Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[John Corey]

Watching fox right now, they just interviewed Mitchell...... he says , I guess they are all coming to watch ME.
Samson calls it TRELLIANZ..... I hate the way she speaks, so blooody programmed

god I hope we win this. I reckon we are a chance, but what if we had Angus, Lodge, Sitili and Brown available ??
Win or lose this one, we will finish better than these pretenders this year.

In fairness to him, he was saying that in reference to the question about how he expected Roosters fans to treat him. It wasn't a boast. He was meaning they were all there to boo him.

I don't know if we'll win or lose but a bit gross to see people death riding the team in here with one even suggesting we'll lose by 30? Definitely not entitled to celebrate if the Roosters do win it tonight...

Fixed it for you.

Love the move of JWH to the bench

Having either one of JWH or Collins on the field all the time will make a positive difference. It would be a big ask of Baker and May to the hold the front line for 30 mins themselves in a game like this one.

Let's go boys. This is always a cracking game. I reckon it'll be tight, and if we can hold the pill and complete sets, our talent in the back 7 will finish the job.

Devastated I'll be stuck in the office till half time though

Roosters by 2.

I'm hoping we improve on last week, I think we can win but not confident because of the narrative.

Could fire our season getting a win here.

[mightyrooster]

I hope Smith is fit enough to play and we’re not wasting a spot on the bench.

[A Country Member]

Would like to see a simple game plan and hold the ball. Keen to see Fletcher Baker start well again. Also want the halves to give Manu and Suaalii good clean, early ball

[Rooster1908]

Not loving JWH off the bench myself .The old bull gets more aggressive sitting and watching.Hooe he can control it .If he does and Rads keeps on the field we should win Go Roosters

[ARD]

Let’s rip into these pricks, come on!

[stringaz]

Geez I hope that dudes ok

[stringaz]

Great starting set

[Lydon]

Come on JS,you had an unmarked Tupou outside

[milanja]

Golden opportunity and Manu is on another planet.

[RoosterFanNZ]

can already tell their team is so use to each other.

decent start with dumb pressure release

[Ray Stehr]

They didn't beat us for 10 years from 1995 till 2005 so we should strive to make them our bunnies again. It's time we righted the ship.
