Roosters v Dogs

[Rocky Rhodes]

Fair enough. At 28-22 if we swapped half backs like you wanted too....who wins the game?

We still would have. I don't rate either of them however it should be noted Pearce had to step out of position to fit in Hodginson in Origin.

JWH inspired that come back win, he was epic. So was Cordner and Topou.

When was the last time Pearce made a clean break leading to a try like Hodginson last night. Maybe rd 1?

[Johnny Tobin]

Does anyone know how bad Michael Lichaa's injury is?

It looked pretty serious. I think he lost his heart.

You can really feel the love amongst the contributors on here when we are winning.

Oh STFU u wallet wanker. U are rubbing up against Braiths genitals yet call others wankers for expressing an opinion lol.

I let your cheap shots pass the last few times but not anymore. I support the Sydney Roosters, not the Pearce poo pirates. For u to question my support based on criticism of one player speaks volumes about your mental state.

Over the last 3 yrs i've been critical of maybe two players out of 50 odd players. Pearce because i expect more out of a $500,000 plus first grade halfback and FPN for being lazy.
U on the other hand sit on some high horse acting like u are some superior supporter, yet caught out been critical of Maloney in another thread. So Get on ya bike ya hypocritical pearce fanboy.

I was not criticism of James Maloney in the same manner that you and your cronies belittle and make derogatory childish comments about Mitchell Pearce. I believe that Jackson Hastings will step up in to the starting role nicely and so we will not lose anything when our incumbent has depart. You on the other hand have shown yourself to a Neanderthal bully and it is time that people stand up against the personal attacks you and your bully friends make against our co-captain.

Yes I do question your support and I will call you and the others who are like you phone supporters that do not deserve the privilege to support our great team and your behaviour would be better suited to the St George Dragons

And don't say I don't do anything for ya!

[Parkway_Drive]

Great game and great win. What is pleasing is that we are closing out close games that in the past we would lose.

Pearce outpointed Hodkinson and is playing reasonably well. However, I am starting to wonder if the post yellow dress super human Mitchell Pearce who made multiple line breaks in the back of the 2014 season was a stunt double.

[The Axe]

just watched the replay. the refs nearly grabbed MOTM for all their assistance to penalise the Dogs back into the match. Happy to be wrong here but last night I'm sure the penalty stats were 8-2; today 7-2. please tell me if I'm going mad...lol

Liccha is a disgrace for his dive. Hassler's belief the 50/50s went against him was astonishing

Both sides go away believing they had their chances to win.

Fans went away entertained

[Hollus]

Hasler is delusional, he even thought we scored off the back of Elliot going into touch and getting the line drop out.

No nicknamed Old Chap? You must really be getting hot under the collar.

[2026]

One of Roger's steps last night was freaking out of this world.

He was like a rubber super ball ricocheting off a brick wall.

The explosive power he has and the ability to change direction with such speed is something i've never witnessed before.

[2026]

I love the kid.

We have to make the most of this season and the golden opportunity we have to win the comp.

[Renman]

Well, what a game.

I was there last night and then watched the game again when I got home. I was seated up high on the eastern side and the broadcast felt like a different game.

Now I am not one for conspiracy theories but last night opened up my eyes.

Any of you who were disappointed that we let 28 points in should not be. It was a brilliant effort. The refereeing display was outrageous. Specifically,

Assclown 1, all night long marked our defensive line 13 m from the play the ball. Assclown 2 marked the Dogs a skinny 8m all night long.
Even at a skinny 8 m the Dogs were offside all night and not a whistle heard.
The broadcast does not show this and the commentators made no mention but is was disgraceful.
Refs need to realize that this is not the WWE and that they cannot ref to results. Last night they tried their damnest to get the Dogs back and, they did.

Any serious official reviewing their performance (assclown performance that is) has to accept that they played catch-up referring or where just totally inept.

For the Roosters to overcome this was a brilliant effort that holds them in good stead for the future.

A couple of observations on player performance.

Some standouts tonight and that was the majority of the team RTS, Jenko, Toops, BBQ, Friendy, Kane, Napa, Takiaho.

Blake was a little off and so was Elliot on their reads but some credit must also go to the Dogs.

Aubbo did a lot of defense and his usual angle runs suffered a bit.

JWH was a phenom, Pierce was much better that Hogkinson and worked really hard all night but Cordener was the best I have seen him.

Guerra is lacking at the moment in comparison to the other forwards. Dont know what is up with him but he can go much better.

The other observation id how much we missed SKD in both defense and running the ball back. Elliot is going well and I like the look of him but he is not the impact player SKD is.

All in all a very good win in a very good game

[Easts75]

Yes we certainly do miss SKD's work off our line. I put my hand up and admit I was so wrong about him. The way he turned his performance's around is nothing short of amazing. I hope he is back in a ' happy place ' as soon as possible and can't wait to see him putting in 100% for the RWB again !
