Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[ism22]

All teams lift when playing the back to back Premiers.

Yeah it's an issue ay. Everybody would be analysing videos of us 24/7 and working out a plan to crack us rather than a plan to be successful every week.

Whereas, we've just gotta improve every week and be prepared for whatever they throw us (knowing the refs will have zero sympathy + make a boot load of wrong calls against us). It's our poor defence + errors that loses games for us (not the refs). However, it's tough being the standard of the comp.

[Grant Hedger]

Our go forward is too slow. Service out of dummy half is terrible.

[Mickie Lane]

No Radley no Verrills no Crighton no Tupou & players like Friend, Cordner & Butcher playing busted is starting to take its toll.

Three forces are against us today unfortunately: the Warriors bogey side, that dreaded Gosford curse and the wet weather. (I keep thinking back to that 2010 grand final - awful.)

It didn’t rain a single drop in the first half. Weather is no excuse. It rains for both sides. (Good for the growth of the grass).

[Bahrain Rooster]

Lam needs to be out there, will offer more spark out of dummy half.

Only good news I see is that we're all sitting down going 'THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH - GOTTA LIFT IN THE SECOND HALF!!!' whereas the Warriors look like they're celebrating already.

Gonna call it... we'll win by 20+.

[Monaco's Fan Club]

Play friend at lock, please !!!

[Bondicigar]

cricket score predictions to not making the finals in 40 minutes of footy. The bipolar pen

[King Salvo]

With the rain falling Warriors will play tight and kick long and sweat on Chooks mistakes as Chooks have to force the play playing catchup. Anyone think Tedesco is playing injured just not getting involved enough or effective - Keary and Tedesco need to weave some magic to get out of this one

[bondi.boy]

We have 40 minutes to save our season.
Lose this game and we're finished for 2020.

Robbo talked to Teddy before anybody else at half time... if that means anything. Could just be a tactic or something and we're re-thinking it in light of circumstances?

I say we win by 20+ still.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Still expecting a win but gee that was an embarrassing first 40 mins....gee we are overrated, living on past glories ain't gonna count for anything in 2020..

True but, over time, it seems to disadvantage our play more than other sides. Okay, if that's the case, then, let's hope it doesn't start raining! The commentators have mentioned it being a drizzly Saturday afternoon - I thought it might have been light showers.
