Official Game Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

They have bombed a couple. We are luckily we aren't down by more

[ROC181]

We're looking ok, I think everyone is being a bit over dramatic.

Some good signs there, line speed is a lot better than previous weeks, our transitions in sets has been awesome and there's been good pressure on Pearce & Ponga all game.

Just looks like we're searching for points a little bit too hard. If we just come out and get in the grind this second half we'll win this game pretty comfortably. But the intercept pass from Boyd, the forward pass from Cronk and the flick from Toops (was probably going over the sideline to be fair) are just still errors because we're just not flowing well in attack and there's a lack of confidence.

Yes good runs bringing the ball up but when we are inside their 20 there are silly errors.

[ROC181]

I dont think he scored

I agree but he pushed both players about 5m to get over the line.

[bondi.boy]

What's going on with our attack in their 20. Continually fumbling our way to nothing

Very poor.
Good luck to Latrell getting $900,000 a season on recent form.

How many errors in their 20 metre zone I’ve lost count?

[The Brain]

We cant win the comp with out friend ..as soon as he went off the organisarion started looking like last 7 weeks...shame

A couple of observations.

1. Knights get tackled the Roosters stand up where the knights should play the ball but the knights take a couple of steps side ways than the Refs call the Roosters offside.

This is needs to be addressed by the officials.

2. Hall, try’s hard but he just isn’t up to the speed of first grade.

3. Refs gave the benefit of the doubt to the Knights calling that try based on the way Moga celebrated.

1. Is just how it works. Remember the Storm being told... 'HEEELD!!! ... 'RELEASE!!!!' [5 seconds they release and that's fine]. Funnily enough we then struggle to make metres and get more tired. OOOH BUT POST CAM SMITH THE GAME WILL GO BUST IN MELBOURNE!!! So what? They don't watch him anyway no matter how many stats they rig up for 'the accountant' (surely an inside joke about how he was on the know about the cap cheating and got off during salary cap investigations).

2. Hall is fine. It's his power rather than his speed that we want him with.

3. Yeah that try was a joke. The 1/2 time re-plays say it all... NONE! Just some quick flash of it with them saying 'hahahaa yeah Ponga's pass was amazing and eeerm... yeah... Moga just eeerm... too strong there [video has already moved on and only the most ambiguous of fark angle was shown]

[ism22]

Friend - forearm injury. Guess he's been bored while out injured?

[roosterchook]

Terrible form still. Shocking attack, shocking defense.Teams are cutting through us up the middle with ease. If knights didn’t drop the ball they would have had another 2 tries.

[Lydon]

the combination excuse? really? these boys won a comp together last season.. last season i could buy "we need to build combinations" but not now... they have had a full season and a full preseason together..thats plenty to know how to play together...there is an effort problem atm and idk why... last season we looked desperate in defence which has been missing all season this yeaar.

Listening to Cooper and Trent during the week they kept alluding to the importance of combinations and keeping the same team on the park,hence why I mentioned that..
But I agree with you regarding knowing how to play together

[elo]

Comical.

[Tommy Smith]

Holy hell we're straight up TRASH.

[Bahrain Rooster]

Lats with a possible game changer!

[ism22]

First run...
- Sitili tackled.
- After the tackle some grub comes in and BLATANTLY knocks the ball out.

Nup. Knock-on.

GUYS!!! OUR CAPTAIN IS INJURED!!! I KNOW WE ARE AMAZING BUT FUKKING REF FAIRLY!!!! WE NEED THIS WIN AS MUCH AS ANY TEAM!!! DON'T ASSUME WE CAN WIN DESPITE BEING ROBBED!!!

YES LATRELL CAN SCORE LIKE THAT AND YOUR CORRUPT BUM CANNOT STOP IT BUT... BUT... WE ARE ALSO WINNING THE GRIND AND NEED OUR FAIR PD!!! DO NOT ROB US AND FORCE US TO WIN BY PURE BRILLIANCE ALONE!!!!

[Jizzy waves his finger at the ref like he's Snoop Dawg coz that seems to be influential]

The individuals have got to be held accountable.

Lack of time in combinations doesn't make Cordner throw a cut out ball that's intercepted, it doesn't make Cooper Cronk throw it forward to JWH or Toops flick it on first tackle because Keary & Latrell have put him on the sideline.

That's got nothing to do with combinations. We're just making silly individual errors.

100% Rooster6. Sitili has just set the pattern for the second half. (I hope not). As I write Latrell races away for a length of field try. I shouldn't be too critical but he could have improved the position as he is the kicker. LOL
