Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[zac]

And that's why resting 2 from this game , i believe, was stupid. We needed a win after 2 big losses. Against the dogs we could have rested a couple.

You'd figure Cords will be rested and there's a chance Teddy might be rested, so you might yet get your wish.

After yesterday's loss we are still third on the ladder.

Our kick chase was the worst it's been in years.

Our kick chase was the worst it's been in years.

It was probably our weakest most inexperienced team we have put on the park in years too.

[Mickie Lane]

Maloney to good.
You need close to your top 17 playing to beat any of the other 15 teams in the comp & the Roosters simply had nowhere near their top 17 on the field.
Every team lifts when they play the defending Premiers/ World Champions & we saw that yesterday.
I thought Cronks defence was top class yesterday with that giant Viliame Kikau running at him all game.

Pathetic is the word I would use. Their wingers looked like the best in the world returning the kicks.
Aubs at centre stifles our attack on that side.

Penrith probably said the same thing about their team line up..

And two of our spine players were new to the team, had only played limited minutes this year in reserves, yet both played 80 or at least big minutes yesterday against a rampaging motivated team.

They will both be better for the run/experience when Robbo calls on them again.

[The Axe]

If teddy rested, who plays FB?
If BMoz available, would not have sufficient miles in his legs

You reckon? I’d thought it would be close to their best

[bondi.boy]

What feckin hyperbole. It would be embarrassing if we lost, but this singular round 14 game definitely doesn’t determine if we are finished. Is this quote your official audition to replace Queen Salvo?

If we can't beat the Dogs, who will we beat?

[bondi.boy]

Before you jump off the bandwagon consider the talent we are missing.

I have...we lost to the Knights with most of this talent on the field.

[bondi.boy]

No chance... already did it in the first 8 rounds of the season.

Where have you been?

Watching it all.

Now we have injuries, and it won't be long before someone bashes Keary again.

Storm
Knights
Rabbits
Raiders
Panthers

To have any chance we must beat the Dogs, twice.

Regarding Keary, to ensure his continuation in the game, I'm starting to wonder if he shouldn't play more like Jamie Soward and protect himself.

It's probably not in his nature, just a thought.

I know you are taking the piss, because
We didn’t have our halves or hooker playing.

If BMoz is available, him and if not probably Ikuvalu or Manu
