Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Broncos

[A Country Member]

The Broncos lost to the Tigpies last week. They were pulled apart by a rookie half.

Sam Walker to play well tonight

[Seventy Five]

Hope to see us attack through the middle and edges again tonight We seemed to take a step backwards last week. Keary was good but he was better against the Knights when he played a lot straighter . He was steering the play cross field a little last week and while I I realise Toups scored a good try of the sweeping block play, I just think we overuse that play and that side too much. .

We will need JWH and Lodge to be very good tonight. Hope they can both stretch the boundaries without breaking them. Should be a cracka, cant wait.

We will win. Up the Roosters!

[Rooster36]

I hope coach robbo does not bench JWH and Collins at the same time , we need at least 1 of them on the park at all times .
I'm confident of a good win with the chooks finding plenty of room straight down middle.
A hat trick and mom for lord ted

he has Apparantly dropped Collins all together must be an attitude problem

[Mickie Lane]

I hope its a tight close game going down to the wire with hopefully the Chooks winning.
21-20 maybe.

[BTRD]

Keen for a win. GO ROOSTERS.

[ARD]

Pretty even in forwards and outside backs but like our spine better. Pumped for the game - enjoy all.

on second thought we have them covered except for bench. Play to our potential and we win by a couple of tries

Am I the only one who feels Brisbane are a false top 8 team?
I don’t actually rate them at all and I am confident we will click tonight and punish them.

Chooks 38 - 10

No, you're not. They are doing well this season, but all the media championing them is mostly due to their poor performance over recent seasons. We shall put them to the sword tonight.

[John Corey]

There is a lot of talk from so called 'experts' Laurie Daley, Spud Carroll etc to name a couple, saying the roosters are up there with the best in the business at timing their finals run, it seems like we have been building and have now finally got the better part of our squad together since the origin circus minus Sitilli and Collins.

The Broncos are a team on the rise apart from their blip last week. The way they played vs Parra 2 weeks ago, suggests that if they're focused they will prove to be a real handful tonight. I hope the boys focus on the following areas tonight. 1. Discipline. 2. Fast play the balls .3. Roll the broncos down the middle early in the sets and hit our ball players in the later phase of the sets. 4. 80% completion and above, we win tonight.

No sin bins. No stupid knock ons after scoring a try. Let's do the so called 1 % ers our club always talks about and show we are a force to be reckoned with.

Fire up lads!!

I'd like some of what those guys are on. We are so far off the pace it ain't funny. "Timing our run?" We need another few months.

[BillyBonkers]

Brisbane are the real deal. Foolish to think otherwise.

Who's more desperate?

[stringaz]

The ref appointment Todd Smith a odd one. It will only be his 3rd first grade game.

Ehhhhh same job as that Peter dude who reffed us in the TPJ radley debacle. He was new too. I expect they'll make it tough for us tonight which really steams me up as we're playing at the hallowed ground - the SCG. Some respect please.

However, lesssssss goooooooooooooooo chooooooooooooooks

One thing they troubled us with earlier in the season, even though we won, is their speed across the park. Perhaps the wet weather will slow them down, but really hope we bring the defense tonight.

[Headless Chook]

No, you're not. They are doing well this season, but all the media championing them is mostly due to their poor performance over recent seasons. We shall put them to the sword tonight.

They actually remind me a bit of us in 2017. Coming off a bad season, few young potential stars coming through with some experienced guys and just keep hanging in there.

JS run off the ball just then no penalty
