Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Broncos

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Momirovski has played well

He was very good, outshone Staggs which was his brief.

[stringaz]

Too easy.

A class above everyone except Penrith.

Again, we'll make the GF. Not a prediction.

PROPHECY.

P.S. this ref is a clown and blind as ****.

We're a class above them too. Always paddling against the current to achieve what we do.

When we get more troops back and if we get proper treatment, we'll win the whole thing. Again. But they won't allow it.

Gotta take it.

GO EASTS.

oh and gus was great in the first half.

as for jwh or rads giving sammy a blast, good, he was becoming to kick happy and playing low percentage football. im all for his free spirited approach , but he has to reign in it sometimes.

That first 20minutes was something else. 10/10 champagne footy.

Really enjoyed watching 40minutes of that game, but there was equally 40minutes of us trying to invite the Broncos back into the game.. we tried so hard they just weren’t any good.

Really need to play our best footy for longer than 40minutes a game, won’t be good enough against the Cowboys and I fear won’t be good enough in our quest to make the 8.

good to get the 2pts. a lot to like - if we'd really clicked we would have put 50 on them. letting 3 tries wasn't good but our defence is looking solid up the middle

[Rooster_6]

Was it just me or was Rhys Kennedy trying to get himself sin binned in the 2nd half? By my count he gave away 5 penalties in the space of 20-25minutes and was trying so hard to give away more…

Can you bet on players getting sin binned? Something really sus about his performance tonight.

Yeh Gus seems to have a better understanding of his role since origin. Thought he was great tonight, offered good lines to his halves, carried strongly in tight and was a genuine attacking threat. Doesn’t seem to be getting caught in field doing defensive work anywhere near as much as he used to either and has been really effective in defensive contact as a result.

[roosterchook]

A few players have come really good such as Momo and Watson. Lodge was massive again. He makes a huge difference. We have the potential to go all the way except for our errors. Walker is awesome. Great goal kicker too. Crichton was fantastic today. So much blood spilt tonight. I hope there’s no serious injuries.Rads what a tackle! And they repay him by dropping it the next ball. Should have put 50 on them .

[ConGa]

could've been 40+ had our left side played with no error

really - give yourself an upper cut epod

Fair dink mate give yourself an uppercut - you are the most self righteous boring mofo on this site - cut paste boring stats and then name calling to anyone who might vaguely disagree with your opinions that the media has given you.


You are embarrassing yourself I have to withhold myself three times a day not of react to your posts every single day like I have today. I'm sure there are 100 people on here that do the same. Boring predictable shite

If say that would’ve been his instructions. Very origin like in testing the ref, especially a rookie one.

[Roosterfarian]

On the flip side - champagne footy from Keary. Geez he looked good along with Teddy.

Ha Ha Ha living rent free in your head as well lots of room as one can see you are rather IQ challenged - congratulations though your on ignore.

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

So impressed with Lodge. It's like having two Jareds out there. They make a great team.
