Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[Ray Stehr]

Liu played prop and Butcher was lock, that was the way Robbo went it wasn't Butcher replacing Collins at prop.

Liu is not much bigger than Butcher.

I wish Isaac would look to pass the ball occasionally. He also seems to have lost some of his go forward. It just seemed particularly noticeable to me tonight.

[BUDDY]

Robbo might be the messiah but tonight he was a very naughty boy.

So Coggy you think if Collins started and Flanno was in the team we would have won tonight or we would have gotten closer?

No, I think if JWH and Flannigan played we may have won.

You are making a massive assumption that JWH is 100% fit and bagging the coach for not playing him when not ready when we have bigger fish to fry and this was not an important game in the bigger scheme of things.

I also doubt that JWH and Flanno would have made a difference to our poor competitions.

I was told by a well known journo that JWH was good to go tonight.

[Ray Stehr]

Our record with JWH playing is a 74% win ratio, without him it sinks to 40%.

[Ray Stehr]

I'd say a game where your hanging on to 4th is a pretty crucial game to win but now with Keary out we are in a spot of bother.

[BUDDY]

I was told by a well known journo that JWH was good to go tonight.

Well it must be true then.

JWH would not have saved us tonight like he didn't save us when we played them last time and our completions were as bad as tonight. Not sure what Flanno would have done. Lam was off early so how can you make that comparison.

We can't win every game and this was the most likely game we were going to lose considering all the players out. Canberra still have to win 2 more games than us to overtake us. Their game is the crucial game.

[Waylander]

Well that will strike fear in opposition defences.

It should. Some of Jake's passes are bound to take a few of them out.
