Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[Waylander]

Jazz 184m in 38 minutes. Immense.

Have another Bordeaux Trent

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

If that first half is what the team meant when they were talking about playing a "roosters style of football" than by all means I'm more than happy for them to play like that every week

28-4 bloody gutsy good result for the Chooks but it didnt come easy & the Chooks were gifted 3 sin binning's that were dubious.
People who think the Chooks dont get the rub of the green from the refs should have taken note tonight. When things go your way its good to watch.
I think JWH starting helped to get a grip on the game early & I thought Naiqama played good. Teddy played his role much better tonight he didnt over do it & neither did Rads the halves really ran the team tonight.
Keary was on song but I tell you Sammy got whacked plenty tonight & I would say he will have a couple of niggles after that game, he's a tough little Rooster.
The 2 quiet achievers Butcher & Momo they dont do anything extraordinary but they hardly ever miss a tackle.
Keary will probaly get the 3 points & Joey the 2 but I thought Sitilli was our best tonight, he might not please everyone with his defence but he is a weapon in attack.
We should be about 5th now on the ladder.

Sutton dosent get a free pass from the shit he's pulled over the years just because of those sin binnings.

One swallow dosent make a summer. Wait till we face a top four team it'll be business as usual.

He took away Keary's try and gave the Cows 1 (tried to give them 2). Sin-bins were all 100% valid and there shoulda been more.

[roosterchook]

Geez the ref gave us plenty of chances. I don’t think any of the 3 sin bins were warranted except maybe one but the other 2 were at most a penalty. But although we had an unfair advantage, we did hold onto the ball and complete sets and our defence was great. Manu MOTM followed by Toups but the team all played very well. Our attack seems to be forming well.

[Johnny Brass]

Much better ball control tonight and a much stronger defensive effort.
Rads got back to running hard and finished over taumololo.
Tours was outstanding on the wing and Teddy after an uncharacteristic poor one last week was back to his best.
Keary looks so much better digging into the line and Joey Manu is pure class and our best for mine.

[gragra]

Great team performance..even Daniel Fifita off the bench had some good strong carries...I thought he played stronger than Chrichton.....Gus isn't busting tackles nor offloading.....nowhere the form he should be capable of. Loved the after the match scenes and interviews in the dressing room ....lots of spirit on show!

The Chad Towsend hit was deliberate, lazy and he made pretty sweet contact with Collins chin. Not sure I understand the commentary around it being soft, he knew what he was doing and was emotionally charged up.

Todd Payten said we get preferential treatment from the refs as a club.

****ing delusional.

99% of people who talk with me about footy (they dont follow the Chokks) reckon the Chooks get favoritism from the refs, its only on here that see it differently.
Those sinbinnings were pathetic & if the shoe had been on the other foot this place would be in meltdown.

Say’s he’s noticed over the last few years watching footy!!

He obviously has been watching a different game to me as he fails to identify that the Roosters have been one of the most penalised teams over the past 10 years.

blokes delusional, clutching at straws.

Get some new mates.

No club had more sin bins than the Roosters last year.

You're really going to suggest "higher profile" players at a "higher profile club" like JWH or Radley would've survived those rulings because of their popularity... please.

[Rooster_6]

Soft binning

Shit opinion.

Then they aren't real students of the game, mates of mine that follow other clubs say we cop it off certain ref's as the stats will back up but in saying that I don't think the sin bins were warranted tonight.
