Official Match Thread - New Zealand Warriors vs Sydney Roosters

That spud??

I think you forgot the minus sign to kickoff your username.

He's more like a lemon

Roosters vs NZ vs refs @ NZ with out of form 1/3 Cronk (minus Smith & Slater), girl forwards with umpteen dozen errors, missed tackles and penalties maybe sin bin =thrashing.

Add Friend’s slow motion service to that and it could be an annhilation. The closest we’ll get is nil all at kick off.

Seems like the forwards have finally realised after 10 rounds that they need to out muscle the opposition forwards..
Not sure whether to take it seriously as it’s the bleeding obvious yet the players have just caught on apparently
Lets see if it’s all talk come Saturday

It’s a rugby league revelation. Let’s just run over them. It’s pure genius.

Lol the last time they got a big mouth before a game was against the cowboys in the semi finals last year and they got embarrassed. They should shut up instead of talking up in the media.

It’s laughable - nothing is finer for the Warriors in smashing their opposing Polynesian Roosters, its often the case.

seriously im a bit outraged at whats transpired this year, i admit i bought a bit into the hype albeit not initially, i am a pearce fan boy, not going to deny it, i felt he was treated very harshly by some on here and what he did right he seemed to given grudging credit, he had his faults no doubt , but his running , passing and defence were for the most part far above average kicking game wasnt bad but off fied he was poor, friend ive never really felt he was that good anyway, hell i thought segeyaro was superior a year or 2 back prob still do, that says something, now cronks been given 9 rounds and the team is worse this year then last, nobody can deny it, we dont even look close to the top teams this year, our defence is good, i just feel cronk is a real fish out of water at the roosters, hes such an organised disciplined player who was meant to bring structure to our chaos instead the chaos has somewhat engulfed him , pearce seemed able to work within the chaos better if it makes sense and he and keary were great together, i just cannot in no way see cronks stable influence in the team bar a kick or two and given hes been paid a million a year i expect more, maybe this seems unreasonable but blaming pearce for the semi final loss is unreasonable too, its not all cronks fault but hes not proving to be much of anything bar the odd good kick , hell luke walsh was good for that , maybe the forward pack is done, maybe the hookers past his use by date, maybe the new fullback s a fish out of water too at least hes trying, i dont know, but im thoroughly pissed about it, hell i got foxtel installed to watch all roosters games this year expecting re runs of 2013, sadly disappointed and i cant see it changing cronk aint in the same breath as a fittler or smith or lockyer or johns and sadly appears another melbourne player who appears far better then he actually is under concentration camp bellamy / smith , and i wouldnt mind so much if it wasnt eating up a million a year for a 34 yo, sadly im shaking my head, a bit in disbelief , this really sucks.

I certainly did not buy into the hype. We replaced two very good players at halfback and fullback (one of which was an excellent goal kicker and rarely made mistakes) with two very good player (both of which don't kick goals and one of which is prone to mistakes). We lost a bunch of players too and forwards that got beat up in the finals last year are essentially weaker than last year. Still, I smell an upset this weekend against the Warriors. This team can match it when they put in.

On it. Nice one bruvv

[Salvatori Grubber]

Actually. Boyd to score and NZ 1-12 paying $21. That’s a better punt, tbh.

[Mickie Lane]

I cant see the Chooks beating the Warriors over there. I think the Chooks will put in a mighty effort but I dont think they will win.
