Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Rocky Rhodes]

Don't get too excited we ain't done yet

Who's excited? Never said we are done...i think the eels should be favourite though...Rads played a huge part in our early season form..

[King Salvo]

Jesus Christ what a night.

Poasa will be back and straight into the line up.

Who's next after that, Egan Butcher?

Poasa - he'll be well rested as the Warriors sure spend a lot of time standing behind their try line waiting for conversations- NRL must be losing patience with them - maybe time to cut them and have a second Brisbane team

this team is far braver then I. the last 20 of the first half, my head dropped, long story short, I split with the missus 3 weeks ago, a bit heartbroken, work kept me busy , and this team gave me joy. tonight I lost hope, for 20 mins , but I regained it, the team means so much to me. ps I know other woman come along but yea it's still fresh.

Sorry to hear mate that’s rough, your pretty brave dude to share that here on a forum, I know nothing anyone says here will make you feel better, apart from the chooks winning that will keep your spirits up guaranteed.
Keep yourself busy and get back on the saddle man, my problem is I can’t commit to the one lady I’ve let heaps of good honest loyal women slip through my fingers, I haven’t learnt anything my man, I’m hopeless jumping around dating apps wasting my time lmfao.
Take solace in the fact that the Chooks are still the team to beat.

[Rocky Rhodes]

I don't think Ryan Hall is a bad player, he has proven that

what he lacks is confidence, he keeps second guessing himself
probably due to lack of game time and injuries

this is why reserve grade is so important

Hall like the rubik's cube, belongs in the eighties...looks like a player for another time and another country. Players go to England to retire...not the other way around. At least he had a good holiday over here..that is all.

hall was solid. could have done better with the try (but it was a great pass and he was kind of marking 2 players).

yea, agreed, was prepared to back hall till tonight, but yea he doest look likely at all. a square peg in a round hole, whether it's the NRL, the roosters structures , his ability he just seems out at sea imo, might fit at another club but not at the roosters

Yeh good carries and a brilliant tackle on Ravalawa close to the line. Shame about leaving him unmarked for the Dragons first but that's an easy fix.

For a back up option I think he's done a perfectly fine job. Keep in mind only his 9th game in the NRL and coming off an ACL reconstruction this year.

He runs big metres without being noticed ay?

I don't think his defence is as smart as the others. However, you can't really fault a guy who's running ~200m a game. I mean, there's a certain FB who runs about 50m a game and he's apparently playing his best footy at FB.

yeah, he would be one of the best outside back reserves in the nrl. and he was taking the first carry coming off our line which isn't easy.

Vic Gone for the yr almost certain...Congrat's Parra..premiers 2020..

Chin up princess

[The Lip]

Hopefully it’s a MCL, an ACL would really suck. Liu is a good replacement though.

He is I think as well - can fill that ball playing 13 role well - good hands and feet.

[Bansai Pipeline]

All those short turn arounds finally add up.

[The Lip]

Easy.
Keep calm and carry on.
Ban players recklessly throwing themselves around trying to make unnecessary tackles.
Ban players trying fancy footwork.

Refuse to play on that ground again.
Demand to play on the SCG.

Yeah and ban cut out passes, flick passes, run arounds, in and away s, over vigorous stretches, hitting top pace, tackling and hair products.

Not sure about the good hands...I think SST kind of played Rads role last night. He is very skilful maybe he's the best option at 13.
