Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Eels

[Johnny Brass]

Real finals footy standard and just like the grand final last year when things went against early in the 2nd half thanks to some dubious Cummins calls the boys bit down on the mouthguard and withstood a very good Parra side.
Cords was massive on getting us out of trouble along with Toops. The Morris twins were fantastic and have had a new lease of life at the roosters. JWH and SST were terrific up front and Gus was huge in the 2nd half. Jake never stopped despite some tough knocks and Radley is all class in the middle. The best for mine and the difference was Keary and reiterated my point that when he plays well we win and has been the case since Rusty gifted him to us from the bunnies.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Credit to Flanagan too...they really targeted him but he stayed composed and kicked well, took his knocks.

[player 1]

Toups on one leg , man of the match,
All Roosters were great.
Parra aren't a bad team , I'll give their defence in the fist half credit.
Cummins and his six again bonanza kept them in it in the 2nd half , they need to keep him.

Cummins 6 again bonanza! Love it, that's exactly what it was.

maybe sex from someone else’s miss’s would

Always wanted to find me a roosters chick.

My misses is a bandwagon supporter cause of me.

Give me a diehard roosters girl any day.

I love radleys comment about Teddy and how he was in the sheds.

"Yeah teddys got some ice on his thumb, I think his thumb is sore..... I've been carrying a thumb injury for 2yrs" as he lifts his heavily bandaged right hand.

Hahaha the kid loves the tough stuff, gimme VRad over Murray or NBrown any day of the week.

[King Salvo]

Also, what's with the Fox Commentators favouring the Para players?

Voss really bugs me as he really is more overjoyed when a team scores against the chooks than he is in any other game when a try is scored

[Teddy]

Flanno needs a few extra kegs he was a speed bump that whole game, (Gus helped him immensely credit to him)but he never gave up he stood his ground, what about a couple of the 1 one 1’s Maubs pulled off he nailed Lane put him on his back and he smothered SIVO with a solid hit, the strength of the bloke, Sitili needs to work on his bloody handling Aubs should be ahead of him everyday of the week.

[Thirteen]

I look at the upcoming draw and I fear no one.

We got Melbourne and Canberra’s measure.

What are you talking about mate. Flano is one of the best defensive halves in the comp and im not kidding. Bloke hardly misses his tackles and makes around 25. He was immense tonight.

[Thirteen]

90% completion. That’s impressive in such a fast game these days.

Sitili needs to cut down those error rates. Love the energy though.

[rozza]

Very tough game enjoyed this far more than the Dogs game on Monday. Parramatta were a worthy opponent tonight but we held our composure and proved why we are the champions for a reason overall an excellent victory and one more note the Morris twins are freaks in a good way. Up the Chooks!

[Tommy Smith]

The love for Toops is so well deserved. Nigel Gaffey you nailed it.

His hit ups after Teddy went off turned the match. He was incredible.

That whole left edge was special.

Waqa Blake murdered Stephen Crichton last week but tonight JMoz gave him such an epic bath that he won't need to wash for a year; like a Souffs fan.

In attack and defence he put on a clinic. What a man! After he set up Toops at the end I told the gf to get out of the house because Jmoz is taking her spot.

[elo]

I look at the upcoming draw and I fear no one.

We got Melbourne and Canberra’s measure.

Back at the SCG this side is going to rack up big scores against everyone accept a very select few.

Robbo and crew will ofcourse taper the boys off once well established within the top 4 however so expect some of those Cowboys from last year type performances once we have the room to throw a stinker or two in.

[mattyh]

I actually think the talent overall in the team is down from last year, however with the acquisition of j Morris, harmony is well up. the team seems so close, best buds playing footy, counts for a lot.
