Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Manly

[Vasco]

A lot of anger towards Hutcho. We should all know by now what his role in the squad is. He was forced to shift wider when Suaalii went off.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if and when Keary is gone due to HIA, Hutcho will be the 5/8 for the remainder of the season. In a salary cap world there's no such thing as having quality depth in reserve.

I reckon they prefer Manu to fill in at fullback. Manu is still very ordinary in defence.

Unless there's a magical improvement from this Manly trial we'll finish 5th last....with top 5 only a dream.

The camp in NZ was obviously a major waste of time and money.

BB it's a top 8 these days - top 4 is important top5 hasn't been a thing since you were in your 70's

[The Lip]

Can't blame Hutch for the loss, Manly simply ran thru us at pace all match.
Down our wing, thru our centres, thru our forwards, made us look like amateurs just learning the game.

Where was Momirovski?

No wasn't blaming Hutch - just saying he's not first grade standard. We had plenty of other poor performers. Thankfully it's just a trial - we will come good I reckon.

When I see the halves out and JWH out and Hutch at 6 I know we are pretty much ****ed

Slomo missed the bus there were two buses at the stop and he got on the wrong one.

mind you , we had a ton of cattle not at Gosford , right ?, JWH, Sammy, Ang, Lukey, SuperManu, Momo, Watson, Sitili, and Su'alli got his noggin scrambled...so there's that

What's the go with Momo? Is he injured? Even he would have been handy out wide last night.

[The Lip]

Totally agree with you on this one..

I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot and a teammate abused Radley for an error he made, if Radley would take it as graciously as the players he has verbally abused..

Somehow I don’t think so!

I reckon it was fine - who threw it? I'm not sure ignoring a shit pass from a youngster ( if it was) is the way to go. Make people accountable for their performance - he didn't go overboard he just let him know we expect more than that especially when the comeback was on. Shit if he had laughed it off and high fives the guy it would be worse imo

Mate Momo hasn't shown us he's handy at all.

Radley trying out a new tactic of costing us games with aggression towards his own teammates. I recall he was abusive to Walker late last year. Robbo needs to kick this bloke in the nuts before he creates disharmony in the side.

Ex players were praising Victor for slamming Sammy W for trying selfish flashy things. Jwh also joined in. He then turned his form around after that game and focused on the team play more.

Standards need to be set, throwing a pass like that in an actual nrl game in that same scenario would be completely unacceptable. Gotta let them know. Listening to players these days, it’s pretty common to give players mouthfuls like that when they bugger up

My recollection is the other way around. JWH had already called Walker out for nearly butchering a try, and Radley then put the boot in after the point had already been made.

Very true.

It’s the biggest secret in rugby league. Just wait till you hear what happened with him.

Manly would have scored another 4 tries if Momo was there.

Radley has no right to get up anyone considering his sin bin brain explosions to disadvantage the team last 2yrs.

it needs someone to give him.a serve this year after he trots off to the bin again.

He has an ongoing back problem, still a few weeks away.

Rads needs to have a think about why he had to pretend to be a pom to make up for the fact he's gone from the best lock in the game to arguably not even Top 5. Hasnt had a dominant game for 3 seasons. He should put his head down. He ain't the guy to set the standards around the place until he can get his own house in order.
