Officiall Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[Steggles]

I’d like to see more play go through Sandon this second half, Keary isn’t creating anything and the team don’t seem to know how to play off Watson (Which is fair given he’s only been playing dummy half full time for a few weeks). Think Sandon provides the most structure but we just didn’t play right at all in good ball sets.

I think you’re right on the money here. Keary hogs the calls, hasn’t been creative for years and can’t tackle for shit. He’s so far off the pace it’s not funny.

[Bates]

They're bloody good.

We need to vary our attack. They're all over us. Need more width in our shape when we shift and turn the ball back inside. Manu needs to get into the game. Kicking early should be prohibited.

[Steggles]

At least Keary won us comps. Send Dom back to Roosters B in Newcastle

We’re talking about now mate, not 5 or 6 years ago.

[Big Dog]

Bellyache and Ivan absolutely own him.

[Danish]

Crichton playing like he’s back in ****ing Amsterdam. What a complete ****wit

[Eggspert]

Sometimes you just have to accept that our players aren’t as good as we think they are…

Really?

Current & former Origin players & International test players throughout the team.

Pretty sure our coach isn't as good anymore as many think so.

[Arties Pie]

Not saying they are bad players but let’s be honest with ourselves here we the team tonight has its deficiencies.

[Bruce 38-0]

How do we get that line speed the Melby and the Riff have?

[HDTONE]

Yep Manu needs to get his head out of Ra Ra and have a crack FFS supposed to be one of our strike players.

[roosterchook]

This game has all the signs of a blowout. They might just defend their lead to save energy for next week. But with us it’s just the same as expected a no contest.

[HunchoRooster]

I phucking hate the riff

Yeah agreed mate I'll be a Storm sympathizer next week for sure. Farrk those priks. 4 in a row would be vile.

[King Salvo]

They have picked apart the gap between Keary and Crichton very well tonight. That’s the third try that’s gone straight through the middle of that combo.

The D line speed is poor - too much ball watching and waiting for what the opposition player will do with the pill - you need to take away time and space. - Make them decide and not give them the choices as my old Juniors Coach would often say.

[HunchoRooster]

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.

Well said.

[Lydon]

How the hell is that an escort on Whyte?

That’s an embarrassing decision

[weplayforprems]

Yet another completely horse shit decision just gifts them 2 points

[Chook2]

Harry grant was 10 mtrs away and was never going to be involved in the play

[Big Dog]

Well end of an era

Our premiership window closed several years ago and it looks bleak from here on with clueless Trent still in charge.

[Recky62]

Wait a fkn second …Hurry Grunt just ran into Naf, who wasn’t fkn looking I might add
