Official Match Day Thread: Roosters V Raiders

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Heard it on ABC news this morning.

I saw it on Fox, but I don't know when it was recorded, They played clips of both Robbo and Ricky commenting on their team. Robbo said something like, We pick our team , they pick theirs..... Ricky said basically that they don't BUY established players, they GROW them.

[Larry Long Balls]

Its a 50-50 game. I cant go because Im on call, I just hope no one dies from the public during the game so I dont get called out.
Go the Mighty Roosters.

When I was younger I used to talk to all of the funeral directors as I had the job of preparing death notices. Some interesting characters.

If there already dead they can wait until the games over , it isn't going to kill them...

[Vasco]

Their biggest threat, Wighton, prefers to attack on the left side. Our weakest side defensively this year has been our right side.

Flanagan is in for a rough night. Hope he is up to it.

[bondi.boy]

I see Sticky has come out saying that the Roosters just buy all their stars.

Time to learn the facts Ricky.

And thanks for giving the club extra motivation. Enjoy Mad Saturday.

Easts to win.

Ricky is a dunce.

How many English players in his team?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I just want us to have one more good dance this year, and send these pretenders packing. Dont care how or why but just do it.

I like our more relaxed happy demeanour at training, Robbos steely will and focus and the fact many are writing us off. It sets our scene nicely.

We need energy for 80 minutes. They won't handle that. Luke needs to take control and stamp himself on this game.

As Robbo would say...we are ready to show the 'Roosters way'. Lets attack this moment, and enjoy it.

[Johnny Brass]

In a perfect world maybe, and yes I agree it would be great to see. But way too many wankers on here who love bagging the team for it to happen. I understand it will be disappointing if we lose, but the way some carry on after a loss is absolutely disgusting. I mean seriously does anyone think there is any player on our team who doesn't give 100% ? Tonight I am confident that we can win, and win well but we will have to wait and find out.
Maybe the dream is over. Maybe they have been UP for too long and have just lost the desire. Maybe many of them are carrying injuries which prevent them performing to their best. But whatever happens, they have given us 3 years of pride and effort and glory.
Winning 3 in a row is a massive ask, especially losing Rads, Sammy and Billy so early in the season. It's been a great ride and i don't think it's over, but if it is, don't be so quick to want to rubbish your team, I am sure they are giving their best.

Agree , special team that's given us an incredible ride. I've been lucky enough to live through our team winning 2 different back to back era's.
This team and group of players has never backed down or given up and nor should us supporters. I despise fairweather fans.

[Vasco]

Manu needs to show why he is considered the best centre in the game. Defensively and in attack.

Those who criticise probably weren't around for the dark years so don't have true appreciation for these good times. I guess they can always jump off the bandwagon. And with the success we have had since Robbo, plenty have jumped on the bandwagon.

[keggs1]

Can't see us winning tonight unfortunately.

It would be a good opportunity to sit back and reflect on how awesome the last 3 seasons have been for us. Times of continued success and dominance are rare - just ask any Eels, Raiders, Sharks, Knights, Tigers, Warriors, Titans, Cowboys, Dragons, Panthers or Souths fan.

Fark Canberra they after this match they should round them up and their city cut them off the map and let them float off to Africa

I hope they worked on that during the week poor Manu and Bmoz have been starved of play and balls..Where is no 23 when you need him.

The worst are those that ONLY come out after a loss.

Agree. They have been on fire all year yet been very quiet with hardly any ball.
we have firepower all over the field. Let’s use it.

They are an inland city Brain......
