Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[Darkone]

Ah well you missed all the best bits.

Lol

[Rooster Fred]

Will be interesting to see how much game time he gets. Can’t see him being used at all if the game is tight or unless there is an injury. If we have a decent lead with ten to go he may give Jake a break.

Great call Beaver Cleaver.

[Thirteen]

Great call Beaver Cleaver.

Thank you Fred. Yes seems I was correct.

[Johnny73]

Yeah while Ikuvalu was amazing, I think part of his success came down to the fact Valentine Holmes went off injured and they had Ben Hampton (some random half from back when I used to play NRL Fantasy). He's pretty tiny, isn't a winger and got caught out massively..

Exactly. Great effort but if Holmes was fit and gave a damn, Iku wouldn't be on any lists.

[Rooster1908]

Seems even if Iku scored five tries against the best opposition he still wouldn't be good enough.

I didn’t end up turning the game off, just got a drink, calmed down and continued watching.

Ikuvalu pulled off some freakish tries too... a real credit to our development systems! I guess training against Morris (Australia x 2), Toops (Tonga & NSW), Manu (NZ), Tesesco (Australia), Hall (England), [Latrell] (Australia)...etc for a spot in the outside backs is as good as playing rep footy every week.

Correction Jizz, Toops also played for Australia. He played in both the PMs XIII and the Kangaroos 4 Nations side in 2014.

Sam, Victor, Toups, Cords, BMoz, Friend, JWH... that’s seven players that were in the GF and we did not rely on for most of yesterday’s game and we smashed the cows. Is this team Up To Now, better than the last 2 years? If so, then I’m glad we got rid of that guy who was holding us back AKA Cronk!

[zac]

they're missing their best player but gee cows have been poor. maybe time for greeny to move on.

[OMR]

You can only play what’s in front of you

Think we played badly at the start of this game?

Tried to watch the Titans v Warriors just now...very poor standard of play IMO.
Mistake-riddled from start to finish...well up until the last 23 mins anyway, when I could stand no more and left the tv.

Often the forgotten man. He’s our toiler. Doesn’t get the accolades but just gets the job done.

The tigpies vs Vermin game is worse IMO.

Tigpies seem to have drawn the short straw with the officials as Souffs getting everything their way
