Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Parramatta

[Andrew Walker]

Top win That type of performance is what we must aspire to as a minimum each week

[fletch]

Gutsy win but worried about how much that will take out of the team ahead of the Panthers game next weekend.

[roosterchook]

I can't see anything different between the way we defend the ruck and the way parra are, yet they are given a 6 again every 2nd set, while we are getting nothing. I'm sick of this bias BS we cop from the officals every game

They laid all over us but nothing for us.

[bondi.boy]

Very good win by our boys...beat the Eels and the seemingly-biased refereeing.

[Crab]

What a game ! Showed a lot of heart ( nearly gave me a heart attack ) Love this Roosters team . First half field goal not so silly now ay Gus ?

Wish Mrs Thirteen a very happy birthday when the time comes. I think she's the only one of your family I am yet to meet.. I remember you showing me her photo when I ran into you at the airport in 2019..you have a beautiful family..sigh..I remember airports...and travel and covid free holidays..doc still won't let me out with the great unwashed (but I think she means Souths fans)

As for my childhood team, I would like them sliced and diced and preserved in aspic today..

that is all..


now back to my coffee in my 2013 premiers mug..enjoy the game and the week people...

Well the only thing sliced and diced were my nerves after that one..good to see my trusty crystal ball is still intact (after all it is MAGIC round…) as I’ve really been giving it a workout lately with all kinds of matters..




my great niece turned 10 this week..good thing I already put money into her bank account as I don’t think anyone on that side of the family will be talking to me this week…poor girl has never seen her Eels win a premiership..




Now to move onto knocking over the premiers for Mrs Thirteen’s birthday weekend..Hope Mr Thirteen gets home safely after that one…serenity now..!

[Teddy]

Brilliant game finally boys a consistent, disciplined, the Roosters way, Roosters DNA victory, very very happy with that, now that’s a game to build off so incredibly proud of the boys gutsy victory in the end.

[roosterchook]

What a great win. Try of the round must go to Suuali. We are in 4th place!! Walker was phenomenal. Keary was awesome. So many great players. I didn’t think much of the eels. The only thing that kept them in the game were all the 6 agains.

[bondi.boy]

They laid all over us but nothing for us.

Exactly.
Happens all the time in games...has become accepted as the norm.
One day the Club might complain about it.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

We are back.

The day when Joe Suaalii came of age. So many top performances hard to pick motm. Teddy, Keary and JWH all outstanding. Young Sam, Sitili etc.

Exhausting fast pace game in those humid warm conditions. Recovery all important before taking on the Premiers next week.

Top game.

[Jarlicho]

Good win. The Walker/Angus defensive combo still needs work. Momo’s Best game of the year & Suali is starting to show his talent.
The next 6 weeks are going to be tough, it will most likely define the season for us.

[mattyh]

ok, lets not get ahead of ourselves, magnificent, but back on the horse now.

[Thirteen]

Thanks RWB.

My 8pm flight just got delayed to 9pm. Will have to stay at Suncorp and watch the next game.

Fantastic win. Despite the 24 the defence looked better.

[mattyh]

oh yea i thought crichton was great tonight ...dont really wanna lose him

[Johnny Brass]

Great win to the roosters I thought we showed so much resilience under a weight of possession from the 6 agains. The silly hands on the ball in the ruck have to be stopped.
JWH was a beast up front and seeing him leading the kick chase when we were under the pump was inspiring.
So many good players for us today and the continuing improvement of our younger brigade is pleasing to see.
Gus was much better on the edge and Momo had his best game for us, topped off a great weekend.
Teddy our best for mine and Joey is all class.
