Official Match Day Thread: Roosters vs Tigers

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

We were obviously good You don't score 12 if you aren't. But watching the replay this morning, there were deadset trys that were scored were the tigpies defence seemed like they couldn't be bothered to move let alone tackle.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Also James Tamou gotta love him. He said what many of us have been thinking for so long..... Ben Cummins is incompetent lol

[Rooster_6]

I'm gonna go against some stuff.
Yeah great win, great Nat bagged 4 and Sammy kicked 12.

But I'd rather see a competition. Earn them points. The comp is too lopsided. Lack of player talent, coaching talent or whatever.

In the long run racking up AFL scores won't be good for the game,. Man you cant have the same teams always in the top 6.....kinda like when United won every Premier League.

Don't know how you fix it. A draft got tossed, but seems to go good in other sports, the cap isn't working. Maybe a bigger cap for the bottom 3 ???. IHNFI but I'm not paid the massives to run the thing.

Anways that just my 2 cents.

There will always be poorly run clubs, that’s just business. Trying to give them handouts and freebies to make them better just incentivises incompetence.

There’s been 6 different premiership winners over the past decade, the same amount of premiership winners as in the AFL over the last decade. There’s no evidence a draft is any more effective. I don’t think the issue is as big as some make out.

The gap between the top 6 or so clubs and the rest has really become a problem in the last few seasons. If you look at who is going to finish in the 8 and who isn’t the only real surprise is the cowboys. Otherwise it’s all very predictable. Must be very depressing for fans of those sides who have become a lock for a bottom 8 finish every year.

Raiders and manly are always there and thereabouts, I don’t think many expected broncos to be in the 8, and they may well still drop out, as we may too.

as good as our run has been, and probably the most star studded team in the comp, one loss and we could embarrassingly not feature in the finals.

It may feel predictable, but each season still brings in it’s own little twists.

You weren't being greedy...but conservative..Horrie messaged me saying he'd told a Tigers mate the Roosters will put 60 on them..then he messaged me when Tamou was throwing his tanty asking if we could make it to 72...

Good thing the scoreboard is not manual these days at the SCG...the poor attendant would not have had a chance to rest all night...

I usually don't watch games in last nights time slot live.....................but I made an exception because I was so confident it would be a stress free game.
So I stayed up later than usual and was rewarded big time.

Still gonna watch the replay this arvo.

What a game.

Happy early birthday! Yes I won't be watching Melbourne or Souths live either..I can't cope..plus usually fall asleep by 9pm..

Why was Radley on report? I didn’t see it at the game.

Dumb play from Radley there was no need for it, Walker should have given him a spray and told him to use his brains.
Like the JWH elbow a few weeks ago against Fulton those two have to realise they have a target on their back with the officials and we can't afford them missing end of season games.

Be a terrible way to finish his career for telling the truth.

[Rooster_6]

Radley has been charged with a grade 1, will cop a $1,000 fine if he pleads guilty.

He has copped 2 weeks with an early guilty plea so unless someone picks him up for next season which it looks like the Tigers wont that will be his last game.

Real shame for a 300+ gamer.

[Johnny Brass]

Tigers were woeful and we won't be scoring some of those types of tries for the rest of the year but it was nice to see the crisp ball movement along the backline.
Can't wait for next week's big clash with a Storm team that Bellamy has turned around with some coaching master strokes.
Like Lodge for us the Noufaluma signing has strengthened a weakness and moving Munster to fullback and the giant to right edge 2nd rower has created all sorts of problems.
The tough treatment he handed out to cheese during his suspension has seen him back to his best and a marked difference to how weak clubs try to cover up stars misbehaviour or poor form.
We will be underdogs for this one but in it up to our necks.

Do you know how many fines he's had this year R6?

[gragra]

Incredible for a tackle below the knees to bring a bigger man down iwith no force or malice or carelessness s even mentionable. Playon a 1,000 times a season...

[Rooster_6]

Do you know how many fines he's had this year R6?

That’s his first charge for the season which is why the fine is so low.

JWH has been fined 3 times this year, with his most recent fine being $3,000
