Official Anzac Day Match Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Headless Chook]

Spot on Brain. That was a stupid stupid play to first run away from support and then try that no-look flick pass out the back to nobody.

Yeah I think he got excited and thought he was going to be able to burn them. I'm sure he know's he got that one wrong, Teddy would have scored near the posts. What about the run and offload from Captain Cords though!

[Headless Chook]

What a dour match it was but very pleasing that the Roosters won on this day against that team.

For some reason a lot of the players looked very tired, perhaps due to today's unseasonably warm day.

I thought it was anything but dour, the second half in particular was end to end there for a while

They went through hell in Melbourne 6 days ago, I don't think we can underestimate that.

Jake Friend excellent. Without him I don't think we win today.

Really struggled to get our attack on today without Keary.

SST, Teddy, Cordner, Toops all really strong today too.

I have to agree with you here. We missed Keary big time today. Our attack at times was disjointed. In the first half we had the merge on the ropes, only to throw the ball away.

Lam poor.

Another nepotistic disaster.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Cronk pretty dreadful too TBH

Oh shut up and get your red white and blue goggles on , lol.

I’m sorry. Pls forgive me.

[Darkone]

they were still buggered from the Storm game

kudos to Saints for gutsy 2nd half

[rented tracksuit]

Lam poor.

Another nepotistic disaster.

I was shocked at how nowhere near first grade he really is.

If if we persist with him a bit longer, let’s hope he Ikuvalu’s us all! Oh... hang on

[Thirteen]

Ugly win.
I don’t want to see the replay.

There's nothing ugly about beating St Merge.

It's a thing of beauty.

Enjoy it.

Don’t get me wrong I’m happy as. I just think it was not very impressive.

Agree with you Bansai Pipeline i. I thought he was average today which shows he's human.

Headless Chook, Cordner's offload was a beauty. Pity Lam didn't match his effort to Cordner's.
Rooster_6, by your reasoning they'll look that tired after every six day turnaround. I'm thinking it was because it was a day game but that's a flimsy reason.

Less so the 6 day turn around in isolation.

The combination of a 6 day turn around, with travel on the back of a hugely physical and intense grind against the Storm.

Obviously (based on one of my earler posts) I'm of the same view as Thirteen. I was thinking the Roosters would have put more on the board in the first half given the possession as 14 was not reflective of a 70/30 split. Nevertheless, well done to the Roosters on their best start to a season in what, 20 years?
