Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[NorfolkStreetKid]

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.

I think our best starting pack when everybody is on deck is

JWH
Sammy V
Lindsay
Angus
Butch 1
Rads

Bench

TKO
Lodge
Butch 2
??????.....Watson ? or Hutch ?

Looks good, assume these players are available next season, who would squeeze out for Smith ?

We might lose Angus. Lodge might not be here. TKO is leaving. But Sitili will probably be back..... we need depth.

What a blockhead be me, forgot about TKO moving on.

WELL, that was abit bloody good, werent it?...80 points in two weeks against teams we shouldnt be beating...how good was Eager Butcher and Connor "Doctor" Watson ?...only two things vaguely annoyed me , that bloke going to the dolphins next year , um , f**king Milford, taking the dive and getting Newy their first 2 points, he got cracked ,barely, and went down like he was shot.. and the other thing was Dan Ginnane and Micheal Ennis stealing oxygen , i even tweeted the FOX NRL director and begged him to switch off their mic's and just let Flanagan and Hoops call the decimation....anyway, we got through it unscathed , Lukeys head stayed intact and Bondi Joe done what Bondi Joe always does, be brilliant

[Bruce 38-0]

I think the other thing about MILF was how he took out Connor when he passed to Kez for the first try. Completely unwarranted and smacked off take that. Very poor.

I am trying to ignore it and maybe it won't happen.

[bondi.boy]

Some dumb plays to start

Yes, enough to lose us games. against top 4 teams.

And it keeps on happening *every* game.
It's ridiculous.

Do it against good teams and they will make us pay...bigtime.

[roostermcgregor]

I am feeling confident after that performance, even with TKO departing.
I am starting to see all the fuss about E Butcher. Bondi Joe just continues to amaze me - no one was going to stop him from scoring the 2nd try, and the inside ball to Teddy for the try was just sublime. Teddy was just , Teddy. Kez was all smiles after the game. Manu and Lindsay still to come back. And I reckon JWH will only get better now he is playing after a few weeks off.

Egan Butcher gives massive Fletcher vibes.

Mate............haven't seen you post in ages, hope you are well.
I haven't watched the game yet, went to bed early. I'm looking forward to watching the replay this arvo. I will raise a glass to you.

I enjoyed our new style of game based on speed rather than the Robbo traditional power game.

Thanks Eddie - I do lurk around these parts mainly. I’m ok - you know the drill mate.

Thanks for the thoughts mate - you’re a good man.

I'm glad someone else saw that. I thought the fix was in after 1 minute of game time with some of the decisions the ref made. I was shocked that one of our guys wasn't binned late in the game. The ref was adamant that he was going to let NC have all the possession in the last 15 minutes.

[bondi.boy]

My man Hutch was great.
Fielded kicks, forced NC to lose the ball over the sideline, kept Gagai quiet, tackled well...did his job.
