Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[King Salvo]

The 13 players on the field own that performance not just one or 2.

One from Left field - does anyone get the feeling the Chooks may think - we can beat these top teams so lets just get through the game uninjured and concentrate on winning games we can ?

[Ray Stehr]

Gotta love Brandy....he goes 'The Roosters are missing some players but so to are the Storm'. He then names two players that they're missing.....poor guys, don't know how they have managed to keep going

Butcher is another unavailable.

I wonder if the reirement of Boyd and now the transfer of Isaac to the titans has led to a loss of heart and soul by the players.In the past 2 outings have lost that effort in their game....except for Toops!

Just goes to show, we need to hit the market. We won’t see the best of Baker, E.Butcher, Fafita for a few years. We need to bring in some new players.

I don't think there's much left on the market for next year tbh - I think our front row rotation needs help.

Year after though could look at players like:

Saifiti
Paulo
Welch

Be a nice way to stiffen up our middle with a couple of those. Also conscious that JWH is coming to the end.

this side wont play finals football they wont make the 8 look forward to next year this ones done playing for pride now if this lot has any we will see at full time

[Fairfax]

This feels like one of the trials when you run your reserve graders.

[stringaz]

Offside penalty only called after the dropped ball. I won't be kicking our blokes in the guts after this game. Lambs to the slaughter

[Tommy Smith]

We are hands down the only side in the competition that'd get penalised for offside when down 30 nil.

[Mickie Lane]

Melbourne are one tough team that just always turn up & you need your top 17 when you play them if you are to be any chance.

[Yeception 7]

What left is there to say

[Lydon]

This is embarrassing from our senior players..Seriously Jared

[Fairfax]

Strip... are you kidding me?

[Redacted]

What was JWH doing? May not have seen Tedesco, but there's no one at the stadium, so he would've heard him?

[Yeception 7]

Love the ref not even going to video ref for that

[Tommy Smith]

Lmao a healthy dose of DUMB and SOFT.
