Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Titans

[TheLoneRooster]

Yep but it was the tits player on the right who bombed it as well.

Thinking about it, we didn’t win that game, the Tits lost it.

That's how I see it as well. The titans clutched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Rads best on field for me. Imagine if Walker played the 80

[Roostermania]

The Roosters should consider themselves very lucky. After an average performance, they should have lost that game.

Indeed, we made too many mistakes tonight and I think we also need to start with Walker....Unfortunately Lam provides limited creativity.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Smashed them!!!....never in doubt

Penrith & the storm are shaking in their boots at the prospect of playing us...hehe

[King Salvo]

Plenty to work on for the Manly game - those decoy runners and shepherds cost a couple of tries plus completions rates - 23 from 36 (64%) - 41 missed tackles and 13 errors - I thought from the start this would be no pushover as Titans had nothing to lose tonight.

Chooks although never headed had to win that game a few times - Still they did and move onto week 2

Here is the tackle SST got injured in

Thank you fletch, I completely missed it and was wondering when SST disappeared.

a nervous game from us and a good one to get under the belt. we've done well to get into the second week of the finals and we can play without pressure next week

[chopstiks]

If we play like that next week people will be saying Turbo is the best in the game again.

Its going to be pretty unbearable as it is. Media folk so very reluctantly admit tedescos the better fullback with umpteen caveats

[Rooster_6]

Victor Radley plays every game like he only has to play one per season.

Absolutely love him. The way he launched into that Lisone tackle was ridiculous and it was a huge play, that was off a very quick play the ball for the Titans and he shut it down.

[Spirit of 66]

The stats tonight were UGLY:

Missed tackles - 45 to 19
Completion rate - 63%
Tackle breaks - 19 to 44
Post contact metres - 456 to 560
Metres - 1580 to 1712

We had no right to win that game.

[chopstiks]

The other stuff of nightmares tonight along with that terrifying line break sequence is that keighran toops bomb catch

Wtf !

[Easts to Win]

I’m speechless . Tonight was our GF. Bourbon time lads !

[Roostermania]

Yes. The Roosters are simply not in the same league this year, understandably. Hopefully they can fix up the missed tackles issue before next week otherwise Tommy Trbo will make a mess of them.

That is a scary thought. We definitely need to lift our game against Manly. I understand it is a great achievement for our team to be in finals after so many injuries this year however we really need to eliminate these silly errors and at least make next week's game competitive!!

[roosterchook]

It’s finals footy. I think we did well considering our injuries and that we are fielding a C grade team. We helped the Titans score half their points. It was an ugly win but we did win on our merits. Walker with that saving tackle and his fg was masterclass stuff.

[Easts to Win]

Getting into the 2nd week of the semis with all the players we have out is a tremendous effort. This season is above a pass mark now.
