Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Saints

[FREEMAN89]

Lomax is a gun,

But for mine, the biggest turning point for Saints was young Tristan Sailor, he's very live wire and has very good eyes up vision.

Was on edge every time he had the ball in hand and seemed to have an eternity before making his decision, very good attribute for a youngster.

SBW is on the Matty Johns show at the moment.

Fifita and Hutch were impressive off the bench. Flanno will probably be back next week just because he can kick. If Lam could practice goal kicking, he’ll be great in the 7 long term.

With all our inclusions next week I'm incredibly excited to see how the boys go in the run to the finals.

Would get Flanno back for his goal kicking alone. 3 missed kicks would be crucial in a close game. Lam has done enough to keep the #14 for me. Can't see what Flanno has done wrong not to be named

[Johnny Brass]

Was lam a better option than Flanagan ?

Yes he was , stronger in defence and took the line on. He also has some decent length with his boot with his kicking in general play. Flanagan's goal kicking was missed.

When was the last time we beat a side with 9 walk up starters out?! Incredible

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Can we throw some money at Lomax. Would love to get him on the left centre (if he can play left side) once JMoz calls it quits

[rozza]

Gutsy victory given the players we were missing Lam was impressive tonight as well as Taukeiaho and Keary and finally a huge congrats to Aubo on 300 games for this club.

I think Flanno has been fine in defence... and a good goal kicker imo is worth more than the occasional run... IMO flanno over Lam for now.

Completely agree mate. We definitely missed his goal kicking, but Lam was fantastic tonight. Once a few of the boys do some goal kicking practice we'll be fine.

[Bansai Pipeline]

That was a Keary masterclass. The style in all of those positions he got himself into. Just the body movement.

Stunning game.

[bondi paul]

A wonderful morale boosting win. SBW would be impressed.
I felt they played strong the entire 80 contrary to what some thought in the first 40. Aubo was a standout among many others. Rookie Roosters Reign.

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Joey Johns has been full of praise about our team and its prospects, great to see.

man flanno looked gutted in the sheds
