Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[chopstiks]

Game on indeed Thirteen. Can't wait ! ! !

[Waylander]

An opening 20 by SST & JWH like 2018-2019 GF shall establish our victory.

This is why I wanted Gus to start on the right edge. He could hit Kikau like a sledge hammer a few times early. I reckon we need to muscle up big time and tear into them physically from the opening whistle, and if we do, we can set up a platform to go on with the game.

I'm nervous as hell about tonight though.

Go EASTS !!

This is a game when you really miss Radley our ruck speed and defensive intensity just hasn't been the same since he got injured.

We have to contain Kikau and Koroisau if we are going to win tonight.

What....and leave Kleary to roam free?

Build the wall boys. Build the bloody wall!

[Original Stumpy]

Yeah. Handling Korisau for the full 80 is key for us.

Donald and Melania Trump have tested positive to Covid-19.
A valuable lesson for us all...wear a mask, social distance at games and in society in general.
The pandemic is not over...the virus is still around.
No one is Covidproof.
Nice Roosters masks are available.

Nothing a bit of disinfectant can't fix.

Well, the Roosters have confused the pundits with that disgraceful performance last week which has led to a general consensus amongst said pundits that the pennies will win tonight. Like many of you, I'm rather nervous about this game and am holding on to the thought that last week's horror show was somewhat a result of having an eye on tonight's game.

Lessssss goooooo choooooks

[rozza]

Feeling quietly confident about our chances tonight all i can say is good luck to Robbo and the boys and one more thing.
Turn those so called mountain men into traumatised little pussycats!
Easts To Win!

I feel we need to put Penrith off their game and put pressure on them, not many teams have been able to do that this year, in fact it's been the other way around where they have held teams scoreless in the first 20.

Agree, and the way to do this is by applying constant pressure to their back 3 who are susceptible under the high ball. Bombs away!

We've got a definite height advantage and have to get in good field position to be able to place our bombs on their wingers heads.
Joey Manu and Brett Morris are class acts on our right edge and we need to give them early ball I'm sure they can make inroads and cause Crichton and Mansour some headaches.

[King Salvo]

defence the key tonight - need to frustrate them into errors - hit them hard and often - tedesco needs to pick his moments as been trying to do too much attack wise

[Darkone]

May the Bondi Wall reign over all pretenders
