Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[Bates]

The dopes on radio asked yesterday, is there a better contender for dally m fullback of the year than CNK from the warriors?

Teddy should be the first player picked for origin 3.

Sally, could you upload the above stats for all games this round so we can test your theory.

Souths,titans,warriors,dolphins had 2/3 of those stats mentioned in their favour but still lost the game.

[milanja]

Teddy should be the first player picked for origin 3.

Let’s hope not, we will be depleted enough against tigers.

Foketi was in everything today
and played big minutes as well.
Improves with each game.

He's cemented his spot on the bench for the remainder of the season ahead of Butchers.

My favourite player currently he's a machine and I love the all effort never give in players. I think he has to be clear of Egan Butcher but Robbo loves him he must be a good trainer.

I've been saying it since pre-season but this forward pack in18 months is going to be a problem it'll be a top 3 pack in the comp.

Whyte was enormous.

[Vasco]

Steep didn't miss a tackle again today. What a player he's going to be.

Imagine if we can keep these young guys together for the next 5 years. After 70-100 games, they would be contenders for b2b comps, IMO. There is so much talent there. Just need the experience under their belts.

[roostermcgregor]

I don’t want to be critical of Marky Marks 2nd try, but imo the kick from Toia was a low percentage option.
There was a Roosters player backing up on the inside who would have most likely have scored under the posts.
It was as clear as day at the game.
Not sure what Bobby T was thinking there, but it still came off.

[Steggles]

Well done sir.
Anymore tips?

Although you did miss the winning margin

Yes, always be good to your Mum.

Not even close on the margin, but I’m more than happy to be wrong on this occasion. The best part though was that I watched the game with my Cowboys loving son-in-law.

[HunchoRooster]

Such a pleasing performance, been a while since we played with that freedom and attacking flair. Could’ve had even more, nearly everyone played their role. Was great viewing!

I will say though the Cows were absolutely pitiful and I’d have expected any serious team to have done similar to them yesterday, they were dreadful. Luckily I thought our defence made them even worse so it’s still a level of credit for us.

Such an important win for the ladder, the morale and the season going into a bye. Need to hammer the Tigers and Dragons and then we are geared up for some serious games. Comp is so close that we can make the Top 4 but we can also finish bottom 4. Im optimistic of making the 8.

On a side note, spewing for Wong’s injury. Terrible timing as he’s really come into his own this season. Hopefully we go with Foketi on that edge not Egan.

without a doubt. rob's had a few wrong judgments in his short career. he'll learn and good to see that he had the skill to pull the kick off.
on the other side of the coin i loved his actions for the connor watson try. did well to get first to the ball and summed up the situation perfectly by drawing the one defender and offloading to connor rather than go hell for leather for the line and be forced to make a more under pressure pass if the defender caught him
