Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Bulldogs

[dice]

Who was it that wanted the Fijian to have a run in first grade? Did you see that try he just let in for the Bulldogs? Didn’t even jump.

Also gifted them the second try running in off his wing despite no overlap. Future prospect maybe due to size but not anytime soon.

Keighran won't play for Bears named 18th man. Assume Lam will play though. Want to see Whyte show more, big potential.

Yeah, I realised soon after I posted. Half time now, 12-6 to the Dogs. All of our forwards are playing well, but the player really standing out to me is Marschke.

[MCMLXVI]

I don't really care who does it, but someone needs to take charge of the team in attack.

Totally agree. We need someone to take charge, otherwise we are simply a 25 letter alphabet team.

Fox reporting Adam Keighran will play left centre tonight, Momo to the wing, Naiqama out

May , Arthur , Hau Tapuha standouts for me

Bellamy can’t get his hands on may

[The Brain]

why am I worried?

"Ladies game today..."Knights got heaps of penalties, Roosters seemed to only get one ..neck holding was prolific and 3 penalties were awarded for it, not to the Roosters" - little lady who sits in the recliner.

Yeah the props went pretty well.
Not sure about Karawele the fijian winger. Ordinary in defence and disinterested at times, but runs well.
Atoni didn't seem to do much............can't see him in the frame for first grade anytime soon.

May deserves man of match.

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

[JAF]

If the talk is consistent with the action, I expect a significant improvement in today’s performance.
Maybe Walker will start playing more halfback to free Keary up with his running game?
This is where Rads holds the key with being first receiver to unlock both halves.

This is potentially a statement game - smash the Dogs and get a boost in confidence, or another frustrating week of clunky footy.

Go Easts and hopefully the former!!

[HDTONE]

I. I reckon they did the same drill over 20 times until they got it perfect. Bellamy was screaming at them to get it right.

Yep and its getting the basic stuff right so you can build up to the flash.

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

How bad is Mark Carroll’s commentary. Offers absolutely zero insight. Makes Blocker look like Einstein.

Was he commentating?
I thought he was just there to tell us old Manly stories about Hasler and Bozo.
