Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[Johnny Brass]

We've put ourselves in the position where we can't afford anymore slip ups and a must win game against the knights. Should have too much class for them and interested to see Keary and jwh return.
Easts to win

[Tommy Smith]

No Manu is a huge blow. Week after week, for three years, we've just had random 1 wk injuries on top of season ending injuries.

I think it'll be a Teddy masterclass that sees us win. He's an absolute moral for MotM.

Knights have let in second most points, so like last week I think we come home strong if we can hold our nerve.

How goods game day!

[Rooster89]

Whyte has been pretty ordinary playing for the Bears recently.

More so just to see a bigger body on the bench.

Maybe not up to FG standard?

[ARD]

We are 3-6 in away games this year - hopefully Trent has looked at why and we’ve made adjustments this week.

In our favour Knights are unusually 2-6 at Home.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Danger game big time away and with no Manu. Wouldn't take $1.25 with your money.

[Mickie Lane]

Again here we are playing a game that everyone thinks we're gonna win & hopefully we do but who knows how this is going to pan out tonight.
I wouldnt be surprised if the Chooks win 13 plus but I also wouldnt be surprised if the Chooks lose.
Are things going to click? We'll just have to wait & see.
Go the Roosters.

we can only drop one game to be assured of making the 8. drop 2 and it will probably come down to f and a. pretty much a must win game tonight.
we're down on troops, playing away on a cold and wet winter's night - will they hose down our dressing room?!
victory is not assured - the knights have a good team on paper and might rise to the occasion.
we really need to roll up our sleeves and get the job done

[Billy Gunn]

Danger game big time away and with no Manu. Wouldn't take $1.25 with your money.

Ultimately we should win 13+ but we also have the tendency to drop the ball, hold players down and turn it over in the worst possible positions.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Down on strike power on those edges with our top centres and Sitili out injured. Want to see us build on that quick fire ruck speed from Vez and Watson and Ted. Knights will struggle with that if we repeat the energy and tactics of last week. Admittedly we had the best ref to allow that style of play to be effective. Who knows here. Pleased T May gets another run, on the improve.

Look for the tall timber wingers to receive some try opportunities from our halves. Glad Dom Youngs out, he could be anything.

We should be a class above them even allowing for the absentees tonight.

[stringaz]

Peter Gough main ref. Has he officiated us since the Broncos double radley binning TPJ chin tap?

No game is a given. Hope they power through it all tonight.

[mattyh]

go chooks, no confidence we will win which sucks against this pack of bludgers

go,roosters we need to win this .

[Bansai Pipeline]

Is Lodge playing?

[The Brain]

Should win still but its a lottery with us centers are shit

[zac]

dragons up 12-0. could be a good night for the esdrlfc
