Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sea Eagles

[Chook2]

Well done we didn’t fall away and looked better in defence - a couple of their tries off our errors
Teddy is electric and will go close to dally m - will easily get fullback of the year anyway
Manu had a better game getting involved and some magic while suaali had his best game at centre! Sandon will get confidence from that
Terrell was great off the bench as was Leniu - Leniu is certainly a bench prop - he is so good off the bench with tired forward
You could tell all the guys leaving didn’t want to finish tonight
3. teddy - again 230mtr, 2 tries and 2 try assists he is at his best
2. Watson - great attack and d again
1. Shared between May and Leniu off the bench, centre Manu and suaali and also sandon
let’s hope that gives us some confidence for next week - no injuries or suspensions and we looked fresh after
We were close to perfect bar a few errors tonight, we will need to be all but perfect next week to stand a chance

Really impressed with Watson. Tremendous game tonight

[The Marshall]

Great win, full credit for bouncing back. Rewarded with a 6 day prep to travel interstate while 4th placed sharks get 8 days and no travel.

[Big Dog]

Garrick is having a nightmare

Carrying an injury? He was a liability for them tonight.

IMO that was the most dominant finals game we've played since the2018 GF.

[Waylander]

Fantastic win. I was so bloody nervous coming into this game and by halftime I was buzzing. We will need to up a notch again next week, but with the belief that this will instill, we should be in it up to our eyeballs.

[BTRD]

Congratulations team and to my mate (ha ha) Robbo. A great great win.

My only fault is, if you drop the ball, you just defend. The great P Sterling would always say in commentary: " the good teams defend their mistakes "

Now let's pay back Melbourne for knocking us out last year on the bell.

GO ROOSTERS.

The coach played this game right. He made sure we had a strong go forward while their forwards were fresh. Not many errors either. As for the Storm next week. Not expecting anything. Just proud we came back from last week.

[QWERTY]

Kudos to Robbo, we did a 180 from last week and were physical the whole match. Discipline was superb, attack was outstanding and our offloading stuck, and our defence overall was great, which is a great sign going into the STORM GAME. Teddy was outstanding. A bit worried about Don Young, i expect him to be targeted next week.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Congrats to the boys on making the final.four and my favourite game of the year. We got the balance right with setting the platform physically and playing early percentages. Then opened the shoulders more when we seen the opportunities presenting..Yes it was a class drop for us but you still gotta do it.

Ted, Kez, Connor, both Joeys and big Lindsay were amongst my best.

Great atmosphere and boy did those Manly fans turn up. Highlights at the end were Nick coming over to personally thank the fans, then Jared.

$15 looking a little better now? I think we might surprise and rattle Melbourne's cage next week. We are due and ready to make a statement.

Woohoo. I was checking for score updates while out on tour and lost internet reception for the second half. I was so glad to see the full time score when the connection came back.

[Mickie Lane]

What a difference JWH makes.

[Johnny73]

Just to let everyone know that I didn't watch tonight and the Roosters won. I make the commitment I won't watch next weeks game either.
