Roosters v Manly Matchday Thread

[Maxy Walker]

If you think we're even a remote chance of beating the Storm next week minus all our injured players then I salute you.

And I've never tipped us to win the comp. Merely that we're a punchers chance if everything goes our way - which given injuries it clearly isn't.

Whatever Tommy. You're just the worst band waggoner fan I've ever seen. Jump on we win, jump right off when we lose.

[Maxy Walker]

Just watching today I was just thinking to myself geez I hope we don't loose this kid like that guy on the Chookpen told me we would.

Then your name popped up. When's he leaving?

Dunno man. You tell me. You seem fairly obsessed with me and Lattrell. I never claimed to have any inside knowledge about anything. Just a gut feeling at the time he may not be coming back after he was dropped. And here you are still crapping on about it months later.

Get a life.

[Tommy Smith]

Whatever Tommy. You're just the worst band waggoner fan I've ever seen. Jump on we win, jump right off when we lose.

Jump off? Nope still here.

Just one of two dozen calling out a poor team performance.

But here you are singling me out. Are you a stalker?

[The Axe]

Just listened to preso. Could not hear the question but I gather sst had compound break to finger. Anyone else hear this?

be good if journos carried mike

[King Salvo]

I hope the usual clap trap doesn't come out in the press conference - they were more desperate and more hungrier than us etc etc - Could have almost wrapped up a top two spot or at least top 4 spot with a win today - How bad was Toops/SST injuries? - Fergo will come under MRC scrutiny for his off the ball tackle one would feel - looked shoulder first- need to win 3 out of 4 now.- All the good work in the second half last week went out the window this week - 18 - 4 up - to beaten by 36-18 is poor - 32 unanswered points - been a few games now were they haven't scored any points in the second half - Robbo shouldn't let players to speak to the press as when I heard a Roosters player say how they could catch the Storm in the minor premiership race - one thought their mind is not on this game but the next - if they play like they did today the Storm will put 50 on them.

Parra storming home with 3 very winnable games of their last 4 with Bronco's in round 25 whom they have already beaten- Sharks play Bronco's this week so one will join us on 32(unless an ET Draw) and pass us to be second if we don't beat the Storm and Parra could join us on 32 too as well if they beat the Knights as I mentioned- Bellache will rest some players when they wrap up the minor premiership if they beat us and the Knights- last 4 rounds below for top 8 contenders - Penrith with a game round 21 game in progress

Storm(36) play Roosters/Knights/Rabbitohs/Raiders
Roosters (32) play Storm/Wests Tigers/Sharks/Titans
Sharks(30) play - Broncos/Cows/Roosters/Knights-
Bronco's (30)play - Sharks/Dragons/Eels/Cows

* Penrith (24) play Wests Tigers/Cows/Raiders/Dragons/Sea Eagles- * game in progress could be on 26 points at the end of round 22
Dragons (24) play Titans/Bronco'/Panthers/Dogs

did anyone tape the game today, its a real mystery what happened with SST, did something happen in the last couple of minutes before HT?

really strange the Fox commentary team didn't even mention he hadn't returned.

[The Axe]

Robbo mentioned groin not good BT toups walked off and is walking in sheds

You said I was delusional to think otherwise and it was just a guess? No inside info?

What do you mean... I was so convinced..

compound finger break I think.

fox commentators also didn't check the wind direction. No surprise no focus on sst

He missed the tackle just before half time on DCE, didn't look 100% when he was trying to make that tackle. Don't think it came from that tackle though as he barely layed a hand on him but it was the last input he had in the game with Napa coming on to replace him at half time.

that sounds gruesome, depending on how bad it Is, that might be his season done.

Whatever dude. Show me where I claimed to have inside info on anything. You won't be able to.

Most importantly though I think you need to stop obsessing about inconsequential banter from months ago. That's quite a sad life.

Is Fergo going to be charged? Anything in it?

yep shoulder charge to the head of a defenceless player off the ball.

[LargeMike]

Kimmorley is off with the fairies on the sidelines. No surprises there.

what I was surprised about was Warren Smith not picking up on their 21 - Tanginoa pulling at Napa on their try review. It was fairly obvious and he usually picks up on small things.
