Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sharks

[weplayforprems]

We will obviously win this if we play half decent in the next 40. The Sharks aren't threatening at all.

But this discipline issue or so called is beyond ridiculous. Sharks getting leg ups out of their half constantly.

How can one team be so perfect & the other not?

there’s decades of evidence that teams are miraculously perfect against us.

Nothing will ever change with the refereeing of our games until our club does something about it.

[Johnny Brass]

Did well to hang on at the end and come back from the early deficit. Must admit most of those leg up penalties were warranted and dumb footy on our behalf.
We looked good in the red zone with limited opportunities, nice hole running from Egan and Cheese a beast from dummy half.
JWH and Lindsay were strong up front, better discipline and we can get the points.
Joey Manu and Suaalii need to get more involved

[Jacks Fur Coat]

They did look like scoring when they passed it to Paulo!

Walker got decked by the guy playing the ball which helped create space for their break.

They need to ban Tallas from commenting on our games. He hates us with a passion.

Yeah saw that - palm to the chest knocked him over - wonder what the ref would have done if we did that to Haynes in the PTB

He actually just defended Nat re the hip drop - I dropped my dinner all over the floor

Grant Atkins needs to let them just play some footy, some of these penalties have been nit picking at best. Horrendous first half of footy with no flow to the play.

Hard to get a read on where the game is at, felt like we were comfortable trading sets with them until the last 5 minutes where they seemed to be getting the upper hand.

He's not on Grandstand

[Lydon]

Walker stupid error

[Monaco's Fan Club]

Manu.. shit defence

[roosterchook]

Woeful comedy of errors and missed tackles. We are in very poor form for the amount of stars in our team.

[King Salvo]

This will go down to the wire

[roosterchook]

Fitzy is a great defensive coach. No easy points here.
