Roosters vs Sea Eagles Match Day Thread

[bondi-boy]

How come Manly players are allowed to tackle our players around the head every 'second' tackle, and rough up our players in the tackles?

Get SKD, LOD and Cordner some gloves.

Another good defensive effort

How the fck did a prop run around mini my god

It should be 20-0...

SKD has had the best and worst play of the half for us, such an enigma this bloke.

[bondi-boy]

I hope all the wood ducks in here, that want SKD retained, have a good look at this game, he wouldn't make newtown.

He's been playing well this year.
One handling error tonite does not a bad player make.

That RTS line break in the middle was mouth watering.

Imagine having that at your disposal every set, around tired forwards, instead of watching poor mini get smashed every time.

[Parkway_Drive]

I know it wont happen soon but I would like to see Langi in firsts somewhere and SKD's right centre position would be ideal ATM.

if he didnt make that try saver we would be 6 - 8 or worse, would have changed the whole game. Yes he made a stupid error but it came from an intercept and did take pressure off our line abit regardless of the drop. give him a break, and that foward pass was a BS call

When Jennings scored he did not gain a yard on Tupou, Tupou kept with him the whole way stride for stride, will be great to see Tupuo get in the clear one day

[Spanner in the works]

SKD is a weakness in my view. We need players who can hold the ball and build pressure, not enigmas.

[ChookMaster]

We should look to kick early / into touch. Imo we should turn manly around try and pin them down in their own half and slow down the tempo of this match. Our defense is.. wow

Aside that miraculous tackle on Tafua,he has been quite poor. A few handling errors and a penalty (i'm sure i heard the ref single him out on our line). Manly look very likely on his side.

Cordner and LOD drop the ball more than SKD does...both while trying to catch it, and being tackled with it.

Jennings has amazing acceleration over the first 20, however over the 100, Tupou's stride is a great advantage. It's a shame i haven't seen him hit full stride yet.
