Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[Eggspert]

Robbo, said Victor is only second to Cronk in how smart a thinker he is.

Lol smart thinker.

Robbo can tell him how smart those 2tries were the Storm scored against 12 men.

Sigh ... Radley

[Johnny Brass]

What has changed the game is that BS forward pass from Rads to Collins!! Since then we’ve been on the back foot! From the scrum, Munster broke away and the rest is history

I bet that was Kasey Badger who called it

[JAF]

If we hold the ball, we win - simple as that.

C’mon Roosters!!

[milanja]

Game is still there, we looked better early on, seemed to be going around them comfortably, score first, and I think we can get them, gotta fix that right edge though.

[Eggspert]

So Radley gets the bin but nothing said about Olana late no arms tackle on Sam Walker

Yeah I saw that & wondered why no action.

Probably because we scored on that play.

[QWERTY]

That Radley ‘forward pass’ really was a turning point

[Andrew Walker]

No he isn't but he is the one that is giving penalties and 6 agains on the 4th tackle that suck the juice out of the defence and flattens you in attack.

The penalties and 6 agains are a result of fatigue due too much tackling from dropping the ball Notice how many we got last week

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Blaming Klein is a massive cop out. He didn’t make all those mistakes. He didn’t allow Munster to break the line. He didn’t tackle Munster late.

Do you honestly think we deserve to be ahead with our ridiculously low completion rates and our lack of possession?

His dud calls put them in positions to execute those plays. Two tries off a sinbin, forward pass shocker and dud 6 agains. Hard to best. He is not up to the big games.

[Rooster_6]

That's just so frustratingly stupid from Radley. 12 points scored whilst he was off, I love the way he plays and if he cops a sin bin and suspension here and there for getting a tackle wrong I think we can all accept it but he's just lazy there and put simply not a good team mate to have at the moment.

Games not over but you can probably count the sides who have overturned a two try deficit in Melbourne over the last decade and a half on one hand.

[Maxy Walker]

Radley’s a goose. Totally avoidable situation. It’s getting tiresome.

[Johnny Brass]

We were winning the forward battle until Ash got involved and our sets down their end looked really crisp and dangerous. The forwards need to block for Walker on his kicks and give him some extra time and I don't understand him kicking to Coates on our right when we have Toups and Suaalii on the opposite side of the field. I'm sure Ash will give us some 6 agains on the 1st tackle to even the count. The corrupt prick was caught out with his knock on call to Paulo, travesty that he gets the best gigs.

[DP1990]

Absolute joke of a game. Radley gets binned (fair enough the dumb ass deserved it) but the ref and even the commentators didn't say shit on Olam’s late hit on Walker before the first try ... fu*cks sake !


Piss off.

[Sentimentinel]

No he isn't but he is the one that is giving penalties and 6 agains on the 4th tackle that suck the juice out of the defence and flattens you in attack.

Some people think there can't be both things working against us at the same time.
Yes klien is a cheat and Radley did a dumb thing that was a penalty.

But I really think poor old hutch in the centres tonight is our Achilles heel.

[bondi.boy]

Big Joe is an ordinary centre too, he has no idea how to defend in the position.

Indeed.
I still can't see what all the fuss is about.
He should be on the right wing.
For this game I would've played him fullback.
All academic...Radley cost as the game, again.
All he is these days is a small forward, nothing special, a liability.
