Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Rooster1908]

We'll done team and congratulations to Aubo , a win in his 300 th game

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Two gusty wins against the draqueens this season. Awesome effort by the boys in the 2nd

[Headless Chook]

Great win considering the injuries. Keary and SST outstanding

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

24-16, bloody hell, I will take that any day of the week.

Go the mighty mighty Roosters!

[Tommy Smith]

Aubo with his best game in a long time tonight.

The defence from our centres was incredible.

[doves07]

Was lam a better option than Flanagan ?

[FREEMAN89]

Forget about that complimentary 6 pointer at the end..

That was a fantastic effort from the boys, we're a class above ATM.

once our troops are back on deck, this comp is ours.

Keary, Tauks, Sitili, Ikavalu, Collins... incredible hard yards.

Good to see Verills and Radley out on the field post match.

[Tommy Smith]

Was lam a better option than Flanagan ?

He was certainly outstanding.

The goal kicking is a major worry though without Flanno; especially when Tauks is off the field.

We couldn't kick on from in front.

[mattyh]

magnificent performance given our injury toll and against a team who came to play. we had some magnificent performers ...keary, lam looked good, sst ( mom for me ) tuponuia was great, liu was solid ,I thought friend was good actually. young fiftita looked promising, thought tedesco was well contained and lomax for the dragons was good to.
random thoughts ...

flanno might be back on account of our woeful goal kicking.
thought ikavalu tackle on ravalava was super brave
ryan hall improved in the second half
Zac lomax is a talent
keary is essential to our chances

[roosterchook]

Very tough game. Great defense.Good win considering players out.

[milanja]

Was lam a better option than Flanagan ?

Not sure what the theory will be to put flanno back in the team after a win tonight, there is no reserve grade to prove yourself.

[Teddy]

What a wonderful display of grit, toughness, backs against the wall stuff from these wonderful players and coach 8 players missing and we keep finding a way to win my god if we can just get our starters back Cords, Gus, Mozz twins, Toops, JWH plus SBW in a few weeks, we can do this three peat! Congratulations Maubs.

[The Marshall]

Gave away 5 sets. Not good.

Yes and made over 50 tackles in the guts with the big units plus his run lead to our 2nd try. The Guy is all gusts and he is a good player.

[Johnny Brass]

What a fantastic win against the odds to chalk up a win in Aubos 300th and it was a masterstroke by Robbo to shore up our left edge with him on the dangerous Lomax.
SST took it upon himself to lead from the front and Keary just wouldn't let us get beat tonight.
Joey provided the class out wide and Teddy from the back.
Sitili was great on the edge and Butcher had his best game all year for us.
I liked the work of Fifita and farmer off the bench and Hutchinson passing in the forwards was useful when we were getting to one out.
I'm so happy with that effort from the whole team tonight that was a special win with so many out and reiterates the strength of the club

[Crab]

Great win considering the injury toll . All the replacements stepped up . Big games to Tauks , Sitili and Collins was brutal. Keary on fire and Isaac running hard. Halldog didn't score one but saved a try late , same difference . Joey Manu brilliance ! Luke Keary best going around .
