2012 - Round 1: South Sydney Rabbitohs v Sydney Roosters @ ANZ Stadium (Match thread)

[elo]

Looks like we've lost the NYC, that's an awful result when comparing lineups.

Carney/Mortimer/Mitchell all playing, I have a bad feeling about this game now, just don't know where the creativity is going to come from, no-one with constant off loading ability, no-one with speed/footwork, certainly going to have to rely on go forward/bombs/ball control.

Get used to it. This is a sign of things to come this year. All we have lost is Anasta. It really isn't going to make a huge diffrence.

Has anyone got the complete teams lists for both teams? or where I can see..

At work :-( will keep up online

You Beauty!

Much appreciated

yep we lost NYC 32-26 with Souths having a kick after the siren, thats a terrible result after being up 20-12 after 46 minutes, a few boys there that spent the entire off season with our NRL squad should hang their heads in shame on the back of that perfermance.

only positive was RTS most hitups/metres/tackle busts out of anyone in the match.

SKD/Moga will make a massive difference when they return, RTS also just had a massive game in his NYC debut tonight.

Daylight fcuking robbery in the 20s. These junior refs on their bloody ego trips really gives me the shits. We should have closed the game out if sam bernstrom knew how to draw and pass but after that it was so anti roosters it was disgusting! I really hope the trend doesn't continue in first grade otherwise i will jump the fence and strangle the bastards.

Yak, I noticed the penalty count went 7-2 to the bunnies after the first 20 minutes, nothing different to past years, how did RTS look live?, his stats certainly indicated a very good match.

Only 90 minutes to kick-off.

Wonder which team will turn up?
The A team or the B team.

Hopefully these blokes will turn up

Only when the stadiums of other teams are empty of Roosters fans will anything change.

I agree with that Fletch. I thought you were saying you were worried with what team is running out now Anasta is out. I have been worried ever since that team was named. We better match them up front, or we could be on the end of a hiding.

Two terrible decisions at the end of the game cost us any chance. And pretty much the game taking us back 15 and them 12 didn't help. They should have won though, execution let them down badly. RTS looked quality, always beat the first man with his step which is huge. Almost scored in the corner before our last try (Kane Evans 30 out solo effort). Went down the sideline with no room, stepped his winger then the covering centre but was claimed front on by the fullback 2m out.

I havnt read any posts so I dont know if this has been asked but who is the big number 20 that is warming up with the team?

[Guest]

**** Gordon Tallis is a farrkwit!

Saying JWH might be nithing but a cheap shit merchant.
This coming from the same bloke who likes to throw thousands of punches at blokes with their hands by their side.( Ben Ross and the pommy in that superleague challenge cup shit)
