Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sea Eagles

[fletch]

The Storm are going to run traffic at Sandon Smith time after time next week.

[HunchoRooster]

Burbo has the athleticism of a chartered accountant and he's gone over untouched. We cannot allow that sh-t against Melb with Katoa and co.

[Chook2]

DCE will need to check his undies there

[Teddy]

Oh boy messy finish.

[ARD]

I like Sandon and think he’s had some good moments, and maybe even playing injured, but that effort for the 3rd Manly try was unacceptable

[Chook2]

Manu is on tonight
we don’t have walker but the other superstars stand up
1st question to robbo and teddy all week will be our record with storm and riff and how can we beat them

[HunchoRooster]

What a performance. Brilliant game from us. Only a few lapses here and there that we can't afford to do next week.

[Teddy]

Well done boys, good victory solid for most parts of game we move on to the title favourites next week will take a massive effort and some luck also.

[Lydon]

On to next week!

[BraveTheWorld]

Comprehensive and comfortable. In a totally other league to Manly tonight, and a few of the big guns really stood up. Teddy was magnificent, as he has been all season. Suaalii and Manu were also great. Not sure how Watson stays so electric for the entire game.

Two really unacceptable errors from Tupouniua, but other than that, not much to say. Comfortably dispatched of Manly, probably got slight rub of the green which I think was earned. Manly were extremely physical in that first 20, and I think the early HIA's actually lifted their insensity somewhat. After that was weathered,we were far too good.

No one will mention how Tedesco has almost certainly been the best fullback in the comp this year.

Tiny little note, but I've noticed that with how hard itis to tackle/put genuine pressure on kickers now, some of them are using it to pinch significant extra metres. DCE did once tonight, and Cleary a few times last week. It's because they know that the person coming at them has no real intent to tackle them.

Onto next week.

The Storm are going to run traffic at Sandon Smith time after time next week.

Probably.
But we beat Manly today!
Woo hoo!

[bondi.boy]

Well done boys, good victory solid for most parts of game we move on to the title favourites next week will take a massive effort and some luck also.

Indeed.

[roosterchook]

2 tries were from errors Young and Sitili and DCE freak magic. The other was just tiredness. Our defense was excellent all night. Best players were Teddy, Manu, Keary, Suuali, Crichton, Leniu, JWH, Sandon just about all the boys. It was a team effort. Even without B Smith and Walker we looked great. The rooster team that played today was a completely different team. We have a chance if we play like this again.

[Bates]

Well done boys.

I'm so so proud!

3. Teddy
2. Watson
1. Vic and Jo Jo. Potentially most of the team

[Bates]

That game and when compared to our clash against the Panthers really highlights the importance of your pack dominating the ruck. Same will apply in next weeks game against The Storm.

Our forwards will need to be immense!
