Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Manly

[ChookMaster]

Our depth in the forwards is a huge worry

[RoosterFanNZ]

dear lord can they hold the ball

[ism22]

I give up... every run Manly does is a soft linebreak. Was hoping we'd give it a crack in the 2nd half but instead we're resting everybody. Sigh.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Jesus wept ahah

[top_joe]

Everyone can talk all they like about it being a trial game, but we named a strong H1 team, and got flogged.

I know it means SFA in the the sheme of things, but does little for the confidence of the team.

Hope Robbo lights a fire under them to set expecrations foe the rest of the year.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Every. single. set.

[fletch]

No idea why Robbo put Smith and Radley back out there nothing good can possibly come in this last 25 minutes with the downside an injury or suspension.

Completely agree. We haven’t got our full squad, but neither does Manly. I thought we’d make it more competitive.

Hope this does light a fire under them, cause we can’t afford a slow start again this year. Dolphins should be easy 2pts, should be!

[bondi.boy]

Why are we so crap at the start of the year? Manly look like the panfers atm

They're playing our reserve grade team, basically.

[Roosterfarian]

Who was the gibroni on here that said Hutch was a definite in the 17 each week?

[Easts75]

May has had some strong carries
Turpin defends extremely well at 9
Allan looks like a park footy player and showed why he couldn't get a run at Souths and the Dogs.

[RoosterFanNZ]

wonder if we will drop below 50%

[RoosterFanNZ]

lindsay you bumbling baboon

[ChookMaster]

Errors and penalties…

[Easts75]
