Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[Grant Hedger]

That was rubbish

[The Skeez]

The refs don’t call 6 again after the first 15 mins

[RoosterBoi]

Wins a win although performance has alot to be desired. Onwards and upwards for next week.

[Tommy Smith]

Ugly as **** but such a crucial win.

As mentioned we should have had 20 odd set restarts. No coincidence the game was close when refereed like that.

We just need to battle through this tough period and keep racking up the wins, no matter how ugly.

win's better than a loss

[stringaz]

**** that game, couldn't get a fast ptb for all money, chooks not at the standard with players missing to overcome that crap time for robbo to instill a siege mentality

[Bmw06i]

This Ref shouldn’t be reffing again in first grade again.

Hammered with penalty’s and 6 agains in the first 15-20 mins then nothing at all.

suddenly both side became perfect ?

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

It was an ugly win, but we will take it.

A lot to work on for Robbo and co this week.

[NorthChook]

That was a lucky escape

credit to the warriors - they played a very solid game of footy, didnt do much wrong. Extremely brave in their circumstances

roosters looked lame most of that game and couldn’t gain momentum. I think with injuries we lack those that bend the line back which allows our attacking players to shine

missing players like toops, cordner, radley, Crichton really shows at times like that when we need to get back into a game

keary really stepped up

the only ones who looked to bend the line back tonight was sitili, Tauks and butcher/Collins in small phases. Jared only when fired up. I thought Lam made an impact too from the bench with some good tempo. Teddy worked hard but had little given to him

Expect it all year, trying to keep games close and new premiers they all want.

I can see the boys getting frustrated especially friend

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

That's a relief. Glad that one is over.

[Tommy Smith]

Should've taken the 2...to make it 20-10.
This team knows nothing.

B2B Premiers.

They know a few things.

Yeah it was a sympathy match... IMO the order from above was that those who are returning to NZ (hadn't heard about that - Warriors potentially folding this season) can't go out with a 60-0 loss.

We still won and it was good training coz I don't expect the refs to be any less shyte next week. We're at our best when the refs pull the wool over everybody's eyes and we still come up with the lollies! (Even with Cords, Gussie, Toops, Radley, Verrills and Smith injured - by far the biggest and most significant injury toll in the comp).

Titans next week. IMO if we can win all the games we 'should win', we will finish top 4 + SBW will arrive just in time to rev us up for a premiership.

PS - I reckon SBW's gonna (legally) knock the bejeezus outta Cam Smith in a GF, forcing him from the field (into retirement) and sealing the deal for us. We sent Cockroach out a loser (and Smith - he was gonna retire in 2018... then 2019 but thinks he deserves to go out with a premiership). Let's do it to Smith a second third time! Can't keep delaying your retirement, mate.

Sitilli tried his guts out

[The Brain]

The roosters have to re-think their attack last few weeks refs arent reffing the 10 ....
