Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[Bmw06i]

What’s up with Aubbo ?

He has been playing well below par since returning from the COVID break.

[Crab]

Cmon guys only 4 points in it . A lot of our bloke's playing injured . They played their guts out . We have better in us. Up the Roosters

[rozza]

To say that was disappointing is perhaps an understatement.

[Lydon]

I’m glad Robbo had the balls to replace Friend in the last 15 minutes, hope it sends a message..

[Fairfax]

Lui and Papali's tries should not have been scored in first grade.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Does Robbo have it in him to rip the boys a new one? They deserve to be flogged after 2 shit performances like that in a month. Nowhere near the Roosters standard. Nothing positive to take from this one. No commitment in defense.

[Ray Stehr]

We're officially in a slump.

[milanja]

I've been more impressed with Dunamis Lui tbh.

He's been like my exs chest... more than a handful..

yep our forwards played like marshmallows against a committed raiders, only one team wanted it tonight.

[roosterchook]

Our defense has weakened over the past few weeks likely due to injuries. A lot of soft tries scored against us but too much dropped ball. Regardless I don’t think the ref was fair tonight. Not impressed by the raiders. They had plenty of 50/50 calls go their way. 4 points in it and we had a disallowed try. We didn’t deserve to win but neither did they. A lot of hits to the head by these cheats.

[Tommy Smith]

In our 4 losses this year we were leading each game at half time.

That's awful.

Constantly being overrun.

[Johnny Brass]

Terribly costly loss for us , Friend, Crichton and Collins had really bad nights for us and papalli dominated the 2nd half with a huge performance backed up by tapani.
We had more than enough chances tonight and we weren't good enough.
A worrying sign is that besides the Parra win we haven't beaten any of the other teams up the top of the ladder.
We will get back on track with an easy run for the next few weeks but a lot of the other teams up the top have easy draws and will definitely make the top 4. This is a loss we didn't need and has put us in a precarious position for a crucial top 4 spot.

[The Marshall]

Very poor effort, way to many errors. Played like a team that read the papers and thought they would turn up and win. We really should have been to good for injury riddled Canberra on a short back up.

Robbo will probably say he enjoyed the game, time to stop being a spectator and start coaching again.

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Our defence was so un-Rooster like tonight.

I just cannot believe how bad it actually was.

Interesting week coming up in recovery and training.

I think you’re using the term constantly wrong. We are the back to back champs...
