Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sea Eagles

[roostermcgregor]

Sam Walker made DCE look second rate.

[Team Evil]

Great first half and soo happy for the win.

Now I know this is a touchy subject but what am I missing with Billy Smith? I know the poor bugger has had an absolutely horrendous run of injuries but I don’t know what I can’t see in him.

Help me understand!

Just my take on things but, from the limited games we have seen he does have potential. We have also stood by him through all the injuries so he should be very cheap.
Lets see what happens when Suaalii comes back.
The Manu on the wing thing I'm not sure of, I think Trent is giving him a roving commission and his view is, he can best do this from the Wing.
It is all very interesting and at least we have options, which is a far cry from last year.

It was interesting to see Momo in the centres and Billy shift to the right. Would that mean Suaalii comes in for Billy, cause Billy isnt a winger IMO. Has potential in attack, but I personally would like to see more of Suaalii

Looking forward to see what Robbo does.

Robbo didn’t seem to enjoy that scrappy Hail Mary try at the end. They showed him blowing up in the box after it. I assume he was just really annoyed that we conceded another try so late in the game.

It was luck, a supposed world class half in DCE couldn’t manufacture one in 80 mins, Tommy was completely shut down, it was left to a winger to throw the dice, of course Robbo wasn’t happy about it, every Roosters supporter won’t be happy about it.

It was just a desperate play that worked out for them like I said a nothing issue our defence was superb against a more fancied opponent at almost full strength I think the only notable injury is Josh Shuster.

It was great to watch.

[Thirteen]

Tauks easily our best forward in the 2 games played this year.
And he is leaving us after season's end.
Fark Me.

Don’t worry I’m sure we have a contingency plan.

Anyone get a decent look at the Radley high tackle? I saw it live on tv and the angle wasn’t great. I’d hate him to miss the Souths game.

[Bondicigar]

Robbos patience with Sitili is starting to pay off big time. He is going to have a massive year I feel

I feel he is a flat track bully. Goes great when the team is going great but struggles when we are behind. Maybe I’m just use to watching Boyd who performed no matter what the score line.

to be fair he hasnt been great the last 2 games. i was looking forward to seeing him get on the field but he has been poor. i think we stick with him, cause i have seen him do some amazing things , robbo knows what hes doung.

Hutch starting at hooker is not very appealing

but I’ve learnt not to question Robbo

My man Hutch struck again.
Hutch is the man!

I just watched the replay.
Foran had the ball, was running to the left.
Radley came across from behind him...ran at him, Radley's right arm making contact with Foran's right shoulder at the back.
Radley's momentum caused Foran to fall forward, he hit the ground with Radley sitting on top of him.

Why didn't we see the tackle from the other way, from the front of Foran...on one of Fox's *7658* cameras?
Point of contact was with the back of Foran's shoulder.
If that's a high tackle charge it's now a game for sissies.

The angle on Fox was very unclear.

I agree we stick with him. In those few games he played last year he was every impressive. Was aggressive in attack and defence.

I can’t believe you like someone!

Well done Mate.
