Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[stringaz]

We should beat them, I just wonder how much ball we'll see tonight.

A big square up coming for the 6 agains, I believe the Roosters are ready for this ambush.

[The Skeez]

Thanks Mr Waterhouse

I doubt 13 is actually Luke Ricketson

[Thirteen]

I was thinking more the two headed inbred son.

That’s a way I haven’t been described before.

[Thirteen]

I'm sure you have.

Why the need to come on here and throw insults at a fellow supporter? Unless of course you are a troll. Got any footy related comments to make?

[zac]

One of your best ever Thirteen.

The game I have been waiting for since we iced the cake last year. Havent forgiven the media for trying to discredit our magnificent b2b achievement. Believing the 6 again call affected the outcome is akin to thinking the BLM organisation is about helping people's lives.

Bsck to the spiritual home with some diehard supporters to cheer us on. The scene is set.

No Bateman or Hodgson makes their job harder, but we miss Vic and gf hero Sammy.

Interesting to see how our three quarters line up tonight.

Lets give Ricky something more to whinge and be jealous about. Easts by 16.

not so much a dog whistle to supporters, more bait to niggle those you see as the politically stupid. okay i'll have a sniff at the bait.

i can't work you out - are you taking a friendly swipe at fellow roosters supporters or are you marking your territory like an old bull?

[Thirteen]

Are you sure? Are you really, really sure?

I don’t get your point.

[FREEMAN89]

I don’t get your point.

Sometimes it's better to just ignore mate.

No one truly wins an internet battle...

The latter, clearly.

Punching downwards is the Chookpen’s stock and trade.

[Rooster1908]

I don’t get your point.

Thirteen I think we may be familiar with the new chap sweathog 18 19 20
Could it be a blast from the past

I’m with you. I know who it is.

Agree. I’ll take your advice. I won’t feed the troll.

[FREEMAN89]

Agree. I’ll take your advice. I won’t feed the troll.

Spend your energy wisely, get excited for tonight's game instead.

Roosters 34 - Faiders 14

Having watched the Fox promo for the game a few times I would like to note the following.

Firstly how that tackle on Kez when kicking the ball in the opening minutes of the game (the one where Canberra were first allowed to call out (incorrectly) they were robbed past muster from 2 touch judges and 2 referees defies logic. It’s one of the worst tackles on a kicker I have ever seen.

Secondly, Boydo standing up to Cummins when he fears the Cronk tackle might result in a penalty try says basically “if you hadn’t got the call wrong upfield a couple of minutes ago then we wouldn’t even be here”. Absolute gold.

I will be be there tonight with family and friends and can’t wait.

Grahame Annersley admitted a few days after the game that Soliola's tackle was at least worthy of a sin bin. If not for the trainer, it would have been called out at the time.

Last round I watched teams get beaten because tries were scored down their wings because their wingers were nowhere to be seen or were too far infield.

Every try not scored down our wings is a try we don't have to score in reply.

[Smee]

I expect we will be absolutely hammered by the officials, particularly in the six again department (no pun intended).
