Official Match Day Thread: Roosters V Sea Eagles

[TumutChook]

next year cant come soon enough.

halves arent doing anything, just shuffling the ball from victor to teddy

and the hutch kicks it too close to the in goal

Yes & no.
I'm happy to put some coin on that we don't close next year either.We are a mile behind the Storm/Panthers & Bunnies.
Bunnies come back a notch next year,but teams like Sharks/Tits/Bronx will be better & I honestly don't think we improve next year.I mean to add to this team we really only get Keary & Manu back as Collins will take a while,yet we lose JMoz,Liu & JWH is a year older.The kids improve obviously,but still plenty of holes & weak spots.
I mean it won't be this bad & we surely can't cop this injury run again,but I put us around that 4-6 mark.

[Yeception 7]

All things considered, a successful year. Looking forward to winning the comp next year

[Insider]

LADS, if we can get field position adn stop dropping the ball in the 2nd half we can win this.

Have faith.

Robbo is the kind of coach who could perform a miracle on the squad here.

Yeh perhaps he can make the blind ref see

[Crab]

I kind of want Souffs to win next week, and get smashed in the GF, so much more enjoyable

My heart says smash the **** outta Manly if ya can't win but my head says leave em fresh to eliminate souffs in another preliminary capitulation. Be a win for the ages if we win this . Cmon the Roosters !

The refs have had it against us for 2 decades. But they now have the BEST weapon - the 6 agains.

Nup, we did it to ourselves by missing tackles and dropping the ball.

Synthetic grass.

Or smoke it

[King Salvo]

Set Completions Chooks 14 from 18 -78 % - Possession 47% - 18 missed tackles - 5 errors - 2 -20 metre restarts conceded. - has set restarts as 3-2 Manly not sure that is correct

[roosterchook]

Two 6 agains then a nothing penalty, of course that would dampen anyone’s spirit. But not putting Walker on was a huge mistake by Robbo. With Walker on I think we only would have been a few points behind because our halves let us down badly and Robbo persists with trash players while benching match winners.

Nup, we did it to ourselves by missing tackles and dropping the ball.

The kick out on the full after the first try was unforgivable

[Rocky Rhodes]

As long as we put some respect on the scoreboard, then that's exceptable. Last 40 mins for JMoz and the Iceman in Rooster colours...they gonna be missed even though JMoz is passed it.

[Johnny Brass]

Sutton stuffed us early in the piece and our handling with schoolboy errors and poor kicking giving away 7 tackle sets have compounded to really hurt us.
Sitilli defence on the edge has really hurt us , not many good points for us.
Let's finish the 2nd stanza strongly.

[chopstiks]

I’d like to see Angus justify the big salary he is on. Supposedly looking for an upgrade. I’d be downgrading him.

The neighbours must be wondering who the hell is angus... since I've shouted where is he several times at the top of my lungs

[RoosterFanNZ]

our two second rowers have been horribly dissapointing

tupounuia didnt even try to get in to contact then. thats poor

[Tommy Smith]

Massively forward pass from Walker.

Still, more soft middle defence.

[Johnny Tobin]

Straight through the middle. So embarrassing. This will get very ugly. The Roosters of 20/21 can cop a big score.
