Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Eels

They said cat 2 for teddy initially, so why the rubbish talk about missing next week?!

[Lydon]

Good finish to the half Easts!

This ref is underdone.

No 6 agains.

Amateur.

Whyte having his best game by far

His future may be in the middles with us - A bit more speed than May?

TBF I think we’ve had to go left given they’ve been one short there for 20 mins.

Of course, it's what you do, but without Manu I think we'll be doing it mostly regardless of the numbers

[Eggspert]

A player who takes out another player through foul play who then fails a HIA should be removed from the game themselves

100% agree.

We've lost Teddy's brilliance for 60min while they lose a player for 10min.

Should be removed from the game & down to 3 on the bench.

Games like this make you love footy. Fast and physical.

Lads have come back cookin from the bye. Its a credit to Parra that they have stayed with us in the physical battle, we would have blown a lesser team away.

All good. Lovin the difference Cheese is providing out of dummy half. Suallii, Toups and Paulo all great digs. Forwards all contributing. Execution not always perfect but Parras dee impacted on that too.

Lets see if we can maintain this intensity for the trip.

The ref is corrupt

So does that mean Teddy is out next week as well? It was deemed a category 2 but seeing as though he failed his HIA does that under the new 11 day stand down rule mean he is out next week regardless of it being cat 2? I can't keep up with these changing rules

[Jacks Fur Coat]

God, you just wish you could sprinkle some fairy dust on him so he was faster. However his wrapping around Paulo for his try was excellent

Paulo the man there, gathered 3 of them in and silver serviced Hutch.

[gragra]

I get the sentiment but it’s just another thing coaches would exploit. Could you imagine the first time Cleary or Tedesco accidentally head highs some bench plodder no name? Every coach is gonna get that player to pretend they’re buggered

Maybe the 10 min should be 15min for an hia as that's how long the assessment takes and if he fails then + another 10.

He's got SST movement about him

Chooks have looked good but then again they have played half the first have against 12 men.
The hit on Teddy was accidental IMO, Teddy was not standing upright & Simonsson was, its all happening so fast, no malice in it.

Concede a try off The back of the most contrived six again you'll see ffs
