Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Parra

[kakaruk]

On a positive note we will win next week

No we wont

[stringaz]

Robbo is losing the plot He has just said he felt like we dominated the second half

I suppose we won it 6 nil. But that period there surrounding Angus dropped ball we really should have scored one.

Gonna have to disagree with Robbo here.

Parramatta are not an average team.

They beat a very average team by a fairly small maigin so I beg to differ .Very average tonight anyway

We did… he’s right we just didn’t put anything on in attack.

[kakaruk]

If we could keep them scoreless second half then it looks like our first half game plan was wrong. If we’d done our homework on these guys we should have held our line instead of rushing out which only left holes for them to offload through. That was fixed but too late by then.

They won the forward battle you cant offload if you are getting knocked on your arse when you take the ball up its as simple as that

High quality fast tough game I thought.
Parras middles especially Campbell Gillard ran f*ckin hard which made them hard to handle, it put the defence of the Roosters under major pressure but I thought the D from the Chooks was as good as it could be under the circumstances, it was more how Campbell Graham & co were having blinders. JWH & Rads were solely missed & then the N Butcher incident taking him out of the game also hurt, it enabled their middles to play a top power game. I thought Collins played good he made a couple of desperate tackles & ran the ball hard but our big dog JWH was really missed, he would have been in the rough stuff with Campbell Gillard & Paulo & evened the ledger.
Sam Walker was majorly targeted & as hard as he tried he just couldnt match their attack with his defence.
Billy Smith had a ripper of a game & played like I had envisaged he could play.
Sitilli & Angus both dropped balls but I thought they played tough in defence.
Verrills helped our attack & doesnt miss many taclkes.
Toups & Suaalii played tough & tried hard.
Joey was just okay
We missed Keary, Hutch just doesnt cut the mustard.
I left Teddy till last because he had an ordinary game.

Parra are a good side & certainly can beat the best teams.

[Andrew Walker]

We had two tackles in there twenty after 25-30 mins of the second half. That is in no way domination

Fair calls mate.

[elo]

Robbo looking more demoralized by the week, need to find something special during the break.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

The Butchers are too small to play in the 2nd row imo

They need to be shown how to possie the melon when tackling low....both copped the same treatment!

[mightyrooster]

They beat a very average team by a fairly small maigin so I beg to differ .Very average tonight anyway

They also beat the Storm and Riff this year too so I guess that makes them average too then.

[bondi paul]

The dribble by Robbo in the presser was embarrassing. He is in denial mode.

[Water boy]

Sounds like Radley will be back for the Panthers game.

Robbo not as confident JWH and Keary would be.

Yay we should only lose by 30 than.

Very good assessment Mickie.

They certainly were tonight if you want to be honest .
