getting 10 in the bin should cap the charge at grade 2 careless.....2-3 weeks with his priors!?

Hopefully...if they don't want the trophy going south.

suaalii apperently a bad stinger and could be back second half

His service out of dummy half is a clinical as Cameron Smith's. Very impressive!

[Team Evil]

Loving the crisp passing from Clay at dummy half.
