Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Parramatta

[elo]

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.

You're making my point for me.....

It was dumb play, 15 errors....that 1 came just as we were getting on top, someone else should have been putting their hand up for that hit up.

It is what it is, another tough but dumb performance.....

[ism22]

Shyte end to the game. Our fault that we lost but the 'strip' call & the bunker's way of handling it with ~7:30 to go and us behind by 6 was BS.

As a spectator it was the wrong call and it sealed the game for the Eels with time on the clock rather than allowing it to play its course.

[zac]

great game. our execution sometimes wasn't the best but we showed a lot of spirit. no doubt brown should have got 10 in the bin.

[mattyh]

hasnt butcher coem of age the last few weeks. been immense .

close to motm inmotlosing tea. tonight.

keep it up nat.

[Gary Worthless]

Unpopular opinion, we play dumb. We turn up to a street fight and give the other bloke a piece of four by two. Are we then brave as we stay in the fight but eventually get the shit beaten out of us? Can we just once try playing brave and smart against a top team?

[mattyh]

in a losing team ....samsung wtf ...

[roosterchook]

It wasn’t a fair game. Eels should have had two players sin binned. When it’s us they sin bin us. Robbo needs to incur a fine and blast the corrupt ref and bunker for not enforcing the rules.

[roosterchook]

At full strength I believe we are the best in the comp. so many injuries and it took heaps of 6 agains, penalties and corrupt ref decisions to help them win.

ive always loved the butch, immense tonight

[HDTONE]

Sure we made a shitload of errors but we didn't lose to a better tem we lost to a better ref.

2 sin bins should have come but didn't. We have a bloke in hospital with a serious punctured lung with knees in the tackle. After half time we find out it's on report but we should have got that 18th man.

Our defense was very very good against a stack of 6 again calls with us getting what 1.....because Parra was so much more disciplined. Believe that and I got an Opera House to sell you.

Fcuk Parra they aint good enough to get to any GF if they had to struggle to beat a patched up team. Radley passes HIA and different story.

Shout out to Butcher and Angus. Angus just goes on and on man does he sweat blood for us. Also some good tackles on much bigger men from Sammy and Teddy well he's just Teddy. They gave that 100% against stacked odds.

[mattyh]

that is a laugh, parra doing a walk around the ground.

in no way should fans be proud of that team tonight.

imo that was a disgraceful performance from a so called contender playing a champion team with spirit, courage and balls.

parra are skilled, no doubt, maybe a bit like that late 90s rooster team . alas parra , moses is no freddie, no premiership on the horizon.

there was one winner tonight, i think gutho, moses, arthur , rcg, and fergo ...maybe celebrate tonight, but there is a sickly feeling in the put of their stomach, they came up against a weakened champ , and were nowhere near.

penrith and melb will lap them , let alone what we will do to them next year.

[Johnny Brass]

So very proud of the boys and sans the injuries I'm totally enjoying this year.
The progression of the young blokes has been great to watch.
We have had to face overwhelming odds and we just keep turning up.
JWH and Marshke were superb in the middle and Butcher on the edge was terrific in defence.
I read that Joey Manu copped a spray off Robbo recently and I reckon it was after the Melbourne loss because he's been really committed since that game.
The injury toll has become laughable it's so bad , I reckon uncle Nick ran over a Chinaman with corona.

[King Salvo]

Injuries a worry again

Hutch will be out 6 to 8 if broken ribs and punctured lung- not sure what Manu was doing - may have thought he was winded?

Walker ankle( High ankle sprain) - have to see when he cools down plus shoulder - in the sheds he was talkimg to one of the trainers - looked like he couldn't lift his arm past the horizontal

Ikuvalu - HIA and finger/hand injury - not sure if was a dislocation ?

Benny M - looked like a shoulder injury but battled on

SST on report - grade 1 and fine only if that

[Recky62]

Can anyone explain to me how the idiot match officials and those morons in the bunker missed the knees that sent hutcho to westmead ? ....fark moi I’m over these refs frightened to bin anybody cause it isn’t “fair”

We play as best we can,we don't drop the ball on purpose, we don't get calls of 6 again for no reason, we don't play dumb ,we play as best we can with the troops we have ,robo will be disappointed but we are all proud
