Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Parramatta

[RoosterFanNZ]

how are the commentators praising the eels ahahahhahahaha

[elo]

Are you joking? Attack is half the game. You aren’t exempt from running the ball just cause you tackle.

Butcher has been our best tonight. Tackled amazingly all night.

Butcher barely plays 40 mins a week, he should not be the one doing hitups 60 mins into the game 55 tackles deep, hence the dropped ball out of pure exhaustion.

[Rooster1908]

To many injuries , crap ref , great effort boys

[Thirteen]

Great effort. No other team could have done so well tonight with that many injuries. Making us proud.

Rubbish! They need to share the workload. If he happens to make more tackles than anyone else than so be it. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to do his hit ups.

[The Corner Post]

Parra halves are second rate. Moses reminds me of Pearce.

[Lydon]

Massive effort from the boys

[bondi paul]

What a shithole Bankwest is.

[The Corner Post]

They will use any interpretation to manipulate our games. Notice we didn't get a 6 again until we were behind on the scoreboard

Until we had been worn down with defence

i agree, he was out on his feet but he kept on going.

every one should be proud of the incredible effort. ref and injuries went against us.

hope radley doesnt miss next week

[Nigel Gaffey]

Shoutout to the entire team. That’s the bravest performance I have ever witnessed from our club.

and Marschke played injured that entire second half. Well done lads, a loss that feels like a win. Strange couple of weeks. Last week felt like a loss

[FREEMAN89]

Fox talking up the Galant roosters more than the victorious eels.

Hold ya heads high, that was amazing.

Shame we don't get the 2 points to reflect the effort, but that was worth more as a Team culturally.

[Crab]

47 sets eels to our 30 . Proud of the boys but we were raped out there tonight by the officials, robbed is not strong enough a word

[roosterchook]

Eels are are crap side playing a c grade roosters with a corrupt ref. Heaps of 6 agains and penalties for eels as usual. With 65% possession eels were absolute crap. No way eels will make the GF. It will be a Penrith or Storm trophy.

[mattyh]

all commentators pretty complimentary towards us.

that would be almost as good as a win if had full troops returning, alas that is not the case .

im super proud of how we played tonight . brave, courageous, resilient, use the adjective you want. a lot of opposition fans giving us credit.

we were the good guys tonight, for a change .
