Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[Eggspert]

Did Sam play any footy this weekend? If no, why? Can’t improve if he’s not on the park.

We are saving him for our last 8 games we need to win to just make the top 8.

We don't want him injured before that.

Sam left the field last week concussed.

No...Robbo said at the presser that Sam was crook this weekend, and thats why he didn't have a run.

[Marce]

What was that 3th Cowboys try??? The most stupid thing I've ever seen

Sam left the field last week concussed.

For completeness... he passed the HIA but was 'crook' this week.

SO, walked into Lang Park ,got to our seats , watched the tiges win, then, came the downpour with added hail right on kickoff , and it went down hill from there , the boys were definitely more organised at the captains run the day before, Im fairly certain that we all thought that this would be 3 points and it was, except Todd Payten got 'em ....we were literally running around like headless chooks , honestly about the only chooks worth a good goddamn were Ang, Lodgy, William Smith esq and Jared whatta Hardarse (especially for not telling Klein to go **** himself after that stiff arm that should of been a 5 min bin at minimum) Lukey and Cheese had absolutely nothing to work with

NOW, I hate the ****ing fact that the bunker slows everything down to 1/100,00,00 of a frame to FIND a decision, BUT im fairly certain the nimrod in the bunker changed his mind twice after making a ruling, sounded like it at the ground anyway .....should Sammy walker be brought back, who knows , but Robbo needs to get out a packet of skyrockets and fire em somewhere discreet at the next training day and that includes himself copping one as well

Why won’t Robbo fix the errors? At a press conference he said he was happy with our discipline. But today was reported 16 errors!! If Robbo keeps Walker away and doesn’t do something pronto about errors then I think sadly we need a new coach. Actually I’m thinking it was Fitzy who made us. Robbo, even with a full roster just doesn’t have a clue.

WHAT!
Happy with our discipline?
It was a mistake a thon...as usual.
Bad passes, dropped ball, dragged player, a high tackle.

Robbo is a nice guy...think he was probably just trying to support his players.
Our playing roster is not up to finals footy standard, let alone top 4.
Most of the players from our glory days pre "Rugba Leeg" have departed.
Some departed before replacements were ready.
Liu
SST
Did they really have to go?
Now we're gonna send Lodge packing.
We got rid of Suluka-Fifita, he's with the winners Souths.
We moved Tapuha out.
Now we have a small pack/team that gets run over every game.
We have "rookies" everywhere...
'learners'...
Walker
Suaalii
Paulo
Egan Butcher
May
Whyte
etc
Cows etc have Origin and International players...they ran all over us.
Dolphins ran riot, Test and Origin players, recruited by Bennett and POS.
There are lessons here for us:
. Big is better...look at those muscular and experienced Cowboys.
. When Russell Fairfax and Laurie Freier were coaching us it was "16 yr olds versus the men".
It looks like that again now.

I’m not feeling confident about this tragic round game due to officialdom and the powers that be who want a clean sweep by QLD teams. It’s farcical that the Broncos were given an away game this weekend.

So a Qld clean sweep and certainly a tragic round. In the mean time the NRL quoted in say they protecting their officials at all costs following the Warriors boss claiming bias by the officials.
The game is a circus now and I dread what it will be like in 20 years. - a Broadway Show ?
