Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[ROC181]

Cam Murray is good but in the last 2 seasons it’s Bennett 4 Robbo 0

Glad this performance came in round 25 not next week. Only saving grace is that we were 2nd regardless of the result

Hope we don't have to play these dirty filthy grubs next week

[Nicola Tesla]

Still prefer Gus on the left edge!!! But hard to tell without LK!

Any loss against the Buniess hurts but I did notice how much some of their players were celebrating. Real competition starts Monday morning. Nothing to celebrate yet.

It's exactly like my Yankees. They're 40+ games over 500 and 12 games ahead of everyone else. But the playoffs are in Mid-September.

[Fairfax]

No Keary, Aubbo, SST, Friend or Morris. Four maybe five back next week. We can only get better. Souffs had a lot to play for. Let's get them next week.

Going to be really interesting what the MRC does with JWH/Cordner tomorrow, would think if he gets charged Cordner would be right with an early guilty plea, the worry is JWH though.

[milanja]

Gotta question why jwh played out that 2nd half. Nothing good was going to be achieved.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

How long will JWH be out for? Is that his season?

[Bmw06i]

Let’s look at the positives.

Mitchell worst game in a long time
Tupouniua very lazy defender, won’t be playing first grade again this year.

Robbo wont be happy which is a good thing in preparation for next week.

[Rooster_6]

Our edges were very poor defensively tonight. Cordner, Manu, Crichton & Latrell all missed a ton of tackles. Just simple hole running and the bunnies just got in behind our line too easily.

Personnel won't change that, there's some real improvement needed next week.

[roosterchook]

Eh, not much going by the first half.....bombed 3 tries then didn't really look keen in the second. Should have rested more players if we aren't playing to win.

. A win was not as important as injuries and suspensions. We played clueless in attack. Our second half performances seem to go bad for some reason. We should have rested a lot of players and copped a big loss.

Gotta question why jwh played out that 2nd half. Nothing good was going to be achieved.

What was up with Liu he didn't return in the 2nd half?

[Johnny Brass]

Bunnies played well once they got a sniff tonight. Cam Murray man of the match he's an outstanding footballer and Manu best for us tonight.
I'm not worried about the loss but I am about JWH being on report with his track record and Cronk injured in the last minute.
Some bad injuries for the bunnies with a probable storm match up .
Put Morris, Aubo and Keary back in the line up and bring on the raiders at the cricket ground.

[mattyh]

seriously that was not a good result , the jwh thing makes it worse. this b2b premiership is not a gimme.

That's why Aubo is so important to our right edge defence
