Official Match Day Thread: Roosters V Bulldogs

[Seventy Five]

Why was the Terry Lamb breach so different. Quick turnaround on test results, everyone given the all clear. Carry on, nothing to see here.

Where had Lamb been, who had he been in contact with? Why was the possibility of a false negative test result not considered in this instance. He breached the bubble, and what's not to say virus wasn't in the incubation phase when he tested negative.

It all seems very random and sporadic. Simply, after a couple of stuff ups the NRL has decided to undertake a PR exercise to show how serious they are taking the Covid protocols.

We will account for the Dogs but we will make an example of the Eels.

Pretty much. Any chance to stiff us...

On a less cynical note, I think the news came at like 10:00pm last night about the teacher at Laguna Primary? Guessing Tolman's either asleep or switched off by then. Received the call/news in the morning, got tested ASAP and the NRL had to make a call that if the result wasn't back by say lunchtime, they'd have to postpone the game.

Meh. We'll adapt... we always do.

don't forget we have an 11 day turn around to this game , so no excuses.

Yep we'd better show up!!!!

The last game was a training session too, so we should be fresh.

I went for a 22km hill run last night so I've made room for beers... feel like I've done my part for the boys

22km hill run - that’s impressive - sorry I didn’t respond earlier I was doing burpees 7294 of them just finished - exhausting!

Who else was pissed off severely about the game postponement? Ruined my Sunday.

Yes there is that but Monday night football sucks in general. I think the situation could have been dealt with differently.

That’s a good number mattyh, I’ll go one better and say 23 (it’s been a lucky number for me I have backed the winning Melbourne Cup horse two years running, both horses that won wore the #23) Keary to pot a field goal before halftime.

I stroked my old fella 22 times yesterday. Does that count?

It definitely sucks to go to compared to fri sat sun games but to watch on tv for some reason I really quiet like it. Good to have something to look forward to on a Monday I guess.

I think with all this covid complications everyone has to be fluid and just get on with the inconveniences and be adaptable as possible and that’s what we are doing - was always going to be crap like this happen and it’s great we have a game to watch and that it wasn’t cancelled full stop I think.
