Official match day thread: Roosters v Saints

[HunchoRooster]

If Saints don't win by 20 odd you can put as morals for finishing bottom 2 or 3. This is their full strength side.

[Superdag]

Naufahu Whyte looks massive

[Easts75]

Whyte good early
Ben Loelu looks solid as he did in last years trial
Toia & Young look 'interesting' defensively lol.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Our attack in their 20 needs a bit of work. Had a few opportunities to come away with points but nothing yet.

[Inflictor]

Whyte still has NFI how to tackle on our line. Lazy fcuk.

FFS

Some really soft goal line defence leading to both tries. Hopefully this is just cobwebs that needs to be cleaned up.

[DP1990]

Only a trial game, but bloody hell, we look slow and ordinary.

There is no line speed, and our attack looks flat.

This is going to be a long season !

[Easts75]

Townsend will take a few weeks to show you why the Cows punted him to reserves in favour of Clifford. Absolutely legless

[BenCumminsIsACheat]

I’ve seen enough.
Robinson must be fired

[nayfo]

If this is the “roosters way” then good lord!!!

Our halves haven’t went to any of our strike out wide at all

[top_joe]

Whyte good early
Ben Loelu looks solid as he did in last years trial
Toia & Young look 'interesting' defensively lol.

Send and SOS to Billy Smith.

[RoosterFanNZ]

First post since last season… dom young for the love of god, stay on your wing

[nayfo]

Forwards look slow. We are going to miss Jazza so much this year!

[DP1990]

Have these blokes been training in the off season or what ? - Yes, I know you don't win comps in trials but bloody hell, the media and hype videos of the squad training over the last few weeks gave us fans a sense of hope but this is just pathetic.

His first game, surrounded mostly by inexperienced rookies from the lower grades.
