Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sharks

[Johnny Brass]

Not even Ben Dover Cummins could save the great whites from the shire , we're building and looking ominous, it's going to take an almighty footy team to beat us

[Johnny Brass]

Froze my butt off but it was worth it to see Aubo and the presentation.

[Johnny Tobin]

Happy to get the win despite Cummins’ best efforts

[Random Rooster]

When are the Morris boys getting signed up for next year? Hurry up!!!

[fletch]

We are in big trouble if we get Cummins in the finals against either the Panthers or Storm.

Great Presentation by the Roosters for Maubbs but also by Fox for showing it in full...

One thing though, what the fark was Vossy on about when Dugan went down and Voss implying that Kearys 2nd was clouded in controversy because the ref didn’t stop play? Dugan was nowhere near the play and the ref shouldn’t be obligated to have to stop it unless it is a very serious situation. They do this in soccer and more often it’s players feigning injury to stop the opposition from attacking. In the end, Dugan wasn’t seriously injured and stopping the play would have prevented us from scoring.

LOOOOL John Morris...

'Very disappointed that Keary scored, they shoulda stopped play because Duges was down. Instead, they called play-on and he scored in the carner where Duges woulda been'.

Now he's using the rest of the conference to whinge about how 'unfair' it was because they were 'coming back into the game'. Mate, I saw a different game. You weren't smashing us at that point and play doesn't stop just because a guy has gone down in back play during a set. You can't just drop down and expect the ball runner to stop running...

Did he coach the tactic of going down when you fark up or something?

Chooks need to improve not too many 80 minutes performance so far this year- They seem to drift in and out of games at times so will need to address that and attack and defence- kicking game needs to be better too - Robbo would be happy a top 4 spot has been cemented but will know improvement is needed- Interesting what will happen next week and going forward with rested players back on who misses out on the 17?

Manu is a future 6 over a 1 imho

I dunno. The weight of possession we endured in the second half was intense. Then any opportunity we had in attack we capitalised on.

gotta say after tonight, I would totally lick Yvonne Sampsons ...oh huh never mind

[ccfc bondi]

Wait was it 10 set restarts to 1??? Wtf

At least!

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Anyone watching on fox...

How good is this post game...

Got that Grand Final celebration feel to it.

Preview of what's to come Ladies n Gents

Yes, totally agree.

Our club handled the guard of honour and post match presentation beautifully - plenty of class once again.

[Kingbilly]

Its a joke those saying the game should have been stopped.
A serial hypochondriac goes down with a non serious injury and the play moves quickly away.

Its an excuse for crap defence and unwillingness to accept responsibility

He should ask that question to his trainer because the ref will only stop play for a defensive player when there is a clear head injury or the trainer asks the referee or touchie to stop play.

Morris is a crybaby and should learn the rules
