Official Match Thread - St George-Illawarra Dragons vs Sydney Roosters

F#$# the f#@$ing dragons they don't deserve that try !

They actually do through our inability to convert our own field position. We are our own worst enemy. We’ve got the ability to get into position but cant convert it into points. The way we are going, we couldn’t finish off in a cheap Thai massage parlor.

[Lydon]

Honestly, we run the same spread play every single time and teams have been jamming Keary all season. Worst coaching staff in the NRL. No plan B at all.

So true mate,same play week after week

Hopeless, just hopeless. Friend's "service" from d/h is bad. What was Latrell doing letting that ball just bounce for florence to pick it up and scoot away?

[Lemon_Goat]

Gave confidence to the dragons. Hate to be a negative nelly but i expect the floodgates to open in the second half. We arent a worse team but just dopey. They will exploit our dopiness. Dont expect St Merge to be that flat footed in the second half. Brain farts you'd expect from Parra. Expect a 6th place finish. Absolute disgrace.

[rented tracksuit]

Their defense has been good but we must have one of the worse attacks in the comp atm

Bingo and with the strike power player players in our roster, it’s inexcusable.

[King Salvo]

Cordners had a great half just been trying so hard hes on his feet. But at least when he tries it has an effect unlike friend, who cant make q pass

Cordner missed a gettable tackle for the Dragons second try though - not sure your watching the same game.

[TheLoneRooster]

Why can’t Cronk do that

Exactly what I thought, to the word.

[chopstiks]

Hunt too smart for the opposition to read that.

[elo]

We look very poorly coached tbh, Friend's horrible service doesn't help but geez way too predictable....and dumb.

[Crab]

We are 10 down half time and playing our guts out . We win this it will be memorable and we can GO ROOSTERS

[chopstiks]

Why can’t Cronk do that

He gets 0.01 seconds before a dragon is in his face. Hunt on the other hand, field day.

[David Bill Williams]

That offload from JWH to Teddy is what we need more of

[Chooky Chookerson]

Starts from dummy half, every attacking play is staggered cause friend passes are never out in front to tun on to. Didnt he ask for less minutes so hes not knackered? Why has robinson done the complete opposite

I dont like friend and radley being on at the same time. Radley needs to give friend a breather so he can be more effective. Too many of his passes have been wayward.

[Rooster_6]

Cooper Cronk is so off the pace in this game it's not even funny.

It's like having Jake Friend at halfback. Everything is done at half pace and so many passes are missing their mark.

Just watch how slow he is when he carries the ball into the line, and that right foot stutter aint fooling anyone.

We were pretty much camped in their half for 39 minutes and we came away with 2 points.

****ing embarassing. Keary and Tedesco trying so hard but just cant get into the game because of the service they are getting from their dummy half and halfback.

People have been saying its all about ball control, territory, go forward and offloads but we have had all that today and have 0 tries to show for it.

Maybe people will be forced into actually analysing why out attack is so lacklustre now. The writting has been on the wall for a while now.

Victor Radley must stay on at lock and start getting into first receiver so that he can push Keary wider to 2nd receiver. Keary shouldn't be playing first receiver footy... its not his go.

We barely put 1 try on a wooden spoon favourite last week.
