Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[chopstiks]

Radley and JWH targeted again by the officials.

Even the grubbitohs blokes i work with say it !

[Rocky Rhodes]

Warriors 8-6 at halftime, ain't that the same as the 2002 GF halftime score?

All we need now is somebody to put a flying headbutt on Freddy..hehe

[Johnny73]

This referee, Comrade Adamaski, is the drizzling shits. Is Maxwell hiring from the Great Moscow Circus now?

Put Hollywood Harrigan back in charge, he had some frigging idea about refereeing.

[The Lip]

The elephant in the room this year is Tedesco's form. Is he playing wounded? A shadow of his old self.

Yeah he's been poor - just hit holes again Teddy - go back to first principles. Stop this stop start, pirouette, jink get tackles shit

[easts4eva]

Blocker Roach probably the most impartial TV commentator I’ve heard this year.

Just thinking that, say what you want about Block, but he doesn't hate on us like the clowns on 9.

[The Brain]

Hey ref their markers have not been square once ..warned 6 times but no penalties...slowing us up this way.
both radley and jwh git nothing to worry about.

[roosterchook]

Warriors keep running behind their players yet we get no penalties. Oh that’s right I forgot. The roosters don’t get penalties. We have no spark in attack and with no possession another loss is on the cards. We just haven’t got our act together.

[Arties Pie]

What a soft first half, it seems to be becoming a trend. Far too many errors, Sitilli would have to be the worst defender I have ever seen in first grade.
We look so slow and disjointed in attack, Let's hope we have a better second half.

[The Lip]

Haha the screen at the game just asked us to vote for bets roosters player of the game so far

Manu
Walker
Teddy
Radley

are they having a laugh?

He's solid but no Trbo / Pap right now IMO (on form).

Right now it feels like Toops / Manu / Suaalii are bashing their way down the middle while Teddy crabs across field, hoping to find a gratuitous linebreak.

It's as though the physical effort's there but we're lacking patience, field position and creativity.

I know it isn't a substitute for a decent gameplan but I feel like we're missing 1 or 2 big moments from Teddy/Keary/Walker.
