Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Bulldogs

[Andrew Walker]

The most embarrassing thing about this is Canterbury are absolute shite

[elo]

Another poor half from us, a lack of purpose to our play.

[ARD]

We look like we’ve regressed not improved from last week. The sideways attack is driving me nuts

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Suaalii one shining light...dud call on the no strip on him. Should have challenged.

[Ray Stehr]

Wtf do we do all week?

[Arties Pie]

As everyone has stated damned poor performance thus far..Not much go through the middle, Very poor options taken thus far...We have some older players,Some very out of form players and some average players.

[rented tracksuit]

On a positive, the butthurt here in Canberra is still very very real.

I’m here at the Southern Cross club in Tuggers and there are more people here for the Roosters game than for the Raiders game before. They cheer every mistake the Roosters make and everything positive the Dogs do. They hate us and I am loving it!

When we win, I’m getting up and yelling out “six again”!

[roosterchook]

Dogs last on the table. Lost for words. Anyone know what’s up with the roosters?

[Rocky Rhodes]

What a rabble....worst disciplined half i've seen since 2016...Is Robbo sleeping....is the team sleeping....dogs were always gonna come out firing.

[Ray Stehr]

Seriously who cares about Canberra fans? We need to start again, the roster we have has had it's day.

My black marker is warming up....time to put the marker thru Easts for season 2022 as far as flickering premiership chance is concerned?

Rads is playing well also, Id hate to see our forwards if Rads wasnt there offering some ballwork in the middle.

[King Salvo]

Be an interesting conversation that Robbo has with the team at Oranges - the late try by Suaalii will hopefully kick off a better second half

Some first half stats

• Possession 51% Dogs to 49% Roosters
• Set Completions - Dogs 80% ( 16/20) - Roosters 68% (17/25)
• Average play the ball speed - Dogs 3.39 seconds - Roosters 2.55 seconds
• Errors - Dogs 5 - Roosters 10
• Missed Tackles - Dogs 10 - Roosters 11
• Penalties Conceded - Dogs 6 - Roosters 2
• Interchanges - Dogs 2 - Roosters 2

Roosters are wanting to play a fast game as per the play the ball speed but will need to improve set completions to capitalise on this as well reducing errors and missed tackles in this important second half.

This is a game they must take control of in the second half as the longer the Dogs hold the lead the more belief they will have of winning it.

Poor second half start an error and another incomplete set

[The Corner Post]

Can we just try ang go forward before we go wide?
