Official Match Thread - Sydney Roosters vs Penrith Panthers

[roosterchook]

That game said a lot more about reality of the Dragqueens than it did of the Panthers.

It would be awesome to get a win. We are good enough for sure. We’re full of incredibly talented players. If Teddy and Cronk click and Mitchell sees more ball we might give them a run for their money. Fergo’s in great form too so I’m expecting a great game from him. Should be match of the round. I hope we really show them up but I’m not taking them lightly.

Well Robinson's confident - time will tell.

Nearly missed that, thanks for posting.
Gotta love Robbo.

look who the riff has played so far. eels twice. cows twice, dogs twice, titts, west, and knaughts. not a real indicator really. 4 out of the bottom 5 in the comp. but they have beaten souffs and merge

we sit in 4th spot on the ladder and have played 6 teams out of the top 8. i do rate the potential of the riff but not tonite.

I bloody hope not, they have two of the best sharp shooters in the comp, if not the best......

can we borrow one to take out jake?

Pump their halves and we win ...it aint that hard .

It is the current Blues winning halves combo though. Not so easy.

Latrell to show BBQs what he has outside him in Origin. Boom

[Kelvin Johnson]

Prediction - strong start followed by plenty of dropped ball and lapses in intensity. Heaps of penalties. We’ll win or blow it in the last five.

There shouldn't be heaps of penalties tonight and that could be a good thing for us.

Near full strength.
No excuses.
A good barometer where we are currently.
First try.. Boyd, running over bbq
Easts by 4

[Johnny Brass]

Looking forward to this game tonight and it will be a good test to see where we are at. Go the roosters

At home at full strength playing a side that has 4 players out plus Wallace has retired,
If the Chooks cant win tonight then they dont deserve to be considered premiership material.

Penrith have been beating teams without those four players all season and are still a big danger. The Roosters are way off their best and will do very well to compete and win.

Stuck at work tonight so I can’t watch it but go Roosters! I think we can and will win. I hope there’s a fox replay tomorrow
