Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[horrie hastings]

Funny the last game I went to was with someone on here and I said I'm bringing you an umbrella and he asked me why. I said it's pouring..he said not at Moore Park......gotta love the east..I remember coming home from the junction on the bus one day and it was pouring at Bellevue Hill but not at Rose Bay..go figure..as long as the conditions suit us, that's what matters...love the 3pm on a Saturday too..nothing like it..sun is out again but it did get overcast again there for a while..

Sun and a lot of blue sky here at St Peters at the the moment, google saying rain between 1pm-2pm in Moore Park but sunny at 3pm.

I remember sitting at the bus stop at where i work at Marrickville and it was raining on one side of the road and completely dry on the side i was on, was very surreal.

What bay is the best to view the action?

Anywhere you can view the big screen from, as Thirteen said its a pretty crap view from just about any point of the SCG.

I remember meeting up with a few from here on ANZAC Day 2014 and I'd gone early and it was dark and raining..by kick off I'd gone to the chemist at Paddington to buy sunglasses and hair ties as it was really warm and sunny an hour later..

None Mate. You can’t see a thing from anywhere at the SCG.

That’s gold mun!

My only worry after listening to Cam Smith is that our most recent wins have mostly been a bit 'easy'. He backed the Cows (after backing us last week, so seems pretty sober about his backing). Our streak's something like:

- Dragons

- Knights without Ponga

- Manly without 7 players

- Broncos played a shyte game

I still back us and will be disappointed if we lose. Food for thought though.

Random trivia - we're on the best current streak, which is kinda neat.

This is true, but you also have to be fair to the Cowboys form.
The Bulldogs and Dragons both competed with them for 60-minutes or so, until they ran out of steam.
They straight up lost to the Tigers, and the Sharks.

There are still question marks over both teams today.

The Cowboys really seem to like back-ending their points in games. I think if they approach us like they have their last few games, they'll lose.
I expect their halves to out-kick ours in general play, but if we kick relatively well for field position, I think we'll be too good.

A star-studded Roosters line-up on a winning streak that has been scoring lots of points, on a Saturday afternoon in Sydney, is a daunting prospect.

Go the Chooks.

No thank you. I just enjoyed a lovely breakfast...

Haha...Souths are best viewed with an empty stomach, no doubt.

[Johnny Brass]

Should be a cracker in a massive game for us to see where we line up against what I perceive to be a very good side.
Rads up against Taumalolo will be a beauty and they have a very good pack of forwards.
Big game for Gus up against Nanai who reminds me of Manu in a backrower package with his footwork, offloading and aerial threat.
Suaalii v Taulagi on the flanks is another eye watering clash to watch out for.
Class of our backs can get us home.
Hopefully the weather will hold up.
Easts to win.

I beg to differ JFC. It is much better to have some substance to throw up rather than dry retching.

[The Brain]

The return of the Joey Manu show ...and suali to bury the overated one the hammer..and the new bookends best 2013..to pile drive the cowboys from brokeback mountain

A walk in the park today. Cairns are as overrated as the Ponies. Our forwards will dominate theirs, creating many strike opportunities for Mr. Dubliner and The Ghost Who Walks. Good old Joe v2.0 (Mr. Enthusiastic) will also be a pleasure to watch as he decimates the Ponies.

You didn't walk a mile in his shoes. Remove the stigma associated with suicide. It was his life and his choice to end it. You can certainly regret or mourn his choice, but never condemn it.



Go Easts!

This will get me a lot of heat but I don't care.

I’m skipping the first five minutes because of the wankfest over that piece of shit Green. Bastard didn’t go off the to the Gap or somewhere private, he scragged himself in his garage so his wife or kids could find him. I don't care how depressed you are, you don't do something shitty like that. Prick should be treated like they used to treat suicides and be buried in unconsecrated ground.
