Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Andrew Walker]

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

We had a few out against Canterbury in 2013 and Souffs in 2017 but nine I dunno

I think the team looked real fired up today from the first whistle. was it for maubbs ? Liu, sst, tuponuia, Collins all ran harder then previous weeks or was it just me. Jake looked like he'd had a rocket to, I'll be honest I was a little disappointed in tedesco performance not because he was bad far from it. he was ( solid good ) but he has set the bar so high that when he plays just good, I assume he is having a shocker ( when he totally wasn't) . I'm wondering how we can include Kyle for his goal kicking whilst maintaining lam and his flair ? can Kyle come on for goal kicks only haha

[Team Evil]

Sunny Bill looked like a front row forward when I saw him on Fox tonight, I really am not sure who you drop if we get every one back.
Good back up though

[Team Evil]

Tupinouniua looked awesome, I hope we have him locked up long term, he really is turning into one of my fav players.

offence wise he is awesome, but his defensive positioning does need some work. not just when he is playing centre either, but I'm sure robbo is working on that and nrl experience and maturity . he is at the right club to realise his potential.

That's right the dog's game where Cranky Frankie played like a man possessed. I think Mortimer had a good game too.

Relax,Gus is paid to keep loser Merge, Souffs, Drongos, etc ,etc supporters from turning off the tv when he really knows they have no chance and has loaded up on the other team

Yep, I reckon he had dropped a few large on the dragons even before his alarm went off this morning.

Defence was was my concern last year but I think he is on the improve.
He has improved his game so much this year, much more consistent.

A nice headache to have. SST, Friend , SST, Cordner , Crichton, Liu, JWH are the starters then you choose from Maubs, Butcher , Collins ( a certainty) SBW, Touponua, Faamisili, Lam . Have I missed anyone? Radley next year.

[Tommy Smith]

Excellent. That's a big out for the Dragons and goes somewhat towards evening the ledger.

I'm still tipping a Roosters win. By 14 for zac.

The teams might be even on paper; but we leave them for dead in terms of effort, execution and heart.

So close! It was 14 with seconds to go

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Great effort by the whole team. i was really pleased to see Hutcho , Faarma and Fifita do well, and Bailey tried hard. These times are a real bonding period for the team, starters and back-ups. Must be great for those young guys to be part of a win which was full of character.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

As a club a win like that must give the whole joint so much confidence and power.

When you look at the players we have to come back into the fold.

[The Brain]

Only coach Robbo can win a game with Hutcho and Hall on the wings ..farken amazing effort .

[bondi paul]

Yes an amazing squad and coach. Interestingly the tabloid media fail to recognise it with any related stories this morning - it’s all about that Souffs coach.
