Great news thanks for that.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Was that our best performance so far this yr? Probably so...

Did come at a huge cost though...Radley out for 6 weeks or more.

Time to move C Watson to lock...and get Marsche or Lam to play backup hooker. That's what i would do.

[Lydon]

Apparently Greg Alexander gave 3 Dally M points to M Moses?

[Vasco]

Has JWH been charged?

Yes he gave 3 to Moses, 2 Walker, 1 Tedesco.

The bias towards spine players in the Dally M’s just continues on. For mine both Daniel Tupou and JWH had for more impact in their side winning the game than Moses did.

I hate it. Different at the game live when you sit end on, you have the whole field perspective and sometimes a big screen to supplement the alternate view. But for TV it's a shocker. As the Tornado said, just for replays or post match review if you must.

They needed windscreen wipers on it when it was raining, I'm not a fan of it myself.
I do like sitting behind the sticks at the game I think you get a lot better feel for it though you do lose the 10 metres in defence.

I wish I would have known this when I was at the airport yesterday cause he was sitting right near me. I would have blasted the prick. I also heard him say on SEN radio this morning that he watched the Cowboys game while at the airport. Absolute rubbish. Even though the screen was nearby, he never looked at it once.

[mattyh]

Please elaborate. What did you see? I saw a toiler who’s worth $350k.

i thought his runs on the edge were threatening , almost but not quitr breaking the line . i think he os worth more then 350 , appears strong if we could get him between 650 to 750 k wed be happy . i think he does some good d work and may be one of them guys you dont miss until hes gone .

bit like souffs with a reynolds ...well maybe not.

I'm going for the 2 Butcher brothers to cover the lock position in Rads absence.
Egan can play a similar ball playing role as Rads and Nat does a huge amount of work in the middle when he's on the paddock.

Seriously? Wow that's a shocker.

With the Toups and Teddy (pen) no tries, the scoreboard might have flattered them in the end.

Moses was very good - probably in there somewhere but not the 3 imo.

Wanker.

Seriously, most on here have no idea how deep the jealousy/hatred of Easts runs for most fans and almost all commentators. Decades of arse-rape of our club by match officials, proven beyond doubt by stats, are ignored. Instead, "roosters are a protected species" if a single decision goes our way.

When Canberra almost beat us in 2019 GF, the "6 again" was all that was spoken about, with cheerleader Go-Russ-Go leading the charge of heartbroken haters to the gap to throw themselves off a cliff.
