Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[Bates]

Let’s smash the filthy Vermin.

Up The Chooks!

[SamKerrSimp]

Beat Dolphin. Just beat Saints. Got smashed by Sharks. Beat Penrith with no Cleary and Edwards.

I’m glad we aren’t playing like premiers.

As opposed to getting 50 put on us at home by Brisbane, just beating Penrith who were coming back from Vegas and weakened, losing to the Warriors and losing embarrassingly to the Titans at home.

Boy I sure am glad we are playing like spoon contenders with 3 losses 1 win conceding 30 points in 3 out of 4 games so far instead of being 3 wins 1 loss like they are.

Never forget that souffs signed their stadium deal knowing that there wouldn’t be any upgrades: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl...c42dc2b2a41632

Fark the carnts. They have been at Homebush longer than they were ever at the SFS. They sold out their fans for $100k per game and suddenly want back because the new SFS is the shiny toy of Sydney. It would be great if their contract with Homebush stadium is ironclad and they can't get out of it.

[SamKerrSimp]

Why didn't we buy Wighton?
Just asking.

Now they have 2 top shelf centres...and we don't.

They have built up, we have gone down.
This must never be allowed to happen again.
Other clubs just buy top shelf players, make no apologies.

Because there is a thing called a salary cap and you can't just go and sign every $1m player in the competition

I'm praying to Artie's ashes that we pull off a miracle tonight. Because I think an Easts win will be just that. A miracle.

I live in hope.

I wasn’t alluding to us being that decent. I was just saying that Souths haven’t been that great either.

A miracle? Really? It’s Souths, they aren’t that good.

Wighton and Latrell must be the most expensive centre pairing in the games history. They would be pushing 2m as a combo.

They are ripping Souths off. Suddenly I like them.

The Allianz field is not in great shape as it is with 3 teams playing there - Sydney Roosters / Sydney FC / NSW Waratahs.

Not sure how this will go but I bet Albo will be in Minns ear about it. - Minns is a Dogs Supporter.

Souths signed the contract to play at Accor until 2030 so they should have to fulfil their contractual obligations.

Agreed.

There's a parallel world where Trell's a madarse FB and his long lost cousin (who joined the dots after getting charged with GBH outside a club in Canberra) is a prodigal half.

Reality?

Both are playing in the centres instead of the positions they were signed for. AJ's out. Campbell Graham's out. Murray's out.

They have 'strong' outside backs and a couple of good forwards (Koloamatagi and that grub who concussed Teddy a second time by ragdolling him when he was out blind).

But sorry... if we're writing this one off because we're scared of Hubbard, Tatola, Mamolablahblahzos, Keppie, Humphreys and a bony old codger then fark me dead!!!

EVERY game is gonna be tough this year but this game's one of the more winnable ones. I'll be watching with a limoncello in one hand and a grappa in the other.

Reckon we’ll dust the bunnies tonight

Yep agree...

Plenty of we should have this & could this but in the end we didn't.

Bagging other teams results is an easy out.

Tighten up the defence, hold the damn ball & we are a fighting chance.
