Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[RoosterFanNZ]

the defence at the end there was a bit worrying. conceding 28 to souths....

[ism22]

Pretty poor that we're finishing like this but at the same time I'm glad we're gonna take the 2 without having to fight during the last 20.

Job done. Souffs can go enjoy their mad Monday now, having lost to our NSW Cup team...

[The Shoe]

Geez these commentators love souffs

[QWERTY]

2 soft tries, terrible. We were doing so well in that 2nd half too

[Crab]

We've got points in us but my reference to '75 we had much better defence. Go Roosters

[ism22]

Shoulder charge to the head from Tommie B. Sin-bin and let us finish the ball with 6 from 20 out thanks ref.

Nup. HIA... take away our player... no punishment for the shoulder charge... siiiiiiiiiigh...

Sums up our friend the ref tonight. Having a shocker mate!!! Give yourself an uppercut.

[Teddy]

Putrid seriously absolutely dog shit 28 points to Souffs and their not done yet they will go in again

[Nigel Gaffey]

Penrith laughing all the way to another prelim we have no chance next week dear oh dear.

Absolutely. We have no chance of winning next week if we play like we did tonight

[King Salvo]

Penrith laughing all the way to another prelim we have no chance next week dear oh dear.

They clocked off though but still t's been a poor end to the game conceding 18 points

[nayfo]

Well that ending was embarrassing

[Chook2]

Gees about 25 min of good footy to start the 2nd half
rest was very average
concerned for next week if we are anything like the last 2 weeks it won’t be pretty
well don’t for Marky N who will give robbo thought and depth into the finals along with Vaa who has a massive future
few guys back next week! Let’s see how we go

[HunchoRooster]

Apart from not picking up injuries, couldn't be much worse. Was shocking and low tempo. Hoping it was more to avoid injuries and because they dragged us down to their level.

If we toss that up against Riff next week we lose by 30.

Sandon looked good when given the keys to run the ball in their half.

[HunchoRooster]

How bout the Soufs crowd booing a premiership winner in Keary. No class

I know. If it wasn't for him they'd still be harping on about 1971. Ungrateful fkers.

[Bruce Pickett]

Great game Teddy. I was critical last week, but he played well today.

[Bruce Pickett]

Not very confident against Penrith though.
