Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Titans

[Easts to Win]

You're not a Roosters fan if you don't feel proud after today's effort.

12 players missing, miraculous show of courage, talent and effort.

Always proud of the Tri colours mate, just so frustrating to watch them almost get run down after leading 30-4.

Also ikavalu one on one strip ruled penalty titans , quick tap using Sutton as a shepherd leads to a try , Ffs

do quick taps mean that teams are unable to use a captains challenge?

all these rules are just messy and negate each other

Personally, I thought Sam Walker's Tony Iro impersonation at the end of the game was a highlight. Iro's running backwards at the Adelaide Rams vs St George was the only highlight of that abortive venture.

Excellent point.

The only thing better than an Easts win is a Souths loss. Go knights !

They had to win the game 3 times- from the kick off /when the Titans came back /when the Titans hit the lead.

I wonder what the talk was behind the posts as the Tittan's came back and especially when they hit the lead - messages from the coaches box as well would be interesting to know what was passed on to the players

i was thinking jake in the 2018 gf. smart play

Disappointing collapse without Walker on and then Marschke sin bin. We are better than that. As soon as Sam came back on, our attack was better including a better 5th tackle option. Suaalii was excellent so other than Robbo looking after the young man, I don’t see what other reason he has to keep picking him as a reserve player. I’m was great too.

A moral victory. I watched the game purposely with no audio and I was totally bewildered by Cummins constant 6 agains. I’ve always looked forward to his retirement ever since the “ your off your head“ Anasta incident against the vermin. They broadcast reply foul play in the NRL games but not with Origin broadcasts. Vlandys is just a puppet for the NRL media partners. The socio demographic hang up and bias towards our club will always be a part of the game win or lose. It feeds the drongo readers and digital users of news limited, ch 9 and Fairfax.

Well all i can say is a win is a win but we'll have to improve when we play Penrith next week & finally Cummins can get stuffed he is a disgrace to refereeing!
Easts To Win!

I think having Pearce for so long, I got used to us not winning these type of games, Sammy has done it twice already, what a player!

[Ray Stehr]

I was there with my son and I'm sure there were more Roosters fans than Titan's fans which was nice to see.

[mattyh]

reminded me of that 2014 final vs the cowboys 31 30.

boys have tobebetter.

Every team has reserve graders. Its called a 30 man squad.

And our depth is incredible. 10 odd players out regularly and yet we're 9-4.

The Panthers have lost to the Tigers and Sharks missing only half a dozen.

I'd say our depth is quite amazing really.

lol....If u think our depth today was amazing then u seriously have blinkers permanently glued to the side of your head....or rose coloured specs that u can't be removed.

Who on our bench of Ben Marshke, Egan Butcher, DS Fifita and Ben Thomas would start at any of the best teams like the Panthers, Storm, eels and even Souths

Panthers had 8 top liners out.....take out our top 8 players and we would struggle to beat the dogs or bronco's.

We almost lost to a bottom 8 side yet again despite JHW, Joey Manu and co. playing blinders..lucky we didn't play a top team today as we would have been smashed.

Hey Rocky welcome to 2021, I'm assuming you just woke up out of a coma.

Hate to be the one who breaks this to you but we've had 8 top liners missing for majority of the season. Luckily though you're wrong.. we're 5th.
