Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[Thirteen]

Who was our best today? Keary? Teddy tried hard but they handled him very well.

[Tommy Smith]

Yeah Keary, easily.

I say Keary because he ended up clenching and then sealing the result.

Teddy and JWH tried very hard and as Robbo said, played themselves into the game. However, they weren't as influential IMO. Keary basically had the ball on a string and locked the Warriors outta the game. If he hadn't forced all those repeat sets, there's a chance we woulda cracked under pressure.

Jmoz deserves a mention for his defensive efforts especially in first half

[Johnny Brass]

Terrible game and we only just got over the line against a struggling team. We look busted and gassed at the moment , JWH and Jake need a rest they are well below par and need a week off.
Chris Sutton was mainly a touchie when there were two refs yet has managed to get a gig when they have cut the number in half thanks to his brother running the show.
Gus mentioned on the Monday night footy show a couple of weeks ago that he could fix the refs up in 5 minutes, he said there's some good young refs but there's an element that is controlling the ranks that he would sack.
Blind Freddie can see the Sutton regime is running the referee ranks you don't have to be Billy Fields to know that.
I think we're in a bit of bother at the moment and the injuries have caught up with us, the boys are trying but they look flat.

"Never give a sucker an even break".

Getting towards the end of the game, take the 2, go 10 ahead, get the ball back, attack and make them keep tackling.
Possession is everything.

I think the short kick off might have crossed their minds in going for 6 instead of 2

[Johnny73]

Song for the Roosters.

[Pablo Escobar]

Got the points. move on.

The referees do have bad habits.

[The Lip]

Have a look at manu on that try. Small detail but keep him on the touch line. Chose to run past him. Disappointing

Agree that was crap - he had a very lazy game until his try. Which was all effort but until then looked liked he couldn’t care less about the result.

[Vasco]

Most important thing is we got the 2 points and no injuries..

On to next week!

That's all that matters.

Kept them scoreless in the second half.

[Vasco]

Add that we should've beaten Manly and the Storm. We love doing it the hard way.

Could easily make a case for being undefeated.

Just need to get through the next two games unscathed.

Then we can beat the Storm. After that it's the Tigers and Broncos.

Should be looking at 10 points during this period (Warriors, Titans, Steelers, Storm, Tigers and Broncos).

Plenty of "training knocks" coming up.

[The Sack]

Why would a winger who scored 5 tries on his preferred right side be back on the left wing the next couple of games? Ikuvalu looks a little lost on the left. I'd play him on the right. Don't change the team too much when it wins well. Put B. Morris on the left with his brother. Young Flanno needs to show and go and support players need to get a little deeper in attack.

[The Skeez]

Loved the Jared/Hetherington battle which after the initial eruption, Bill Mullins’ nephew lost the stomach. Was a bit spewing that Jared dissed him after full time, but alpha dogs do what they need to do, I guess. I’m sure after they got in the sheds he’d have gone and said hi

Loved it too. If anything, it got Jared going and then he ignited the side to hold on in the second half. In Boyd’s absence it was required

He should have shook his hand post game though, although I admit I didnt see that footage.

Did that really happen as reported?

If so, Hetherington must have crossed a line with his talk. Unlike JWH.
