Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Rabbits

[Roosta4life]

Fark we should be ahead by more. Poor decision making in their half has cost us.

[Thirteen]

Loving the fast game and the low error rate.

Not loving the 6 point lead despite the domination.
Should be up by 18.

Hoping to see Sam V get a good solid 20 minutes.

[Johnny Brass]

Ashley Klein been looking after the brothers and keeping Souths in the game. Anyone who doesn't think some refs are biased don't have a clue.
The boys have been terrific , we need verrills on he would carve them up from dummy half.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Pretty dominant...loving the hits. Vic outstanding. That triple play on BMoz to deny a try was herculean.

[Bmw06i]

Wow no way Souths have been entitled to 6 penalties.

[Thirteen]

Burgess on the half time panel. I may have to switch back to Nine.

[Thirteen]

We have the two best wingers in the comp.

[PRIDE]

Well well well, Roosters started out strong, got an early penalty to a shot on big JWH and then scored from a great bomb from Keary who looked like he was going to have a really big game.

Game settled into a arm wrestle and Souths fought hard to get back into the game.

Then an Roosters raid in the middle of the field saw Keary break into the backfield with Morris unmarked on the left and Teddy screaming up in the middle seemingly headed for scoring under the sticks and Keary, for reasons only he knows, held onto the ball and the movement died.

Shortly after another raid on the left edge which saw Radley to Keary to Tedesco unlocked Jmoz who put Tupou down the left edge, back inside to Jmoz who cross kicked infield for a great Roosters try scored by Kyle Flanagan who has been impressive this evening.

Shortly later a Keary (who has been our best) pass is intercepted by Gagai or was it Burns?, who appears to set sail for a long range try but Bmoz shows remarkable speed to run him down, Burns or Gagai (I cannot remember who? offloads to Johnston and Souths are going to score for sure but Bmoz someone mananges to bring him down in the same movement. It was amazing, then he defuses the kick at the end of the set gold standard stuff.

Keary makes a few more errors and we finally get on the board from a Cam Murray try after nice lead up by Latrell. But Latrell is quite a lazy footballer and you can not be a lazy player as a fullback. I really think Keary is a great player but is struggling to be the leading half now, adjusting to life without Cronk on the field. Over time he will hit form again.

Best player for the Roosters has been Radley, closely followed by the Morris brothers, Cordner and Chrichton have been very strong and your starting props JWH and Collins are beasts, Tupou and Manu classy backs, Tedesco always busy.

For Souths, Knight, Graham, Cook, Murray and Gagai have been very good, tbh its still anyones game due to the time we scored the try 6 out from half time'and the scoreline now pretty tight, however, Roosters could have been easily up by 18 or 24 if Keary didnt make those errors.

[Fairfax]

Lindsay Collins has been mighty too.

[Grant Hedger]

They’ve found new ways to penalize us. Offsides and spear tackle?

Pride I can’t argue with any of that. Good summary. I’m just loving having footy back and I can’t believe how fast the game is. Sets of six seem to be passing in 30 seconds. It’s lightning quick.

[Rooster1908]

Morris brothers have been awesome especially Brett's defence , Victor the inflictor solid as well, Collins was a machine in his 20 , 1/2s are a bit disjointed but very early in the season.We should be ahead by a lot more but think if we play that way in the 2nd half we should get the points .Interested in Sam getting a run , game is fast and would suit him

[Teddy]

What is Robbo doing with Verrils honestly is he going to sit on the bench until the 70th minute Verrils would have carved Souffs up that last 10 minutes of the half?

What about Vic’s hit just after the “spear”. It hurt my ribs!

Latrell playing well also after that one error, denied Keary a try and set up Souths one. Will see how much gas he has for the 2nd half, needs to play well if Souths are a chance.
