[Thirteen]

6 for 72 declared.

Nice one Roosters.

Thank you for the great send off.

[Lydon]

Great win

[BigCok007]

Outstanding performance, Clearly our kick returns can use some work but that score line sent a statement. We’re here to play mother fookers. Let’s go Drizzle!!

[MCMLXVI]

66 to 6 would have been easier to remember.

[King Salvo]

Good win - may have been the game but losing possession from the kick offs after points is certainly a no no against better sides - 5 times( 4 lost in tackles and 1 from the kick off going dead in goal)

Set completions second half only 66% - must be some sort of NRL record for s team to make less than 100 tackles in a half of football - 95 tackles only the Roosters had to make in the 2nd half.

It's happening.

2022 is about to become 2002.

Prophecy. Not prediction.

[nayfo]

It was after all wooden spooners we played. We need one win to make the finals OR Raiders need to lose one.

I get it but how much are you meant to beat the wooden spooners by for the critics to say is fair…..100, 200, 1000?

We won 72-6 for god sake.

Mission complete in my opinion.

Definitely. Just that we need to be mentally prepared to face storm so the job’s not really done until we win one more match. We can’t afford to get carried away or complacent with today.

Totally agree. Well said

[The Brain]

Woeful couldn't crack the ton..I'm outta here

[mightyrooster]

How good was that. In 40 plus years I’ve never seen us score more than 70 points. Now on to the Storm.

[Rooster_6]

So evident how sideways our attack goes when Luke Keary isn’t in control. We were a bit all over the place in the first 10 minutes then just played real direct and straight for the next 50 and then as soon as he went off we started trying to go around them again.

Keary is the key, he was brilliant tonight and made in game corrections to our attack that I think will be glossed over in such a commanding and convincing performance.

Very happy to see Nat Butcher get his moment in the light too.

[mattyh]

as some have said ...lets enjoy the massacre, but there are tougher tests to come...the tiger was rendered somewhat incapable, however a storm doth await the rooster eyes the trophy from afar, but untouchable it is not....channeling my oracle

I’ve long argued on here that a good goal kicker isn’t that important but like you I’ve never seen us score 70 before so I’ll take it all back.

That was magnificent from Sammy Walker.

He was amazing. You can tell he’s been working so hard on his goal kicking.
