Official Match Day Thread: Roosters V Bulldogs

[Teddy]

and we only have to wait 5 days for our next game.

Beats nearly two weeks some people were losing it, Aubo and Coach Robinson bust up, no more long turn arounds gee whiz this place has it all.

[Smee]

Very solid business like win. Will still be tough next week with the 5 vs 8 day recovery. GO EASTSSSS

5 day recovery after a training run won't matter.

With JWH back, we should be ready to go for Saturday. After we beat the pretenders, we will hopefully continue the form to go all the way to the 3 peat which will solidify the team as the best of the modern era and Robbo will go down as one of the great coaches of all time.

[Johnny Brass]

We are absolutely blessed to support this footy team during this golden era. They work for each other on every play in both attack and defence and everyone is held accountable.
Great to see the improvement in young Flanagan from the start of the year and even as an unabashed Aubo fan I think Gus with his footwork and improved work ethic in the little areas is a better fit.
The new rules are benefitting us no end in attack and our hit , lift and drive defence hasn't been hurt as much as the ball on hand , wrestling techniques of the storm.
Looking forward to next week's game against a very good opponent, the threepeat is well and truly alive.

[Nicola Tesla]

The period where Collins SST Radley were off was when we lost that punch and therefore lost our way... a couple of clumsy play the balls ( one was unlucky) Killed momentum!

[stringaz]

Couple of half chances should have been waited on, until they became full blown opportunities said robbo in the presser.

good performance for 50 mins, pretty poor for 30. teddy , Joey, Kyle,keary, Gus, boyd, jake all solid. nowhere near as good as last week, but dogs I suspect have a little more heart then the Broncos, if not the talent. robbo won't be thrilled with certain aspects of the game, thought our right ? edge d was exposed a few times, gee foran is a good player to bad about his issues since he left manly. loving our points differential at the moment, gee the fox team gushing over us, even ikin and roach. bring on parra, will be a good test, great start to the post covid comp. ps hate Monday night football, having to rush home get food on in time for kick off.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

We're so good its unbelievable.....as the chant goes in the Pen!

Brilliant first half, then got a bit scrappy for early part of the 2nd. Brought it home strong though.

Teddy, Flanagan, BMoz and Angus all outstanding.

Black hat on....Luke and Nat Butch off the pace a bit.

Think Nat and Sammy miss the cut all hands on deck.

Bring on Parra!

[Teddy]

Commiserations to the dogs, they played with a lot of heart, they never went belly up and didn’t stop trying, very unlucky not to get a couple more tries Crichton on the line and the last pass from Averillo, Foran still has it, Hoppa was solid too. Some of the raids looked good just lacked polish but that’s the pressure of trying to score against Easts its a huge mental barrier for sides that come up against us.
I’m looking forward to the Slimeballs game and having THE BEAST back, good tactical call by Robbo to keep Jared fresh he will be on a mission in the first 20.

[The Sack]

We have to be perfect next game when we play the premiership favourites.
Giving away all those penalties and making errors next game just won't cut it.

Roosters are favourites last time I checked. Take a chill pill BB.

[bondi.boy]

Kyle Flanagan is fantastic!

[Chookies74]

Fark our forwards hit

I reckon that's one of the major differences to us and other teams. Coach and senior players have said, let's play footy, lets hit the pricks hard, that's what rugba league is all about. Not just grab, hold, cuddle, spin, rotate etc.
I'm sure the players all love the fact the boss wants them to hit hard and backs them to do it.
