Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[roostersrule2]

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

Think we used on that charge down, most costly challenge of the year

Him grabbing the ball off the kick off, dumbest player of the year what a dumb ****

I think we’ll destroy who ever we play next week, we have our confidence back at least, then prelims vs most likely Melbourne.

We’ll win this, but I think we need Lam to unlock Keary

[Grant Hedger]

Sutton man of the match for Panthers. Honestly he could have been less obvious

[Stewie Griffin]

All you blokes are on the weed.

Let's fill the SCG full of Roosters fans next week to help get the boys home...

[mattyh]

observations ....

at times we looked tonighttonight old and busted football team still good, but I couldn't help but get that feeling that maybe hunger and injuries are a killer this year.

Panthers are a good team , but gee they were a bit lucky in the end there,

Bondi wall needs a bit of rebuilding in the off-season, I've suspected as much all year, but we have holes all over the park at times.

keary can't do it all himself, Kyle was ok tonight, but he needs to develop into a more threatening half asap .

we miss rads a lot.

we need more yardage with our kicks.

honestly this won't be our year, but I'm thinking there may be another premiership just around the corner.

Luai is a dirty grub

[Joel123e]

We need friend. We need SBW, just someone who can pull something out of the hat.
After the last 30 minutes hopefully we can carry that on to next week.
but now we have to play Raiders then storm. Not good.

Well let's hope for a sharks & eels meet.
unlikely but fingers crossed!

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Going to be an extremely difficult road to the gf if we get there. If we win next we vs probably the raiders than it's probably up to Brisbane for a prem vs the drizzle.

Heart say the 3peat is still. Head says that is going to take alot of guts to pull it off

[Roosters1908]

We’re not written off yet. That second half convinced me we’ve got what it takes to get the three-peat.

[King Salvo]

1 Point loss they will rue for sure and certain - went missing for a period and the riff put on 28 unanswered points - they came back and gees if morris gets the ball back in side to keary near the end what could have been - Going to be hard to get them back up for next weeks game - JWH will be missing any charge even a grade 1 he will miss next weeks game- dont know about injuries - mmm flanno's missed goal - can't say that lost the game as the middle part of the game was when it was lost in the wash up - 28 points too many - Friend is back next week and maybe SBW so if they have the desire it isn't over

[Johnny Brass]

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

Soft as a Danish pastry

[Stewie Griffin]

This was a crucial result. We win this we probably get the 3peat. Robbo knows this and I've never seen such passion from him in the box.

Its going to take a supreme effort now.

Panthers in the box seat.

[Teddy]

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

But really Flannigan / Satilli were pulled apart

Some Sonny Bill magic would have been enough to win that tonight anyway both he and Jake back next week Flanno? I do t know what we do with him he can kick goals better then anyone by a mile at our club but tonight was terrible from him Lam in?

[King Salvo]

That easy goal flanagan missed was crucial.
zJake Friend is crucial.
At least Freddy stuck up for us when Chrighton was disallowed..he scored

the 28 unanswered points was where the game was lost not a missed goal one has to say.

[Johnny Brass]

What was the penalty and 6 again count?
