Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[BTRD]

Just crap again. Surely give May, Whyte a chance. Lodge is now crap - I have a feeling Robinson coach's the skill and ability out of players. What a debacle.

[Sentimentinel]

Nat wouldn't scare any defence with ball in hand. He is a myth and unfortunately we will be stuck with the soft carnt for years

Speed will win the comp this year. I have this opinion watching the Broncos play. Unfortunately I think some players have been caught out with this and Nats one of them.

He makes a ton of tackles sure, but in attack he suffers. Adding hutcho to the backline and keeping Manu out of it slows us up even more.

Bring on Spencer "bathtime" Leniu and Dom Young.

[Intercept]

Searching for positives....Sitili has come back well - I like him in the middle. Pauga doing an admirable job. Tupou got through unscathed (cramping up a bit at the end). Sandon Smith got some minutes. Manu finished the game in the centres. This could be rock bottom!

[Vasco]

There's some hope with returning players but you'd have to be the ultimate optimist to think we're a chance of anything this year.

No, there's no hope.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Robbo needs to go for quality players not crap who can put in a good effort but have zilch talent or impact ala Butchers. This team is not gonna get better with so many crap players in it. We basically have half a reserve grade side playing 1sts.

Butcher brothers in second row and sitili in the middle. Which one of them can hit the line and burst through?

[mattyh]

so it appears this year might be done ✔️...but there are still the bare bones of a good team in there
teddy
tups
manu ...back at centre
b Smith
d young
keary ...hope he hasn't gone a year to long
walker ...back please
radley ....discipline aside kid can play
Crichton...if he recovers form
tuponiua / n buther horses for courses
Collins
b Smith...I don't think he has been terrible this year
jwh/leniu

e butch
one of jwh/leniu
t may
watson/hutch ...

things I'm concerned about ...jwh, keary a year to long?
teddy not quite past it
is there alack of athleticism / speed in the side

sualli ...maybe there / maybe not

the night is always darkest before the dawn....we won't finish last this year, hard to see us making the 8, but we are never down for long these days

[ARD]

Turpin 47, Nat 51, Egan 40, Collins 31

[Johnny Brass]

He's old but still much loved JWH.

Gave Spencer a cold shower. Lol.

Unfortunately they gave us a golden shower

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Hard to watch cos I think the overwhelming majority of guys are bustin a butt.

Keary tried everything, Teddy too (still wish he would use the hands more though), Turps played 80 I think tried hard, Manu a little better, great to have Toups back.

Start Sandon in the halves please Robbo next dig. Him and Luke together should work.

50% of NRL players are Polynesian and our team coached by a Francophile looks like a true indication of the Eastern Suburbs.

How do we take 6min out of a game & make it a 74min game?

Has it been done before in the history of the game?

For 74 minutes of the game the Roosters showed they could compete with Penrith - 12-6 the score line in that period

That 6 minute period with tries conceded in the 46th , 49th and 52nd minute was telling scoreboard and match result wise as all can see

When the game is reviewed in it's entirety there will be positives and negatives identified in the performances of individuals and the team as a collective.

The same as in a workplace with performance reviews - would there only be discussions about the few mistakes you may have made during the review period and no discussions on where you met expectations in the performance of your role.

Keary still shows a lot of class. He just needs a consistent halves partner who is actually a half.

Hahaha and if my Aunty had balls she'd be my Uncle. What a farking stupid post

clearly shows you have no idea

Dear god, and you have the temerity to call everyone on here who you don't agree with, dribblers.
