Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[Bondicigar]

Playing soft invites injury. To suggest the roosters are tanking is laughable. The first 5 minutes led them to believe they where in for an easy night.

[Tommy Smith]

Every year we've won the comp under Robbo we've dropped a game just before the finals in awful fashion. And yet every year some fans still get menopausal as if it matters.

Relax. No doubt the 26pts is poor but we're just having a well timed down week before the real game begins.

[Teddy]

We get our first 6 again on tackle 1 30 seconds before halftime, knowing that’s not enough for 3 tackles thinks he’s funny what a dickhead.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I hate games like this where the defense doesn't show up

[Jarlicho]

Worst half of football this season & we dish it up now. This is pathetic.

[mattyh]

terrible ...wtf

[bondi.boy]

That's exactly how teams will beat us...kicks.

Our wingers must stay on their wings in defence...always.
I say it every week, but it doesn't seem to be drummed into our wingers' minds.

We look tired and worn out.
We look bamboozled by Souths attack.

We'll need to get some headgear, shoulder
pads, and energy before we play Kikau Inc next week.
Now he's rampaging thru the middle and doing try assists, as well as scoring tries himself.

Panthers will do what Souths have done tonite....play exactly the same.
Run onto the ball at pace, stack one side of the field.

[Tommy Smith]

That doesn't make any sense.
You probably actually like him which makes we worried

He's a Roosters player that gives his all every time he puts on the RWB.

So of course I like him.

[Crab]

I would love nothing more than to go to our third premiership in a row undefeated of all people .. but looking at it realistically, it will be a smashathon with injuries all around when we next play the purple prix . Makes sense for that to be in the last game and the game that matters . TIT

[IRoosterManI]

I dont buy the "we arnt taking this game serious" excuse...we are a championship team with a expectation of excellence, what we are seeing tonight isnt up to our standard and i hope Robbo is tearing them a new one at HT... even if we go on to lose this game I atleast want to see some fkn pride in our defence in the next 40... this better not get to 40.

[Roosters1908]

Listen to Gus, the Rooster hating idiot. He's having an orgasm over us tanking a dead rubber.

You should hear Voss and Innis over on Fox. Their giddy glee is a bit embarrassing.

[Easts to Win]

Bloody embarrassing. No excuses for that inept footy. And of all the teams to do it against.

[Bansai Pipeline]

We look knackered.

All the old heads in the team are out on their feet.

Missing Manu more than I thought.

[Grant Hedger]

We decided to dial back the intensity, rest key players and minimize injuries. And this is the result. Not sure second half will be different. Looks like Panthers - which is ok if we show up next week.

[Danish]

I think it’s quite obvious we were never interested in turning up tonight. Just playing to not get injuries.

disappointing to see us defend so poorly though. No excuses for how shit they’ve been no matter how little emphasis Robbo may or may not have put on winning this game.
