Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sharks

[MCMLXVI]

All of a sudden we unleash a form of attack. Keep it up, don't lift your boot from their throat. 80 minutes is necessary.

[King Salvo]

Half tine sounds Roosters lead the Sharks 20-0 - need the same second half

Roosters it could be argued should be further ahead at half time and not goal kick misses.

Agreed let’s try and ram this one home Score a and convert first then hold them to zero

It's the acceleration, RTS had the same thing with an even smaller frame. They are just so fast off the mark and that generates raw power, he's going to be a million dollar player at fullback in a few seasons.....we are going to have a tough decision to make.

Thought the same, he gets to top gear within a matter of metres, so keen to see a long break from him stuffed into my memory box

[mightyrooster]

Great first half. Now we’ve just got to keep it up. Do not let them back in the game!

[bondi paul]

Go for the jugular. Seeing a game not being squared up will make a nice change.

I still am confused what Connor Watson does or is supposed to be doing …

Utility Forward - Hutch has played the full 40 minutes and Watson the last 7 replacing Collins

Of course you don’t … utility preferrably a roaming lock

[ChookMaster]

Piss off baker.

[RoosterFanNZ]

I do see a future first grader in baker, but I do feel he needs some time in reserve grade.

but im not a coach so my opinion doesn't matter

[elo]

Poor start to the second half, just kick it down the other end and smash them.

[roosterchook]

Here comes the ref.
