Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Titans

[King Salvo]

we're looking good. we let in a couple of soft tries which is disappointing but overall our d isn't too bad and our attack is humming. obviously it would be better if we can cut out those soft tries but if we continue to score more than we let in we'll win the comp

A tough one as the better defensive teams limit both the Roosters NRL and NRLW teams point scoring opportunities and often frustrate them into errors and ill discipline. Can both teams have the patience and discipline to go the distance in games against the better opposition in D whether either 70 minutes (NRLW) or 80 minutes ( NRL).

We control our own destiny, all we need now is to avoid injuries and suspensions , sharks to keep winning and get third position and play us in first semi at Allianz.
So many rated Gus and Kez and others today but hardly a mention of Lord Teddy , I thought he was close second best on the field.

Teddy has come back as the champion he is in 2024 after struggling a bit in 2023.

still our most important player overall in my opinion.

Well we got the W and into 2nd spot on the ladder
might change the mind about resting players
right side was quite and Manu off with D however not to concerned as they just need to click at the right time
let’s hope Suaali shoulder not bad - surprised that Billy smith who hasn’t played all year got rested from nsw cup but I really wish Su would stop focusing on the physical side loosen up in attack and play like a back should
jwh will cop a week or two but we will get Watson and b smith back next week

titans got a few soft tries which was expected
we have some plenty of candidates for left centre with suaali, sitili killing it, b smith, Marky n, jenko and toia
boys hitting hard in d

3. Angus critchon - dally m backrower of the year
2. sitili - killing it at left centre atm and could be a big part to our premiership chances in multiple spots
1. Nat butch - best game this year by far
special mentions teddy and toops, along with Keary and walker

I’m not sold on sitili in the Centers, but it got me wondering if suaalii would of scored and set up the tries sitili did today.

definitely played well there today.

Nice win by the flat track bullies but at what cost...JWH probably is gone for the yr and so goes our last chance of a premiership me thinks.

Well play again to Angus...probably our best player all yr.

Butch earned his keep in todays game.

Cue Dr Google.

Beating the sides you are meant to beat does not make you flat track bullies.

This term constantly gets mis-used.

Exactly has been our problem the last couple of years and now we are doing it pretty easily.

If robbo wins the comp will you go woke ????

5 players on report must be somewhat of an NRL record.

Potentially a bad move letting Sitili move across to the Bulldogs next season. A forward that can slot into your backline and perform is priceless these days.

If being a flat tack bully means coming second and getting a home final I’ll take it every time.

Hot out there today. A couple of defensive lapse was excusable given the conditions.

I reckon he’s going to be sorely missed.

[Eggspert]

No what's been our problem is the diabolical stat against Panthers & Storm...the real conteders.

These big scores lately will mean nothing if we cant beat them both in the finals.

This is our final crack at it with this side.

Yeah nah....Smashing the weaker teams but unable to beat the best teams is text book "Flat track bullies"..It's us and u know it...
