Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[Eggspert]

Loved what I seen from the guys tonight. Thats why I thought we'd still get em even 10 zip down.

Baker, Butchers (esp Nat tonight), Collins Paulo and Teddy all great.

Special mention to the mercurial JWH.

Just owned that ruck when he came on. Dominant.

We were probably more dominant than the scoreline suggests.

JWH, B.Smith & Radley were huge in's tonight. How good will it be when Lodge & Angus return.

South's did split us open 3 times & probably should have scored. We still aren't where we should be defence wise.

Seen enough tonight to suggest we will be real contenders this year. Only thing that worries me is Keary and Sammy defence at times. Hoping Angus return will help that.

Everyone played their part tonight. Fantastic win.

[HunchoRooster]

Also the farrking commentary was pathetic tonight.

the Lateell knob sucking was in full force. Even when he kicked it dead they said something like "only Latrell can kick it that far". Becoming a farce

completely agree.

Angus and nat as starting second row until sitili gets back to 100% or for Nat's defensive reliability

It's so great when your team wins a game they are not favourites for. i'm proud of them tonight, they showed plenty of guts
Not perfect by any means, but that was a gutsy win
I said earlier, if we complete at 75%, make 90% of our tackles and get 50% posession we can win any game
tonight we hit those 3 targets.
They were all good, I like MAY, BAKER, PAULO,
I've bagged Turpin but he was very good,
Imagine what we can do with a full squad.
The connections will get better, and then look out, if we can avoid the injury curse, anything could happen.
So great to start the weekend this way.

when he missed the goal "I dont blame him for that"

Joey Manu face was swelling at the end of that play. Any news, should we be worried?

[player 1]

A lot of romanticising about Trell's FG attempt being "so close".

In fact a long way short and never looked a chance.

[barryd]

hahahah completely agree with you about walker. I wish the biff was allowed just so he could be put in his place

So true. Imagine Tommy Raudonikis got hold of him.

Apart from it being low wide and short it was very close to going over

[zac]

pleasing win and we've got more improvement in us than souths do

[Headless Chook]

Just scolled back through the comments from early on.....some of you guys are an absolute embarrassment and should give yourselves a timeout for future games

Go the Chooks!

I thought May played really well tonight. Continued taking the hard carry and seems to be getting better every game he plays.
