Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[Waylander]

It hurts like hell when we lose to this mob. I can't stand them.

I'm quite nervous about tonight. I'd better buy some more beer on the way home from work ....

[bondi.boy]

Wave your white flag if you like but any game against Souths means a lot. I don’t care what round, where or when, we must beat them!

It's just a game of footy...not an invasion by a foreign country.
Our team will try its best to win, but if it doesn't please don't go home and kick the cat and rip the front door off its hinges.
Not the poor cat's fault whatever happens in footy games...and tomorrow morning you'll have to fix the door.

[bondi.boy]

We can win the game...if our wingers stay on their wings in defence...and stop Johnston from waltzing up the sideline and scoring tries like he does almost every game.
Souths stack their left side in defence, and run Latrell thru the centres for tries.
Everybody knows it, but it just keeps happening.

Number 1 I’ll kick the dog as I have a dog not a cat.
Number 2 My wife will fix the door cause she’s handier than me.

BB being positive?
What’s going on?!

I do look forward to your post match rants after a loss. One of the positives after losing.

Poor Jaxson will tested under the high ball all night tonite. The grubs will lay down for every thing and get in walkers face all night and he will lose his 5hit.
and looking forward to fox bias calling of the game

[Mickie Lane]

Go the Chooks.
It should be a great game, can’t wait.

[The Lip]

Not waving white flag. If we put up a limp display we'll get destroyed and that'll hurt and i'll be on here tonight raging. But if we play decently and lose a close one, I'll be ok. It's Rd 3. They care more about beating us than we do about beating them. That's because they don't have much else to live for. We have premierships to win.

Yep and that's why we lose to them 80% of the time in the past 3 years. I'm sick of losing to these pricks - I don't think losing to them makes the rest of the season any easier- in fact I think a win will be a big mental boost and a loss will be followed up with a few more. Big game tonight momentum wise. I hope we are up for it because if we are not they will bash us physically and mentally. We need this win tonight.

I don't like cats very much but do have one and we called it Cody!

if we win tonight he might even get a feed

Jaxson has been very good - he will do well tonight

No doubt it will be Voss calling, the self confessed vermin supporter.

[mightyrooster]

It will be tough with our depleted and underdone forward pack. I'm just hoping for no injuries, send offs or suspensions. Hoping for a win too of course but not overly confident.

[Paddo Colt 61]

Whilst unspectacular the side kept it together last week against a monster pack and with some of those missing then, back for this, we are an outside chance (hopefully The Cheese will find some form) but realistically, Souffs players seem to feel the hate much more than ours do. Cody, as usual in these rival games, is the main hurdle but if we can start as we did in last year's elimination but not get roped in again, who knows?

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Huge test for young Sam Walker, Souths are going to try to smash and bully him, we need to do the same to their half, and Cody Walker. Gonna be hard because Smith won't be at his best, neither will JWH, we really need leadership and a smart game plan, and courage.
I hope we have it.

[roosterchook]

The team that lost 60-8 was a better one than the one running out tonight. We had Cords, Friend, SST, SBW and Angus and still got cooked. As a team I think souths have just way too much class. Souths by 30. I’d love us to cause a major upset but can’t see it happening. Our current form is well below most teams in the comp. Against souths our D defense seems to be decimated and never able to contain them. It’s all about top defense tonight otherwise another embarrassment. Robbo has to get the Bondi wall back.
