Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[The Skeez]

Played like cats in the first half and got what we deserve.

blame lies squarely at robbo’s feet. His arrogance to not allow our squad to play at full strength for the last 6 rounds had our team looking like strangers in defence in the opening 40.

hopefully we can account for the raiders next week, or else the wankfest over their “redemption” will be unbearable

Mate, pull your head in. You’re living in New York.

I'm pretty happy with that ,we are taking the long way ,but comes another week

just remember Penrith scored some super LUCKY tries in that game.

in the end it was 5 tries each.

Penrith players carrying on like they've won the comp already.

We'll be hurting from that loss but proud as a group in the fight. Let's regroup, refocus and come out next week, play well and go into the prelim.

[Bruce 38-0]

What about Naden not knowing the rules. That’s gold.

[Nigel Gaffey]

Collins
Cordner
Absolute warriors tonight

[nayfo]

loved seeing Robbo show some emotion in that game.

Trust me, he'll have them primed for next week.

At the end of the day we played shit.

We found something in that final 25 JT, it's whether we can carry that over or not.....the defense was back driving the ball carrier - with Friendy we win that game, I'm really confused where we are at overall though.

[The Corner Post]

Yep, Nadens play the ball was a shocker.
also Martin lost the ball in their second try.

But really Flannigan / Satilli were pulled apart

Wished Cordner played that hard in the first half. But also understand why he might’ve lost his edge. Legend always for me

[RoosterFanNZ]

their try from the blatant knock on is what won it for them. onto next week lets hope we find some magic reserves of energy for 3 wins in a row

[Teddy]

We have the fight we have the will, we just don’t have the luck this year so far.

[nayfo]

Look at the positives.........

We get to watch the chooks play next week.

[MCMLXVI]

Hate the result, but well done NRL for hiring Alfred Hitchcock to produce such a nail-biter. The Penrith try, which resulted in a minor melee immediately after, well their 5/8th that batted it back was clearly offside in relation to the kicker. Glad to see that many here have realised that having Flanagan at half-back is nothing more than a display of the nepotism/cronyism that runs through almost everything that produces a fat dash of cash, including NRL contracts.

[Blue Suede Schubert]

We win that with neutral refereeing.

NRL definitely doesn't stand for Neutral Refereeing League.

[Johnny Tobin]

Why didn't we challenge that dropped ball by Naden in the play the ball?
