Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[DP1990]

Why the f*ck do they keep flirting that bloody close to the sideline !?!?

Wtf are they doing !!!

[ARD]

The effort and character without ball has been first class. With the ball it’s silly stuff.

Thats a knock on from Savage for mine; biased I might be

[ism22]

Raiders pack are hitting us hard meanwhile our boys are missing tonight.

Go after them FFS !!!

WTF's with all the errors too?

VERY lucky call there on that offside. We're gonna need to lift in the 2nd half.

[fletch]

I have absolutely no idea how we are a try ahead after watching that first half.

[ism22]

Well fark me!!! I'm loving it but two VERY lucky calls led to that Tedesco try after we had zero ball IMO. Hope that's enough to fire us up!!!

Karma after what happened to Radley, Walker and Brandon last time we played them in Sydney?

[ARD]

Egan gets plenty of detractors on here but anyone with eyes need to recognise his two runs in that final set were outstanding

[DP1990]

How the bloody hell did we go into the break with the lead is beyond me.

We'll take it but we gotta smarten up in the next 40mins because the Raiders will not back down.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Christ this is stressing me out

[fletch]

We certainly got the rub of the green in that first half plus I can't remember the last time where we had to do so much defense yet only gave away a single penalty.

[mightyrooster]

We are playing with a lot of effort but making too many silly mistakes. I hope all this defence isn’t going to come back to bite the team in the second half. We must control possession. Hope Rads is ok. I’m surprised it wasn’t ruled an instant category one.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Wowee....to be leading 12-4 after that disparity in possession and territory is a minor miracle Our defence and fight has been ridiculous.

Too many errors! We have just made life so difficult for ourselves. If we had the shots in territory that the Raiders had, we would be leading comfortably.

Rob and Mark are so dangerous on our right, gotta ride the waves.

All our forwards and Hugo my standouts at Oranges.

We always have cliffhangers against this mob, and controversy. Because neither team gives up.

Strap yourself in.

[roosterchook]

Without ball we can’t win. All the play is down our end. Maybe we defended fantastic but we’re putting too much pressure on ourselves. A tired second half and the Raiders will easily win if we don’t fix our errors.

[BTRD]

Hang in there Chooks.

Tackle Tackle Tackle.
