Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[Flipper Hands]

Panthers were lucky to beat the Drongos

Bonkos were much improved.

Tonight is going to be a tough, but interesting test. I just hope that Sammy can cope with and get past the 'attention' that he is inevitably going to receive. He needs a bodyguard or two. Rads is the obvious choice.

Come on boys, come out tonight and do our club and that wonderful and famous jersey proud. Please don't play like you did in that first half against Souffs. We are the mighty Roosters, and it is time to stand up and be truly counted.

My head says the Storm, but my heart says the Chooks.

Let's go. Fire up you mighty Roosters for tonight, fire up!

[Flipper Hands]

Our wins have been against bottom 8 sides. No need to sugar coat it.

Could it be they are bottom 8 because we beat them?

Not bent like some eh!
My gut feeling is this....we have been shit house most of the year but have an abundance of talent that can score points ..hence our standing on the table .
this will be lets say 3rd week the newbies gelling with the side ....
They have declared they are going after Walker..good luck to them..The Inflictor now has his match fitness up ..look for a big game from him...get the body bags ready..
Then there is my main man JWH ...say no more he will take of Melbourne's Coke snorters .

I reckon our newbies could be part of our success. Just an opinion, but last week I reckon the unknown about Walker meant the Sharks couldn't prepare for what he had to offer in the final 20 mins.

We know he's got that pass now (a bit like how RTS had a left foot step that burned everybody, no matter how many times analysts highlighted how deadly it was). However, very little more is known about his playing style other than that he's an absolute gun who will be growing every week.

Sometimes he'll have an off week and that's just part of it. However, I reckon that (Particularly with Collins, Radley and Keighran all available for the first time this year), we have a great chance!

Solomona, Beomwich, Kaufusi and Smith/Grant are great. However, we're above them on the ladder (despite losing Cords & Friend) for a fukking reason. If we win, the Drizz could be spanked right outta the 8. Fark all the hype!

No Flipper. Bottom 8 sides because they are not in the top 8 sides in this competition. Manly, Warriors, Sharks and Tigers will more then likely finish outside the top 8 this season.

We have beaten rubbish sides only this year. It’s not a criticism of our side. It’s a fact. You can only play who’s in front of you. Don’t be in denial mate.

If I were betting on the game...I'd be betting on the Storm at home (happy to lose my money if the Roosters won.)

Pensioners shouldn't gamble.

We are above them on the ladder cause we have played bottom 8 sides. They have played top sides Penrith, Souths and a decent Parra side. You can’t take the ladder too seriously until every side has played each other once.

So a little money will compensate you for a Roosters loss?? You must really like your money.

lol

Pensioners should gamble, like anyone else, if they wish to...and can do so responsibly
Me, myself, I...would not be betting much. :-)

[Recky62]

Here’s to the boys doing us proud BUT Im highly worried that chookies will go to a league game and a mma contest will break out ...those grapple happy maggots are sure to stretch Sammy if they get a chance , hope the ref does something about it if it happens #NotCrossingMyFingers

The Roosters are rank outsiders tonight at $3.35. When was the last time we were that price?
