Official Match Day Thread: Roosters V Storm

[gragra]

I thought we could have easily won that game, and we were at least equal to Melbourne, probably better for most of the game. Losing Keary was a massive loss for us. Kafusi should get time for his blatant elbow to the head on Walker, he has form for this type of grubby gutless stuff.
TKO, Gus, Butch and Lindsay all went well, the halves went well
If we can get Verrrills back to replace Watson and maybe Smith to replace Momi then we could still have a chance in the semis.
Players who certainly need to improve are Watson....so many mistakes from dummy half, and Momi, seems lost in defence and lacks penetration in attack and Fifita still learning and maybe trying too hard.
If we can get this team on the field fit for the semis we could have a chance against anyone.
Teddy, Toops, Joey, Smithy, JS, Keary, Walker, Rads, Angus, Sitili, JWH, Verrills, Lindsay.......TKO, Butch, Baker, May? Hutch? Watson?

AGREE with all this!

i'd give billy smith a spot ahead of momo but i thought watson was pretty good. two bad errors but he looks dangerous with ball in hand. if sammy v is to come back soon watson could be a real weapon off the bench

Another tough loss but I thought we were very brave and happy with how the boys played.
We aren't far off and the bright sparks provided by Walker and Suaalii augers well for the future.
I thought Angus was terrific for us and a few defensive lapses cost us dearly.

Yeah I don't think the chooks should give up on Angus just yet.
he's not too far away from some good footy

Storm have been disgusting this whole match. Laying for penalties, dog shots, lying all over the ruck. They may win but I doubt they sleep well at night.

Of course they will sleep well, that’s the bellyache method

[RoosterBooster]

I think last night showed that once again we can’t play high level footy for 80mins . Until we fixed this we can’t compete with teams like Penrith .

[Recky62]

If JWH did what Kafusi did , it would of been a straight don’t come back , but that’s that F**ktard Sutton for ya

They just mentioned that he copped an $1800 fine for the elbow on Sam which is an absolute disgrace.
I trace back the start of Cords head knocks began with Kaufusi driving his head into the ground and he has got away with it for years.
His career has been littered with similar illegal tactics.

R.I.P 2022 Roosters chances.

We are cooked, put a fork in us...

Storm were very beatable and if they played another top 4 side they would have lost.
Very disappointing yr, worst performance wise still 2016.

The Sydney Roosters can provide the following update regarding Luke Keary.

Keary sustained a concussion in the Sydney Roosters Round 14 match against the Melbourne Storm.

He has shown improvement overnight and his progress will continue to be monitored throughout the week as he undergoes the necessary protocols.

One would assume he will miss the next game as a minimum - Hutch to 5/8 or Manu with Billy Smith centre - Verrills or Marschke dummy half - Verrills looked underdone first game back for the Bears in his short stint yesterday.

Hutch to 6 might be a blessing in disguise with his long kicking game and how he complements Walker very well.

Can we please sign JS up for 10 year contract now

My crystal ball says he'll be first grade captain of our fine club within 5 years..speaking of crystal balls, I very rarely gamble, but I just chucked some money on a horse an hour ago, backed it for a place, went for a walk in my Roosters polo, didn't watch the race and came back $66 richer...

Violet crumbles for everyone!

You all know how much I love a song..this one is for JS and also that horse:
