Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Parramatta

[Waylander]

Billy Smith is also too slow to be playing in the backs. He was rub down so easily when in space.

He was run down by Mitch Moses, who is very quick.

[Lydon]

We completed 6 of 18 sets of six in the second half..

What an absolute disastrous stat..

[elo]

Parra scored 30 points whilst breaking our line 0 times, yes that is 0 line breaks for 30 points......Moses kicked us to death and we obliged with a shocking completion rate and constant errors in our own half, a classic Robbo "Roosters Way" performance when short favourites, what a disaster.

[Roosterfarian]

Savala's limitations have been on full display tonight.

100% fletch mun. He cracked under pressure like the Oceangate submersible.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Been an all right season but Christ that game has ended my hope

[Rocky Rhodes]

Was that the Roosters way?

Once again losing to a far lesser team...

Putrid performance...totally the 2025 Rooster way.

Probably beat the storm next week then lose to the bunnies, the Roosters way.

[Chook2]

What an appalling performance - parra scored 6 very lucky tries and we could have all but sown up a finals spot but instead lost by 20

loosing Sammy hurt us early and Savala didn’t a lot of spark

the Intercept and errors to gift parra tries was dissapointing

don’t know what’s happened with junior tupou but he is a shell of the player he was at the tigers

toops back next week but walker out! We need storm to rest their whole bloody team and we will still loose

3. Marky - this guy in freaky
2. toia
1. Maybe Watson

[roosterchook]

He will not play another first grade game if they are fair dinkie and maybe forget getting players from Newcastle

All he had to do was hold onto the ball but a wild flip pass in goal shows he shouldn’t be playing rugby league and Robbo is useless for not hooking him much earlier.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Just when u think Shank Townsend is the worst signing of all time, up comes Tupou Jr and says hold my beer and then spills it.

Imagine replacing a jack rabbit like Dom Young and replacing him with this tupou tortoise...jumps like a tortoise too. Genius that Trobbo..

[The Brain]

Whole team was below par..terrible and embaressing all 3 hero props played like teletubbies tonight ..weak as piss.

[Waylander]

We actually missed 12 less tackles than them. They scored 5 tries off a total of 8 kicks in those movements. I know the result was crap, and the handling was putrid, but it was just one of those games where nothing went right.

[gragra]

Junior tupou gifted them 2 tries, Teddy threw an intercept....that's about 14 points there ! Tupou to never see first grade again....the rushing 8 metre, jump early defence of parra all caused panic catchup football and lead to a mountain of mistakes......possibly on a par with their worst performance of the year....make the 8?...what's the point with that kind of inability to control the ball...

[DP1990]

Have we got the comp's slowest backline ?

Like seriously, despite Mark Nawaqanitawase being an absolute freak of a weapon and an ex Rugby 7s players - he's not quick and neither are the other backs from my view.

[Bansai Pipeline]

That's the season I reckon.

Underestimated a lower placed team and didn't have the ticker to stay in the game when the ambush was on.

Didn't show up.

[SamKerrSimp]

That might be the toughest loss of the season to swallow that was a really poor showing and right from the second tackle the team had no intensity in their game. Very, very disappointing
