Official ANZAC Day Match Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

What a strange player hutch is

Lol He's an enigma. If he can get the silly errors out of his game, he offers plenty. Was pretty good today.

[MCMLXVI]

Offers a lot less than SKD.

So far indeed, but he is of a similar type. Every time that he gets the ball I have conflicting emotions. He is progressively getting better, in very small increments though .

[Rooster1908]

whens lam back?

even though hes not great, surely hes better than drew

.
Not sure what you want from him . He was solid in defense and attack. Thought he was very good myself

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Offers a lot less than SKD.

Can't help yourself can you?? Gotta bag someone even after a great effort. Go roll yourself in some glitter.

[roostersrule2]

We have the most talent in the game

we win the comp ****s

[bondi paul]

A game I always like to attend. The Roosters carried on with their enthusiasm from last week. Manu ,Walker and Geronimo the best for us.

Offers a lot less than SKD.

Liked SKD even with his obvious faults and also think Hutch will and is turning into a very good player . but you probably didn't rate Lindsay either

Great day out at the footy. Lovely service pre game and a big respectful crowd. Felt a bit more like the good old days. Although the sun hitting us patrons on the eastern side of the ground in the first half was savage.

Enjoyed watching some of our less heralded guys grab some limelight. Our best shove of the year in terms of confidence and attacking enterprise. Sammy V helps bigtime in that area. Joey finally got to play his preferred position and dug in accordingly.

Thought young Sam W and Gus were standouts but looking forward to watching a replay.

Could this game have been a turning point for us?

It was one of those rare games where I don't think we had a bad player. Every player rated at least a 7.5 imo.

Last week against the Storm we had some who probably had 5.5 or 6 rating.

Awesome day at the footy. Top 5 Anzac Day games for me, and I’ve been to plenty.

[Johnny Brass]

Fantastic atmosphere and a great Anzac Day service pre game. The national anthem was sung with plenty of gusto which isn't always the way.
Thought we struggled early on and the dragons forwards were definitely on top in the opening exchanges.
JWH once again charged into his work and put us on the front foot, I'm loving what he's bringing off the bench.
The sin binning of their winger certainly played a big part as we had acres of space down their left edge and Walker capitalised once again showing his class.
Radley showed his value once again and is basically our main playmaker with the absence of Keary.
Loved the work of verrils out of dummy half he puts our forwards over the advantage line with his service.
Manu showed his class and killed it from the fullback position.
Great day for the roosters.

[rozza]

That was one of the best days out at the footy in my time
Just arriving at the ground today had that extra feeling to it the pre-match was just brilliant to watch and the crowd was very respectful

Shaky start but got better as the match went on Walker was brilliant today looking forward to watching the game on replay
Overall a great day & a magnificent result
Easts To Win!

Lovely day and looked awesome down there at the SCG. I'm going to go off early and say the hype is real about walker.

Nervy start, but the kids got it between the ears by the bucketload.

He's a little fearless too which will help his career being of smaller stature.

Hutchinson lol. You can actually see his game improve slightly each week just by playing with us. If not for those two clangers he definitely had a solid to good game.

Klein with the hand from God penalty. Mate, you actually went alright today but that was disgraceful. You can't help yourself.

But seeing Verills out there today was golden, along with the ceremony down there for our diggers.

SKD is high up on the list of all-time scorers and is a roosters legend. I said Hutch doesn’t offer as much as him. Not bagging him. It’s a fact.

Sorry that made your snowflake melt.

[Johnny Tobin]

Liked SKD even with his obvious faults and also think Hutch will and is turning into a very good player . but you probably didn't rate Lindsay either

He’s not turning into a very good player. He’s an average player doing his best. Hats off to him for that.
