Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Rabbits

[RoosterFanNZ]

Why is that a knock on?

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

The gameplan for any team playing Easts is so simple. Complete your sets up the middle and wait for us to either give away a dumb penalty or make a stupid error. If that doesn't work just wait for the ref to provide a relieving penalty

[Rooster90]

Positives from tonight:

Almost the same score as last year this time and

At least there’s not 30x ACL injuries

[ARD]

Billy smith needs another 5-10kgs

Or 5-10 FG games on the wing

[roostermcgregor]

Souths just ran the ball through the middle of our ruck , at will.
4 tries, and a couple disallowed - they murdered us.
Their forwards are younger and play more aggressive than ours.
In the backline our threats only come from Joey, Toops, and Teddy (when he doesn't try too hard)
We are in for a difficult season - we're only making up the numbers,

[bondi.boy]

The Roosters are not on tonight. I haven't felt good about them since the game started. Another loss incoming I think.

Every game now is basically a trial for 2025.

Thrashed tonite...we need to get a new set of trialists for next week.
Teddy can sit out, Manu can play fullback.
Keighran can play right wing.
Or Keary can have a rest and Keighran can play 5/8.
Toups and Momo can play.
Radley can play right centre instead of Manu, Radley is too small for a lock so has to be in the backs somewhere...maybe right wing to tackle Johnston.
We need bigger forwards who can tackle, run onto short passes at pace and make metres and crash over for tries.

Our team tonite looked like it was past their bedtime and they couldn't wait to get home and put their heads on the pillow.

[HDTONE]

Is Victor playing?

Poor by his standard.
Agree our front except Collins and Taki just get out muscled.
We need mongrel.

[RoosterFanNZ]

We miss cordner and friend as on field leaders

the whole team seems so lost for directions

[stringaz]

A penalty with 4 seconds to go atkins your a joke

[easts4eva]

Our forwards are done, a spent force.No longer feared. The Newcastle game worried me and for good reason.

[Rooster1908]

Lucky to only be beat by 12 , JWH and Angus were poor .Rads was average .We really do need some mongrel .Well done Joey on what must have been a nervouse game

[elo]

Gifted Souths a 12 point start and never really earned our way back into the match even with the score remaining relatively close for 60 mins, neither side looks a premiership threat as of now.

[DP1990]

Of course we just had to f**king play the bastards back into form.

[RoosterFanNZ]

South’s found our vulnerability which will be expolioted for the rest of the season.

run down the middle and we fold.

pathetic lot of them

[RoosterFanNZ]

This loss has really got to me
