Official ANZAC DAY Match Thread: Roosters v Saints

[redstarforever]

The radley sin bin really worries me ! That was the worst call ive ever seen … if thats even a charge then we r in huge trouble

lol could not have been more accidental. it was a fricken head clash

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Saints outscored us 5 tries to 4, we were lucky to win, nothing impressive about it except we got the 2 points. I thought Keary played well, Smith andCollins as well, Jared got smashed. Whyte went well, but we JUST won. If Toops is out we need to put Suaali back on the wing and Manu back to centre, Walker back to half.... dropping him proved nothing.

[The Monk]

How hard did the refs try though....seriously .

[The Marshall]

Walker tackles much better than Keary. Two tries in a row through him. Dropped the wrong half?

Ridiculous statement, Keary’s defence is much stronger

[The Marshall]

Any word on Tupes, losing him for an extended period would a concern

[redstarforever]

A relief in the end but that 8 minute period where we conceded 3 tries was terrible. I’m still not convinced that last Moga try was a try either. The Radley binning was also a joke.

that was my thoughts too. fvckin sus as

[Eggspert]

Can Radley be charged for saying it was a shit decision

His Fox interview might land him in more trouble than that bulls##t decision possibly.

[Rooster36]

Absolutely disgusting decision

The funny thing is half the chookpen were loving the decision

[Spirit of 66]

How hard did the refs try though....seriously .

Really, really hard. Apart from the mandatory rescue penalties whenever they were in their own half and given six agains in our quarter, their defence was allowed to stand in a jagged line 3m offside. We could easily have been up 36-6 at half time. But that would rob the TV viewing audience of a spectacle.

[Steggles]

I know that Suaallii didn't play on the wing for the whole match, but our left edge was poor in defence. They always had an overlap when they took the ball to their right.

Suaalii is a winger and struggles to read the defence at centre. Keary missed a heap of tackles out there. Then we brought Hutch on and he straight away missed a tackle for a Dragons try. We need specialist centres to play centre. Robbo needs to get this sorted as we will be towelled up by the better teams.

[Crab]

Awesome game, one for the ages ! So proud to support the Sydney Roosters, their pride in our Jersey today was ferocious !!!

We need specialist centres to play centre. Robbo needs to get this sorted as we will be towelled up by the better teams.

He's a decent kicker though.

[King Salvo]

When Walker played we put 54+ on the dragons. Suuali let in 3 tries. He was the last line of defense. Both Suuali and Radley need to be sacked. Dragons were much better. We are a walking errorathon. If Robbo can’t fix that we won’t make the 8. More penalties and another sin bin. Bring Walker back.

Not sure what a game from last year has to do with anything myself - that score was 54-26

Still a WIP - 1st half good - second half poor as the stats show - 40 missed tackles

[Rooster_6]

Did we watch the same game? Manu was pretty ineffective in attack. He's a better centre than 5/8th.

Keary's defence was really poor.

Don't forget we played the Dragons who are an absolute rabble, not the Panthers, Storm or Broncos. They still managed to score 5 tries though our paper thin defence out wide.

Keary was not the issue in defence. There’s a bloke outside him who has no clue on positioning and defensive decision making.

tedesco is a legend love the way he approaches the refs on lame calls with his two cents. "if that was anyone else it'd be no penalty"

ref: not going down that path with you now

what a grub
