Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Parra

[Rooster90]

New week, same old story

our edges are unbelievably soft defensively

we should of signed a Kurt Capewell type in the off-season

[Rooster1908]

Wow that's quality rugby league....we've been good, they've just been better. They would be spanking any team tonight.

Collins strong as, and lovin Billy in the centres again.

Our bench not that punchy which is a worry, as this will be a battle of the best 17. Not out of it if we can swing that possession ratio somehow.

We've been good .??? Jack what are you drinking because I want some .

62% possession to the Eels in that first half.

Possession will even up and we need to come out with the right mindset in the 2nd half because this Parramatta side is mentally weak and they will give us opportunities.

This game isn't over but we really need to fix up our edge defence, 6 linebreaks and 5 tries in one half just isn't good enough.

True 38% possession is very low and should swing.
Problem is, once upon a time even though we had low possession in a game we could rely on our defence. Not anymore

[Thirteen]

TKO is our only decent forward and he’s leaving.

[The Brain]

What do u expect two t forwards out in jwh and rads..butcher and flipper hands off most of the game..what you expect Fletcher baker and and Fafitafabulous to hold the fort up?....very lazy defence ...giving them too much room don't think they can fix this rabble tonight.Injuries once again is beating us.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Parra's on fire, no stopping them tonight. Even the ref that missed the obvious walker forward pass can't save us.

R.I.P 2022 Roosters..

Brad Arthur looks more animated in the dressing sheds.
Robbo looks like he wants to get home and watch Netflix

[ARD]

Some of the dumbest defense I have ever seen 3 times someone shoots out of the defensive line and opens a massive hole.

Very very poor

[Thirteen]

It's ok, Robbo will just say things will go our way if we all just have positive thoughts .

Probably got them meditating at half time.

[RoosterFanNZ]

I’m horrified at the thought of the forward pack next year and the year after. No sst and jwh a year old and then he’s off.

we will have the softest belly in the league

[bondi paul]

The nature of the modern game allows the teams being dominated allowed back into the game however it’s not applicable to Easts.

[Rooster_6]

TKO is our only decent forward and he’s leaving.

Big difference when Collins went off the field for that HIA.

[ARD]

TKO is our only decent forward and he’s leaving.

It’s a real worry.

our pack is getting mauled tonight and Verrills as first contact is brave but ineffective - it’s no wonder he gets injured so much.

[The Marshall]

What an embarrassment. Our club needs a total reboot.

Forwards are a disgrace. Parra think they’ve won the premiership.

We’ve needed a total reboot since we lost in straight sets in 2020.
We did better last year with Tyne injured senior players. Time to reset.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Is all Momerovski's fault....the eels are running like he ain't even there lol.

Time for the cold hard facts...our forwards get beat most weeks this yr...and the forward depth just ain't there. Sad but true..
