Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Broncos

[Big Dog]

When do Roosters NRLW Squad start playing .

They played tonight didn't they?

[Eggspert]

Is it over yet?

No

Still 26rds to go.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

50. Doesn’t that mean we won’t win the comp.

I'll be happy if we win the toss this year.

[Eggspert]

To be fair, scoring 3 tries at least gave me something to like about the game. At that point I don't think we needed boring, long kicks with the purpose of trying to delay the inevitable 'next try'. We needed to have a dig and do something for the fans, which we did...

Yep I'm glad they had a dig & gave the Broncos fans 50pts

[Chook2]

Starting with positives
- Teddy was amazing as ever
- Toia is an absolute gun and showed his potential - looks trimmed down abit sense last year maybe to reduce injury
- Marky N looked hard to contain as well

where do we start with negatives
- injuries are just unlucky and will hurt more with rads our next week
- robbo - just F off
- recruitment and retention (do we even have this department? wtf are we doing with the millions we lad from all the players leaving?
- letting Terrell may go when we have no front rowers
- not going harder at Ben hunt when we had cash and injury issues
- defense has fallen off a cliff
- Collins hits hard in d but lost all confidence running the ball

let’s just hope in the next two weeks rads, both butchers, Spencer, and Billy smith are all back

Think it's more to do with the refs mate.Apparently it's there fault.Nothing to do with the players or coaching staff

[HunchoRooster]

Makes you wonder what on earth we do all pre-season. I know everyone trains hard but we looked so unfit and so under-prepared, almost overwhelmed. Especially in the forwards. Shame we let one of the fittest and most skilful ones walk out for nothing as he didn't fit the future of the club. What's the future? Pedestrian defending and forwards on their haunches after 5 mins? Pitiful showing tonight from the forwards.

Toia far and away our best and a bright spot. Teddy tries his guts out all the time. Marky Mark flashes of quality aswell.

Chad T. Wow. Almost feel sorry piling on him. Looks miles off it and too slow. Almost like we could've predicted that given he got dropped by a mid table Cows and released a year early from his contract.

[Lydon]

What a player!

He'll be the best centre in the comp one day.

100%

[Steggles]

Of course as you bet on the Roosters to miss the 8 and finish last so you would be happy with the start to the season as your bet is in play in your mind - As solid as a supporter as liquid water

Is there a reason you’re having a crack at a fellow Chookpenner rather than commenting on the performance that your team just dished up?
Are you sure you actually give a shit about the club, or are performances like that completely acceptable in your mind?

I genuinely dont think KS has the ability to constructively provide an opinion, particularly a negative one, unless it's questioning other people's support of the club.

Otherwise he speaks in clichés, goes on a random tangent or regurgitates stats.

Sally is looking for somewhere to stay tonight as he was silly enough to put his house on a Roosters win.

[RoosterFanNZ]

I am willing to give the team a bit more time to show some improvement.

But yeah, things don't look good.

To give up 50, game 1, is a HUGE concern.

When Radley went off, why not put Watson to lock and bring on ZDC ??

See you round 3.

cause that’s too much common sense, we try to out complicate people and it always backfires

[ConGa]

when Cheese is back, I'd like Robbo to try going with him & Leniu on the bench for impact. Those two are the games best impact players and can turn the tide quickly

[roosterchook]

Tonight was a foretaste of what we can expect much of this season. We’ve had a great run though. I can’t understand recruitment. We have lots of money.

[Qld Chook]

Robbo has gotta go. His press conference was deplorable .

Said he is proud of the boys then laughed off our lack of footy smarts.

He has officially lost me.
