Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Bulldogs

[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.

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

[Rocky Rhodes]

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Not me thanks

haha..not u mate...just the crustacean

[Andrew Walker]

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 .

Not quite More think his decision making in the last nine minutes was terrible Started with us up 20-18 attacking their line on the first tackle and he throws a forward pass We don’t touch it again till we are down 24-20 Shit kick on the last then another inexplicable kick the next set The thing is one of either Sandon or Hugo go when Walker returns I really hope it’s Sandon

[QWERTY]

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

Walker will be back though…I think we win if he is paired with Savala.

[Mickie Lane]

Would we have won if DCE was playing?

[A Country Member]

Tough loss, was there for the taking but wasn’t to be. A couple of crucial errors proved costly.

Savala’s second half wasn’t what we needed. Bench rotation was slightly off too.

Still, they can hold their heads high. Won’t hurt too much

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

No matter who leaves and how many new players come into the team the errors have never gone away. So disappointing.

[A Country Member]

Would we have won if DCE was playing?

If Hugo’s second half matched his first, especially the long kicking game, no

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Can anyone explain why Vic didn't hit Xerri on that inside run....he was close enough to give him a kiss n cuddle. Was he called offside or expecting him him to step back off the right foot? Can't work it out.

[Bansai Pipeline]

We did good.

middle defence went to hell after Spence went off.

Burton’s kicking game was the difference.

the Dogs are way ahead of the comp and at the beginning of the season I predicted spoon for us.

we are over performing.

anyone whinging about about this being a loss hasn’t been around long enough to know their arse from their elbow
