Match Thread - Sydney Roosters vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs

[Tommy Smith]

Pearce this year.

Going to go to a new level.

[Spanner in the works]

the first time you've ever been happy about the roosters and they serve this shit up

I was happy last week.

[RoosterFanNZ]

i feel robinson is going to go back to last year tactics an not use bench much, but what a try tupu again!

[Lydon]

Who was doubting Keary before the season started lol

[stringaz]

Good resilience shown gotta go on with it

[RoosterFanNZ]

i thought gordan was meant to be a goal kicker?

[Danish]

What a perfect kick. Very Souths-like in execution tbh, and the type of kick Pearce has never been able to pull off (low, driving, and precise)

Keary really showing his value early this year already.

Also, what did I say about the dogs burning out midway through the half? Hasler is a terrible coach. Has no idea how to plan a full 80 mins of footy

[Chris]

How are we winning this?

[Spanner in the works]

Great from Keary and Tupou, plus the lead up work from Aubusson et al earlier, but great to see us pull it all together quickly and recover. Last year it would've been a long game...

[RoosterFanNZ]

what a defensive set, tetevano already done more than guerra

[ROC181]

Let's not forget those couple of breaks from Fergo. I think that Euro tour did him good...

Also even though SKD had that knock on, he has been good in the high balls in defence.

[Tommy Smith]

I think we're going to have about 8 of the top 10 tries scored this year.

Also Tetevano... depthhhhhhh. So crucial.

[Rooster_6]

Tetevano looking very good so far.

Huge 40 minute effort from Napa.

Didn't see much of our right edge last week but they are looking leathal tonight. Need to send some ball out that way when we are in the 20.

Matterson looks right at home at lock too, some excellent carries so far.

Bring on a better 2nd half than last week!

[stringaz]

Jake's 40-20 broke it open like pearcey and Keary moving around the field Pearce changing things up with his passing that kick from Keary to toops wow

[sydroosters]

Definitely the better team for the last 25 minutes. Guerra should not play for us again this year, he had an absolute atrocious half.
