Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Steggles]

Nat butcher double but he's no good ? Lol

Butch has been great. Maybe doing less defence makes a difference?

[Crab]

That's 60 ,ya happy Jizxy ?

[PLV012]

Salute boys on Anzac Day!

The extra week rest did Walker wonders. MOTM

[Teddy]

Brilliant across the park great performance Easts!!!

[Jacks Fur Coat]

We really needed this today. The boys kind of found themselves a bit and had fun. It will be great to see some smiles in the dressing room again. And what a day to pick to get some of our mojo back.

Luv seeing guys who have been copping it stand up and have their moments...Sammy, Nat Butch, Kez and Dom Young. Including from me!

Today is a day Sam Walker will never forget. Well done young man.

Yes Saints were awful. But the confidence and momentum shift we can get from today is very important. Plus some handy cattle to come back too.

Enjoy the rest of your day Roosters fans and celebrate.

Obviously the acolades will go to Walker and deservedly, but gee I'd like to make mention of a few others. Connor Watson in particular is having a blinder of a year, and was easily one of the best on ground.

Smith, Suaalii, Manu, Jared and Whyte I thought were all fantastic. Maybe better than fantastic. No-one played poorly but there were some really exceptional performances.

I hope this gives them a bit of confidence going forward. The less structured style seems to suit Walker to a T. Bodies in motion, high effort, but also not particularly excessive with risks taken, I didn't think. I don't feel as though we threw possession away as carelessly as usual.

Enjoy the win everyone!

I’m looking forward to us putting in that sort of brilliant performance against Penrith and Melbourne; we have the potential to lap them too when we’re on. The key is Sam Walker owning the team and confidently playing what’s in front of him.

The old rugby league week player scores would of given him 15 out of 10.

10/10 goal kicking was outstanding too.

How good will it be if Souths lose

[roosterchook]

Big question is can we be consistent? I don’t expect 60 point wins but I’d like to see us win many more. If this match is a sign of things to come then it’s showing us just how crucial Walker is for our attack. I remember we thrashed saints when Walker played but when he was dropped we only won by a point . He seems to inspire the entire team.

A great game to break the self-imposed ban for.
