Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[Bates]

Nope, not at all. As if that was Dom Young who missed that tackle as Toops did, you would be on here blowing up deluxe about it.

Not sure what you have against Dom Young, and I am getting bad vibes about it, as you don't nit-pick other players the same way, and you seem to have some infatuation with Dom Young for whatever reason that is.

Is there a translator in the house?

Just saw your post.....i didn't copy you i promise!!!

Yeah these are the type of games that Sam can open up

No points in 55 odd minutes is a worry.

Try to look at it as 1pt every 13 min was scored to average it out.

[Eggspert]

Another one that was devastated by last weeks result

Zzzzzzz.. got any new material?

You had the whole off-season to come up with better.

[Waylander]

This team will be a bit bipolar for at least the first half of the season. Expect quite a lot of ups & downs, especially until Walker returns.

We have plenty of talent but are lacking experience. After the high of last week, and travelling across the ditch for this game, the odds were in favour of us having a down night.

If we can bolster our bench with some effective middles we will win a lot more of those kinds of games. I expected Losalu to come in for Foketi. Once Lindsay pulled out we were weak on the bench for middle forwards. Maketoa is largely ineffective.

played with a lot of effort, just some poor execution and errors that cost the team. Losing connor didn’t help either.

100% mr

When Toops and Marky Mark get their combos right, they will be unstoppable. They’re not that far away.

Rob T just needs to be more patient.

Steep just as ineffective
rotten luck to loose Collins, and both Vaa bros so early on as well as butchers
doesn’t help when we let middles go either

[Chook2]

One real positive was Leniu that was the best game he has had starting
showed us he can start and also played a good 55 min so not just a short burst guy
we badly need someone to step up once Whyte and Leniu are off

[Eggspert]

More credit should go to the Warriors.

After they got done easily by Canberra & most pundits writing them off as a bottom tier team this year, they have taken down a high scoring Manly & Roosters teams from the week before.

The Chooks had a decent crack & weren't disgraced. Thats the main thing.

Onto next week.

Glad robbo and teddy both mentioned

it was sitting right there for us to win - and we lost it

handling errors at crucial times, key players particularly edge guys not finishing

and mainly we didn’t stay in the grind we tried to hard to go for the knock out blow instead of grind it out

at least it was truthful this time around

Those second half errors mainly came via fatigue.

As much as I love the romanticism of a Easts junior playing first grade, if it comes at a disservice to the overall team, it’s not worthy. Playing against the big Warriors, you know what you’re getting, and we needed an extra big to ease the load. As much as Hugo would love playin NRL, they should be giving him every chance to succeed, both personally and for the betterment of the team.

Next week against the Tits, who also have a giant pack, I’d expect a bigger bench to match them

Nonsense I nit pick everything. If anything I try my best to not over analyse things too much as I've been called out multiple times on here for doing so.

What I never see you do though is criticise players or the team, you're usually labelling people as fake fans or fair weathered for such things. I just think it's odd timing, that's all. But hey I hope you continue, certainly great to see you posting your own thoughts for a change.

I also know what you're trying to insinuate with the vibes comment and it's not appreciated, you shouldn't make such flippant comments on the back of some lazy analysis of correlation.

[Rooster_6]

It’s as good as the old tupou spare winger on the bench
why have a back up half when you allready have a utility
losalu or Roberts could have been used better
steep in not effective in the middle

Steep is a middle, he's also in his first year out of SG Ball. Lets not start writing off these kids too soon.

Apparently this is a May free zone.

When Robbo was asked about Roger doing his hammy and still making that tackle on Dom Young and he said "that's the Rooster in him".... I thought he meant picking up an injury Geez it's been a lean few years on the injury front...
