Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[Johnny73]

Whenever the Roosters play Canberra I remember Ricky Stuart's immortal lines to Dr George when he was our coach in 2003.

"I coached that Jonathan Thurston in second grade. He's too small, he'll never make it in first grade."

If that wasn't bad enough, our replacement halfback was Brett Finch.

Roosters, kill the Raiders.

just fyi Cup just kicked off... Billy Smith has had a cracking start... especially defensively! Been very keen for the contest... unfortunately, repeat bad calls have given raiders all the possession & now they score after some stout chooks defence... still early days & plenty of class on the field especially the chooks backline!

Looks like Zach docker clay in front of Sandon now? Or they want sandon to get an 80 min performance this week as it’s the last nsw cup game
wish this side made finals
that backline would test most nrl sides
