Roosters v The Cheating Storm Match Day Thread

[Kingbilly]

What a great effort, especially in defense.

I tell you another thing that was reasonably impressive, a crowd over 13K on an absolutely miserable night against an out of Sydney team

[Guest]

What great D. We won with only 46% of the ball. First time this season Melbourne have had 50%+ and lost.

We would be unbeatable if we had 50% plus ball every week

[Arties Pie]

I'm starting to believe that's for sure and I must say I am eating some humble pie too as Pearce has been playing well lately so kudo's to him.

[stringaz]

Well that was one of those victories. One of those victories that we had last year which pieced together our premiership.

Against a top side with the agenda in full force, so much possession in our half and we absorbed it all, built the wall and brought it home.

They're brillant. Pearce was brillant. Robbo's brillant. And angry. I love them

[Game Fowl]

Next week will be interesting, we won but everyone made mistakes , Robbo was filthy and will flogg them at training to improve.
Oh I would hate to be Souths next week.
We definitely wouldn't be complacent.

Our ball control was dogshit.

No ball, no field position, the Storm played perfect football...

...and we won by 12.

Wow.

Like I have said for a while, at 80% we win the comp.

Souths are another one of the teacher's pet teams.
It'll likely be a penalty-a-thon in their favour next week, from the start, same as Storm game.

We must stop giving away dumb penalties for 'hands on the ball' when opposition players are trying to play it.
Also, stop simply dropping the ball when playing it....and stop throwing wild passes where our players seem to have no idea what's happening and the ball goes to ground.

If we make as many mistakes against Souths as we did against the Storm we most likely will not win the game.

robbo is all about making decisions deciding not to throw that wayward pass, deciding to go to ground rather than into touvh etc.. hes got them finally thinking ?

Robbo seems to be a great planner.

A fair wack of the penalties we cop are deserving we are poor at wrestling and cant slow the game down if we need too without being penalised, the strom put us on our backs 80% of the time stopping our momentum and metres. The storm players hit the line upon first contact they fall forward and hit the ground on their arms not allowing u to twist them and put them on their back which means u cant lay on them as they push up to play the ball quickly. We need to take a leaf from their book

Why? We've beaten them twice this year.

The first game cronk and slater didnt play! also look at our pack and theirs and compare our bench, yet they dominated us last night...why?

Why do u think we cop so many penalties?

Because we try and slow down the ruck without resorting to chicken wings, leg twists and applying pressure to the opposing players neck. It's no coincidence the two biggest wrestlers in the comp are Melb and those grubby farking ****s at Souffs as one coach learnt that grubby shit from the other.

We don't need to adopt anything from anyone, especially shit like that.

I like the way we play and we're winning without it.

Chook.

[Johnny.]

Melbourne and the Ref's threw everything at the Roosters last night. And they won. Nothing else needs to be said, I think.

To give everyone something to whinge about.
