Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[Bates]

4 minutes to go, Newcastle shift to the left, Dom aligns himself perfectly, slides and sticks with his man. Finally!

I'd like to wish him all the best for the future.

[Mickie Lane]

Nah that play the ball was obvious. Fair call. There was one exactly the same last night also called.

Amazing defensive effort by the boys. I was worried all the errors and defence in the first half would come back to bite us but we held strong.

Great game in Dom's farewell. Thanks for the memories. Some good. Plenty of bad too.

Rads Rads Rads.....you're a tough nut but FM how many more.

Ebutch a couple of errors but another tough nut. Can't knock his commitment. He'll be sore for a month.

Teddy so happy you are NSW second best fullback.

Ugly game but we won the grind in the end. Important to get wins like that.
Bank the 2 points and onto next week.

Maybe but it was still the turning point for the Chooks IMO.
Im just glad the Chooks won.
It wasnt pretty but we had 5 top notch players out plus Sammy & we lost 6 top notch from last year so overall Im pretty impressed with where the club/team is at.
We're in the 8 with a young raw talented side who can beat any team on their day, Im just loving all the new players that have come in & are exceeding most peoples expectations including mine.

[Mr Whippet]

Yes was messy, penalties ? goes with the territory for the Chooks, nonetheless our defense..top shelf. That's 2 out of 2 without the Origin contingent.

[Roosterfarian]

FMD you’re tedious. Same crap all the time. R6 said they are one of the worst ATTACKING teams, & you go on about their defence. They are the only team to score less than 200 points this season, with only one bye. They are 30 points behind the next worse team. Their attack is rubbish, which was the entire point of R6 post.

Maybe you could explain how we won with 46% possession and double digit errors, contrary to your mandatory requirements? (Just like our win against the Sharks, BTW.)

absolute **** of a human being he is.

[Bansai Pipeline]

That game was there for the losing but we pulled it off.

despite their ladder position, beating Newcastle at Marathon is never easy.

Big win in the context of our season. If we’d gone down would have been bad for us.

[Vasco]

How quick was Sutton to award the try to the Knights winger even though he got up telling his teammates that he didn't ground it.

His dislike of the Roosters is so blatant.

Despite all the dumb play we somehow won the game. Goal line defence was excellent and has been for most of the season.

[BTRD]

All the best to Dom Young. Very strange all of it. Not a good look from our club in my opinion.

I guess young Rodwell will play before Origin 3.

[King Salvo]

Your counter to my claim that they're one of the worst attacking sides of this decade is that they're not a bad attacking side because they defend well?

I don't even know where to start with that...

Of course you don't

Even someone with a basic knowledge of the game would understand that a team with a 4 or 5 current ranking in defence is hard to beat and score against. -Whether they can score enough points to win games is a different matter depending of course in who they play against as far as defence ranking goes.

[Vasco]

Steep's work off the bench was phenomenal again.

You are a deadset Mong!

[Vasco]

We've won 1 penalty count so far this season. Hilarious.

[Recky62]

Well, we defended out buttocks off and grinded out a win , so that’s a bit of alright, Eggy Butcher must feeling a ton of wet shit about now I reckon …..oh and to finish
ALL HAIL THE SIDESTEP

[ism22]

Worst case it was a penalty try, you could see the Knights player pulling his jersey back and Wong still got to the ball first.

What are they even whinging about though? They're acting as if Wong had the ball in hand and failed to control it during the grounding.

Reality? Teddy did a grubber, he chased, Newie tried to hold him back and he still got to it. Doesn't matter even if it was his forearm as he just had to get to it first? Weird...
