Roosters vs Panthers match discussion

[Andrew Walker]

Deeply disapointing losing the match. But very proud of the effort they put in This team is getting a little better each week

Good on the boys tonight. At least they are slowly starting to play as a team! Better than getting thrashed 40 - 0 . This year we are just getting warmed up. Look out 2017

Jamie Soward does not put himself in to a position to get hit by the defence in big hits.

Great observation mate, it is not easy to smash blokes who know their way around a footy field and Alvin is pretty good at that.

Tupou really should be having a break from first grade for a while.

I would ask him to retire.

A part of the issue with young halves is that they're coached into too much structure. Nikorima seems to be dying in it and can't play his natural game.

Couldn't agree more. Maybe Robbo needs to take the shakes off because Hastings is providing zero spark in attack too. Let the kids play

You are of the opinion that last night was a better performance than the week before?

[Vasco]

Guerra was shit in defense almost as bad as fergo.
I just can't sit here and say well they tried hard. Some of them just tried hard to be dumb.
Lets go the short side with a huge overlap on the open. Lets throw it to the winger who is right on the sideline.


We may not have lost through lack of effort, we lost through lack of brains

That has been the case a few times this year.

As bad as we are, we could be in the top 8.

That's how bad this year's comp is.

Broncos and Cowboys...daylight next.

Obviously not result wise But considering Souths could barely pick their feet up last week let alone execute anything of note, and Penrith played quite well last night and along with the way our team attacked the game last night in terrible conditions I would say last night was our best performance of the season.

No Cordner no JWH, no drunk, no Maloney, no Jennings, no Roger... The guy is another that's trying his best to deal with the fact were missing many. That's not his game to cover for all that the experience we're missing. Let's give him a break and perhaps when some of these return he could be given a week off.

[Waerea-Beast!]

As much as I dislike him, Ssssssssowie showed up our youngsters in a big way. He was the difference. The way he managed the game in the last 10 was insanely good.

[Salvatori Grubber]

I was utterly convinced we were going to win last night, even up until quite late-on I just had a feeling we'd jag it. Dunno, the guys just weren't flummoxed at all; as others have said, Soward (whom I've always liked - no idea why everyone hates him) was the difference. Yet again.

Props to Evans and Latrell who were our best, with Aidos, Skd, Liu and Hastings excellent as well.

Friend was great for 60 mins and then his brain stopped working again.

[eddie]

I thought Moa had a good strong game as well.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Yeah, Moa really tried his best all game as well. We were good - just not quite good enough across the park on the night.

Can't wait for Jared and Boyd.
