Officiall Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Gotta do this the hard way now. 6 agains and offloads killing us. And the big try came off the call to allow Coates to restart with a tap. 9/10 that's called play on from the catch.

Has to start with our defence and getting some control back, then working our possession. Lindsay a big loss so early.

[roosterchook]

WTF has happened to our attack????

We fans overhype this very ordinary team that can only score against the worst teams but can’t hold their own against the top teams. We made the top 4 because of a super easy draw. That is being exposed now. Where’s our fight gone? Just defending mistakes all the time.

[Chook2]

Well end of an era

[The Bondi spy]

I phucking hate the riff

They don’t cheat

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

TBH until we can match the intensity, line speed and defense of both the riff and drizzle we will only be the 3rd best team in the comp. Something else to work on in the off season

[DP1990]

Keary and Angus are being targeted.

Massive defensive liabilities.

[King Salvo]

Still 40 to go and one never knows. Too may negative nellies on here.

[Seventy Five]

Keary has been great for the Roosters but he is just a defensive liability these days. Deer in the headlights stuff, very sad.

A good start to the second half and we can still win this. Gotta want it though.

[Judge Smails]

Keary is huge target. It’s easy pickings for a half decent team.

[rented tracksuit]

How was the storms second try not called back for a forward pass?

if it was us it would have.

[bondi.boy]

Keary is shitting himself in defence when it comes to papi

Luke has served us well, a big part on our lethal left side that won us two premierships.

Teams are bigger, stronger and faster today.
We need to get Sandon on the 'bulk up' plan for the future.
We need a bigger, stronger, faster team.

[BTRD]

A disappointing first half. Dig deep Roosters.

[weplayforprems]

Watch us get a string of 6 agains and penalties early this half to “game manage” a contest

No we are the 3-4th best team in the comp. As seen when we blew Manly away last week.

Just that there’s a big gap between the top 2 and 3-4th as we saw in Week 1 of the finals.

It’s one of the easier form lines to track in NRL history.

I really hope JWH doesn't do something stupid when he comes back on for his final stint in the NRL.
