Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Bulldogs

[Rooster1908]

How many points would we need to win by to make a statement? It’s the Bulldogs.

Sad this but they are probably saying the same thing .

New game in town seems to have moved to the SG Ball GF...penalty a thon and 6 again a thon to the rif, plus a bad decision that saw them get the ball and then score a try.

Stand by to be on the end of the new game in town tonite v the Dogs.

Only way Roosters can thwart the new game in town is by "knock em down, drag em out footy" (legally of course).
Gang tackling..."bash em, smash em, trash em).

Never been so nervous playing a team coming last

If we lose this one I'm doing a JT and running up the white flag.

Yeah that game was wild. We really didn't help ourselves with constantly turning over the ball in the last 10 or so minutes though.

PS - wonder how old mate Flanno will go?

$50 we get some 'Penners claiming we shoulda kept him coz Keary's not a 7... and Walker wearing a 7 would fix all our problems.

If only our halves were Hastings and Flanno, ay bruh! :P

It would you know, Keary 6, Walker 7.
It's what should happen.

That was really disappointing that second half - I look back on the Try called back for a forward pass they should have nailed that and a missed conversion - could have been 28-0 at half time - still a 20 point lead should have been defended.

One loss all season happened to be the Grand Final for SG Ball - congratulations on their season and congratulations to the Tarsha Gale Cup side who saved the day by earlier winning their premiership with a 12-10 win over the Newcastle Knights.

The Roosters Men have to do better as the Roosters Women are carrying the Club so far with their two premierships plus winning the NSW Women Country Championships

IMO the Dragons' defence was legitimately pretty decent and we hadn't done our research on it.

Makes you wonder just what we had been doing.

Was very frustrating mate. Very Roosters really, our poor handling being the undoing of an otherwise excellent team and an equally excellent season.

There’s some sort of music festival going on here at Homebush. There are women walking around in not much everywhere I look. It’s fantastic!

Will complacency kill us today? We have no reason to be complacent after the first 7 rounds. Can someone tell the players this.

Surely not. Not expecting a 360 degree turnaround in form but we shouldn't need it; Hoping we start strong and finish strong with a big reduction in the error rate. Confident of a strong win but not really sure what that would mean against this lot.

I wonder if we really give them a touch up who wears it, Barrett or Gus?

Go the Roosters, thinking around 34 -4.

I'm maintaining my hope for a mid season resurgence (ala 2018) only because Robbo keeps telling us we will keep improving....each month.

Face value tells me otherwise. TIT.

Rads needs to play big minutes if we are to go anywhere this season . Him and JWH starting helps.

Downside is we will miss Toups a lot today. Others really need to step up.

Rain today in Sydney, hopefully gone by kickoff.

Robbo would make a great director of sales as he has been "selling" this idea of them getting better since round 1.

Not sure what changes they have made to the attack though as one would hope it will result in immediate dividends and not changes they will take time to implement.
