Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Bulldogs

[Big Dog]

Dogs very, very lucky to win off our errors. We can be a top team but for our terrible errors.

We have been rather error prone for sometime. When we don't make silly errors we have been dominant.

[HunchoRooster]

I’m not going hard on the coach with that given the team made so many unforced errors but what the farrk was that rotation? I thought Spencer was injured. Came on with basically 5 mins to go. Needed him on far sooner with those momentum swings.

[roosterchook]

Sandon’s kick got us 2 in front but an unlucky dropped ball cost us the game. Errors always seem to be our lot even though the roster has changed many times over the years. Robbo has been the only constant with every undisciplined error ridden roster. He’s doing something wrong when all the teams under him keep losing due to errors.

This is why DCE is a absolute must signing...might be able to stop the chook choking...like tonight..

[Big Dog]

lol...u retarded crustacean....take control of ur emotions u dribbler.

Mark Nuffy's 3 drops cost us de game u epic dope...2 resulted in tries so get a dog up ya.

Not me thanks

[Mickie Lane]

Great game and great effort to go toe to toe with top of the table.

But our defence just isn't there yet, it was always going to be a case of holding the Dogs to 2-3 tries to beat them and we just weren't good enough. Some really soft line breaks up the middle which was disappointing to see.

I told you it was a 50/50 game, it could have gone either way.

[HunchoRooster]

You couldn't play NRL even if you owned the team

MMM explain who was not defending as required when the Dogs scored their tries and who put the defence under pressure by dropping those bombs resulting in at lest 2 Dogs tries

Dom’s in ressies buddy get over it.

[John Corey]

[Rocky Rhodes]

Wow that hurts. 2pts put through the shredder. Literally an 18pt swing from fundamental/unforgivable errors.

- Toia dropping it over the line
- Toia butchering an overlap. Mark was over untouched.
- Egan Butcher dropping it cold despite being on the field for less than 10 mins.

Dogs did nothing to win that game other than capitalise on our horrid errors. Not even counting the dropped bombs from Mark.

Hard to be angry though when we turned up and showed so much intensity. Played so well in patches. This one hurts.

[King Salvo]

Sandon smith ****ing sucks. He’s just an out and out reserve grader who crumbled under pressure every ****ing time.

his decision making on the tackle after a line break is consistently terrible. He throws the wrong pass when inside the attacking 20 more often than not. His short long kicking is atrocious and his short kicking is hit or miss.

While this pigmy is in out team we will basically be the wests tigers with Luke brooks

MMM explain who was not defending as required when the Dogs scored their tries and who put the defence under pressure by dropping those bombs resulting in at least 2 Dogs tries.

65% set completions - 30/46

[BTRD]

A really poor second half by us. 4 soft tries let in.

Why bring Spencer on with 8 to go - too late.

Gotta get Wong and Angus into holes. Billy S wasted tonight.

Anyway, it's on again next week.

[Rooster1908]

So Marky Mark who played fantastic drops 2 bombs , butcher and Collins knock on , Angus looses the ball . And Robinson fails to bring Spencer back on till 73rd min and somehow some of you think Sandon lost us that game .

[Chook2]

Unfortunately Marky N did a complete dom uoung tonight

2 great tries but **** me he made 6 errors
