Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Broncos

[Bates]

Toia is a machine!

If we can get he and Billy Smith fairly injury free then we are well and truly covered in the centres..

What a player!

He'll be the best centre in the comp one day.

[Carlos Parra]

Of course as you bet on the Roosters to miss the 8 and finish last so you would be happy with the start to the season as your bet is in play in your mind - As solid as a supporter as liquid water

It shows he has a brain and is not blind to reality.

When do Roosters NRLW Squad start playing .

[Thirteen]

50. Doesn’t that mean we won’t win the comp.

[Rooster1908]

To be fair, scoring 3 tries at least gave me something to like about the game. At that point I don't think we needed boring, long kicks with the purpose of trying to delay the inevitable 'next try'. We needed to have a dig and do something for the fans, which we did...

Mate it was 50 to 14 , there was nothing to like

[King Salvo]

Leaving with 25min to go and there are literally thousands walking out to the carpark. Embarrassing

Rob toia looks good, just a shame the winger outside him still doesn’t know how to play the sport

[BraveTheWorld]

Atrocious and embarrassing. If we cop too many of these this season, Robbo will be fighting to keep his job at best.

We need to rebuild, specifically, our underbelly. It has been getting progressively softer for some time. I'm not sure how you go about doing that, but that needs to get sorted before anything technical.

50 in Round 1 with 10 minutes to go is ****ing embarrassing.

Going for the short 10 off kick off when we are 40-8 down and 46-8 down tells you everything you need to know, we’re more concerned about trying to attack than defend. There’s a point where it becomes about pride and damage limitation. At 46-8 you should not be concerned with getting the ball back off a kick off so that you can attack.

How did we think we could compete with the players we lost and no recruitment

Mind boggling really

[Andrew Walker]

Thank Christ that shit show is over

[Carlos Parra]

What a farking weird offside call. Games over and we setup a mad consolation try. Ref finds an unrelated, questionable technicality to kill it with...

If any more evidence was required that the NRL has been infiltrated by corrupt cheats, this game proves it. Easts were frigging useless, but that ref should be licking windows somewhere.

[Rooster1908]

He should do the honorable thing and resign.

Fall on a sword would be better . Literally fall

[Big Dog]

How did we think we could compete with the players we lost and no recruitment

A lot of folks didn't think we'd be competitive this year. Just not the ones making the decisions at the club.

[Carlos Parra]

This has become dire.
