Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sea Eagles

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Did you see JWH saying a few words to Vic after knocking on....what was he saying I wonder?

Not sure if the pass was an issue unless Jaydub thought he was running a decoy. Always need to expect the pill. Think he just took the eyes off it.

That bloke went looking for Walker every time he ran.

And they all will every game unfortunately. The more tackles he has to make 1:1 the bigger the impact on his attack in the game.

[Fourteen]

Good win! Played so well in the first half.

He was telling Victor to not tackle anyone above the waist. Didn’t want Victor to get suspended. Need Vic to take out Latrell next week.

No charge for Victor

The whole reporting thing was a joke.
He hit Foran on the back of the shoulder then ended up sitting on top of him.

[bondi.boy]

Is it 100% definite that he is leaving? I don’t recall him signing with anyone else yet.

Rejected Dolphins and signed with Catalans, by all media reports.

There's trouble in paradise with
Taumalolo...reportedly.
Clubs are lining up to pounce.

Is he big enough to play for The Roosters?

Tigers will offer him $2m a season.

[Vasco]

No but it’s been an ongoing rumour. Supposedly he rejected the Dolphins offer because he’s going overseas.

I don’t know what happened to Taukeiaho whether it was injury or just a bit of a form slump but he was up there with as a top 5 prop in the game only 12 months ago. Looks like last season was just a blip and he’s back at that level already, was outstanding tonight.

I think he was carrying a niggling knee injury. Soldiered on due to 78 other players being out for the season.

If he stays healthy he'll have a big season.

bondi boy would jizz his pants if we signed him....hes BIG

[Chookies74]

Yep agree.
I was just wondering if I missed something because Robbo was blowing up - very un-Robbo like. He slammed the desk and was yelling into the walkie talkie after the try.

I'd say he was pissed with the 2 missed tackles that let the opportunity occur.

Just big enough.

That is not good for the mental and heart health of a man of his age.

Slamming the desk and yelling into the walkie talkie?
Oh dear...that is very bellyache and madge like.
Hope he won't be slamming doors and kicking chairs around next.

Disappointment is best handled in a cool, calm, and rational manner.

[Big Dog]

I think it's all just the bollocks rumours that he's an anti-vaxxer and clashed with us. Fact is he played, so this was all bollocks.

Would say he's top-shelf material but is behind Collins and JWH in the pecking order so will probably be looking around for a more suitable contract. BUT... Collo's been a bit poor the past couple of games IMO. Sure he's coming back from an ACL but he's gonna have to play himself into form some time or another if he wants to remain ahead of Tauks. Assuming he is (with Tauks being our 'special team' style forward who can do 2 games worth of metres in 50 minutes... in my mind that makes him a keeper!!!!)

I wasn't impressed by Jarrod's performance on Friday. He looked to be struggling with the pace of the game. I wonder how many games he has left in him.

He’ll be fine, he’s always been a slow starter. I remember plenty writing him off this time last year, give him the first month to warm back into it.

Exactly. Jarred always gets better as the season goes on. Traditionally a slow starter. He was brilliant last season and he’ll get there again in a few weeks.
