Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[stringaz]

What's with taking forever to check their challenges too?! Letting them suck in the big ones

im absolutely shook from that reffing in the last 30 seconds

[elo]

Sutton really is something else.

[bondi.boy]

Sutton strikes again

A Sutton special if ever I've seen one

The refereeing is sub standard with decisions like that. The ball was stripped while we were on the ground. Should have been Easts penalty. We are a bit improved but mainly it’s individual brilliance that’s got us on the scoreboard.

That strip was not legal. Tackle was made with May on the ground. He can't pass from that position so how can Murray strip the ball from there.

[Lydon]

Damian Cook at halftime admitting the game changed with JWH and Smith coming on and changing the momentum..

Come on Easts!

Jesus wept tallis slurs his word. how have they got this buffoon as a half time expert haha

[MCMLXVI]

The rules of RL are far too open to subjective decisions.

[Jarlicho]

Gotta keep Keary at marker more when we’re defending our line. Can’t let him continue to get isolated by their forwards.

that strip wasnt subjective, more like ref wasnt watching or paying attention

[stringaz]

At ten nil down I still liked what I saw, even better signs we came back over the top of them at the end of the half.

Radley needs to run the ball more, let Smith tear this game apart

We look different tonight and Im hoping it can carry us to a much overdue 2pts against this lot.

The aggressions there, but its controlled. The other difference is Sutton has given us a shot so far, still 40 mins to go though.

Enjoying the shove from some of the lesser lights Baker, Paulo, May. Want to see Ted get a little more involved which is saying something for him!

Still cant believe Toups missed that tap on gimme try.

Winnable.
