Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[Mickie Lane]

That loss tonight is not in the same league as last years loss. The Chooks have got a real battle on their hands after losing by 50. I’m not so confident they can win the comp now. Anything is possible but geez the Roosters have got a hard road ahead.

Ok so:

Souffs: 6 again 12th minute

6 again 15th

6 again 26th

Roosters: 6 again 39:30

HALF TIME

Souffs: 44th minute penalty

6 again 53rd minute

6 again 53rd minute (back to back)

Legit pen 58th minute (farmer high)

Legit pen 64th minute (farmer, saw a couple of high shots on us souffs unpenalized)

Roosters: 66th minute penalty

Souffs: 6 again 69th minute

6 again 75th minute

77th minute penalty

79th minute penalty

There's always something to play for , pride

pride before a fall. we'll be sweet.

[Kramer]

The most embarrassing moment in the history of the Roosters

No it's not the Eastern Suburbs team lost every game in 1965, nothing like that here.

[elo]

The stat says no team has ever won the comp after conceding 50 in a match ......guess we're still a chance after 60 then !

We went very close in 2010, conceded over 60 to the Dogs.....guess who our defensive coach was?

Might be time to break another record.

That might equate to 30 points, but we gave up 60. Disgraceful, never been so enbarrassed to be a Rooster

Mate don’t worry about trying to blame the refs the Roosters were schooled by a better team.

I think we'd be toast vs the Storm next week.

We need the Eels to win because I still think we can turn it around for next week.

One thing is for sure... we've absolutely no idea what to expect so finals week 1 will be a thrill to say the least.

[ROC181]

The usual trolls come in when we lose OR when we win the comp they come pretending to be fans.

[Tommy Smith]

Agreed. We have to own that disaster.

Still, the penalties against us the past two weeks stands at 26-6.

That's quite incredible.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I just hope that Parra can jag the win tomorrow. After the performance tonight its hard to see the boys mentally being able to fly to Brisbane and beat the drizzle.
IMO we have a better chance coming up against a Riff team in Sydney

[ChookMaster]

Some of the efforts on show tonight was... strange? Walker's second try everyone held off him not one bit of urgency shown it was like they just didnt want to be there? Wow, was not expecting us to get flogged and to get 60 put on us could of and should of been 72 points. I dont think we can do it this year,

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Whether we lost by 2 or 52 the result is the same. What happens next is what matters. The modern game is a funny game. You can lose to the second last team one week and flog a top 3 the next. Players rested, six agains galore, plenty of penalties, lack of intensity - all these things can change the outcome. Next week is another week.

I hope you are right GH, but geez I have my concerns now.

[stringaz]

Under the old rules its a 12-2 penalty count

[chopstiks]

That stat of conceding 50 in a game and not winning a comp is a worry

like the stat no team ever won a comp back to back ....
