Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[The Marshall]

Spot on. His big frame & extra go forward grunt is great.

He is giving us an offload and creating second phase which allows us to open up.

[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.

Never in doubt.

This man is a marvel.

[Eggspert]

Just on Newcastle, how much cap space does Ponga take up of theirs? Without him they have zero attack. It's ridiculous.

We are nowhere near a one man team like they are. We still are competitive & rack up points with a stack of players out. Still can't believe they beat us Rd1

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Really glad to see the boys back up with another dominant performance two weeks in a row.

Just looking at the stats, 10 errors and a completion rate of 77% are something that needs to be cleaned up a little bit as we run into the finals.

With SST, Collins and of course Joey Manu to come back I reckon we can go undefeated the next few rounds

Some dumb plays to start

We'll never beat the top teams whilever they continue to happen.

[bondi.boy]

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.

We must stop this happening in games, it's just *crazy* play to be doing this all the time.

[rented tracksuit]

Never in doubt.

This man is a marvel.

Can he pls give me next weeks lotto numbers?

[rented tracksuit]

Why? he did alright last year in the finals

That was almost a year ago. What’s he done since? Can’t blame people for being critical but I do hope he steps up if we make the finals. We need whoever is out there to step it up.

[rented tracksuit]

Sorry if this had been mentioned but what did Gagai say that had him binned?

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Have missed JWH's dumb early penalties.

That was a joke of a penalty, JWH did nothing wrong, the Knights player was flopping about like a flathead.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Milford the milkman

Players should be penalised for faking... Milford is a disgrace. And the Ref is an idiot.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Ahhhhh yes the "independent" doctor has found a reason to pull one of our players off now, lovely.

This independant doctor rubbish is PC gone mad. Who runs this sideshow?

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Have I turned on the footy or some other shit?

That first 20 minutes was hard to watch, so many bullshiit penalties. I thought the fix was on.

[rented tracksuit]

Players should be penalised for faking... Milford is a disgrace. And the Ref is an idiot.

It was disgraceful and should have resulted in him going for a HIA if it was that bad.

[Rooster_6]

Going to be interesting to see how Robbo manages his pack with SST and Collins due back in over the next few weeks.

Radley and Egan Butcher at prop with Watson at lock both sides of half time has worked really well for us. That mobility and leg speed almost feels like it could be our competitive advantage.
