Roosters vs Warriors Match Day Thread

Agree totally Kenny dowels performance also helped kill us.

We looked a different team when Sam Moa was on. When SBW was off and we had Guerra and Aubbo, we lacked drive. LOD wasn't bad, and Marty just isn't able to make much impact. We got killed by size tonight. We need JWH badly. FPN always goes well against his countrymen too.

I agree heh is huge to us. Team looked good then panicked and fell into dumb old mistakes again. It'll get better as the season goes on but there may be losses at least till Jared is back. And skidoo is just to busy pulling gloating faces at the opposition fullback rather than SCORING THE TRY!! it's a punish, he.was playing ok for once

Agree with the 1st half of your post but not sure about the 2nd...
We're sliding & building momentum in the wrong direction...

Fair call mate , we havent been playing well at all lately , but somehow still winning .I guess im still optimistic ,afterall the last couple of years we have been diabolical .We have the nucleus of a team that can at least compete in finals football .The fat lady aint singing yet :P

I can't wait for the idiot that comes on here and says MK was not as bad as I make out coz he ran so many metres! It will happen. Mark my words.

By my count he ran the ball back on at least 3 drop kicks from half way, slowed at the line each time, but would have been awarded 60 to 80 right there. He is a sloth and I cannot believe he is even considered for SOO. We all saw the difference in go forward when Moa came on. A 47 year old LOD has more go forward.

Mitchell pearces kicking game is officially diabolical. I just want Maloney to always kick.

What a way to lose that game. So winnable. Two rebound kicks and good old SKD and those great hands.

Ireckon Maloneys kicking game was more diabolical and he was hopeless in general play.

To be positive Frank Paul was pretty awesome tonight....

He plays like Artie at contract time.

We did not get killed by size at all. That is so wrong.
We got killed because a tap back from a kick and a rebound kick led to two trys, skd let the ball get knocked out because he was doing the chicken dance and that fat sloth Kennedy took the field. God help me if I hear one person on here tell me he has a sore fnn foot, I'm gonna hunt u down and have u live with my wife for a week.

Warriors rode their luck to the hilt, but did defend great.

It had absolutely nothing to do with size. But u r right. Sam Moa is a bloody gun and should go straight back to starting and Tasi needs to come in for sloth.

Pearce is really an ordinary player.

His decision making can be real ordinary at times.
He seems to panic when we get close to the opposition line.

How many grubber kicks did we see from our halves tonight.
One from Maloney that went long and one from Pearce that got a result.
It would be nice to see them put opposition backs under pressure with a
few more grubbers.

I thought Mini played well tonight..........except I wasn't sure why he didn't
pick up that ball near the side line?

[The Brain]

I havnt heard anyone complain by Tupou? he was terrible with always batting up the ball rather then taking it he also cost us.

Have to agree.
They were the better team, end of story, move on.

skd has to be dropped this was his game to step up and hasn't done sh1t, all he had to do was dive over the line its a getting beyond a joke now

Not the first time this season.

Strangely I'm not upset by this loss. Perhaps it's the new medication taking effect.

[Burnt Rooster]

Nothing has changed the same players costs us dearly, as they do every week, we are a great team at making a simple game very hard, the Warriors had some luck yes, but they backed that up with the sort of defence we were doing in the early rounds of the comp.Wasen't Moa good when he came on, I wish he had another 20 kilo's on him, but allowing for that, he bends the line every run he makes. SBW put in for the first time in a few weeks, he had a great game, but badly lacked support, at vital stages of the game. In saying all that, was a lot better performance then the rubbish they served up against Parramatta, but still a long way to go, and some team changes to be made, we need Robinson to aim up now, and make the decisions we can all see need making, and not be a Smith clone, and bury his head in the sand.

He'll learn from that and it's necessary to persist with Tupou as he does have the goods in the long term..
Besides it's not like he's had as much first grade as SKD

It's because he's not SKD, Mini or MK.
