Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Dolphins

[Chook2]

Solid win
Some great tries and a beauty disallowed - apart from 10-15 minutes of poor footy allowing dolphins back in the game with multiple errors

3. Rob toia - this guys will play origin very soon. Shame he is a Queenslander - made 180mtr. 2 tries and try assist with 7 tackle busts - rarely see players get over Herbie Farnworth
2. Teddy - blitzed it again
1. rads holds the team together and Whyte made a casual 180mtr

Marky was solid bar the couple of errors, same with Angus! Watson and Spencer were strong
savala certainly stood up with Sandon going down

how good to get back to back wins going into a week off

[Rooster_6]

Clocked off a bit in the last 20 but doesn't take away from what was a very strong performance and an important 2 points leading into the bye next week.

Teddy & Toia take it out of the ref's hands with those runs. They can BS us out of a game if it's close but can't stop slill like that.

Hey WTF is with Billy Slater talking us up and death-riding the Dolphins? Almost sounds personal as every time I hear him commentating us he hates our guts.

He’s still bitter from 2018 when the NRL bent the rules to allow him to play his swan song GF and they got pumped by us. Fark Bilby Slater.

Toia will be the leading try scorer when Sammy returns.

He is a machine.

[Bates]

Teddy is playing like it’s 2018

Comfortably the best fullback in the game again.

Will he play SOO?

[mightyrooster]

Another good win. Let in a few too many tries near the end but the team is progressing well.

pleasing win. the way we came out in the second half was special. toia's best game for us and who knows how good he'll get.
not easy losing a half but we didn't miss a beat. went in at half time not leading by as much as we should have but started the second half on fire.
phins are a great attacking team but our defence was great in the first hour

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I'm looking forward to the replay

[Mickie Lane]

Connor Watson & Docker Clay were outstanding being put in position they were put in.
Watson is a champion he just tries so hard all game.

[The Brain]

Teddy must not play SOO..he needs to lead this bunch.
Great win a bit shaky there for 20 mins but played a man down so got a little sloppy .
Whyte my man once he masters Jarrod's elbow he will be the man

He’s the type of player anyone would love to play with. Fitness tests, attitude, versatility, effort, execution etc he is almost annoyingly good at everything he does. Stud.

Good call on Connor and ZDC. ZDC was solid all game and I don’t think we lost anything with him at 9. I’m surprised he hasn’t played more FG in his career. Connor played well at 6 without overplaying his hand; bloody awesome defence tonight.

Hell of a mo as well.

Bobby T will probably get a bit more focus this week but geez Billy Smith is an excellent left centre. If he can stay on the park, he Toia and Whyte could be anything - they look like special players

[Recky62]

Yeah yeah, they reeled us back in a bit ..BUT….a win is a win is a win ,…bonz ,
all the Phin heads around us left before the partial comeback, …Bobby Tonia MoM
