Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[roosterchook]

lol Ricky claiming things didn't go there way via a few ref decisions.

Loser. Whinger. What ever happened to giving credit where it’s due? We were the better team by far. Only penalties and strips kept them in the game.

Whsts verills status?

In the Foxtel coverage they said it was just a knock but no structural damage. But after the game Robbo said he doesn't know what's going on yet.

What about Cronk and Manu's try savers today ...Shithot

Very well done to the Roosters today against a team I have grown to absolutely detest (except for their fullback). Roosters missed a lot of tackles and made a lot of ineffective ones as well when compared to the green thugs. Room for improvement and don't get me started on the number of times the Roosters were stripped of the ball - AAARRGGGHHH.

Just watched the press conferences. Robbo happy with the effort, frustrated with the new stripping rule, and proud of Verrills. Acknowledged the faiders' exploitation of the new stripping rule.

Sticky said "... couple of things if we had of (sic) got different calls on certain things ..." and "... with not a lot of things going your way ..." and "... it was hard to get momentum in the ruck ..." Also there's ... "too much pressure on the refs ..." regarding the new stripping rule. One small generous comment regarding the Roosters.

Noticed Robbo is the coach that generally gives the most time to the reporters in the press conferences.

I reckon John Bateman is a gun.

Not that we need another second rower, but you gotta admire a player like that. Hard AF

Ricky does not have the humility or brains to grow from this experience of being outplayed. He could make a positive experience out of this by admitting his team was not good enough but they will learn and improve. Instead in his world they were more than good enough ("we don't need this game to be ready to play Melbourne") and due to magical influences outside of his control they somehow unjustly weren't allowed to win.

On the basis of this deluded, loser attitude I think his team's season is already over.

A good win considering the troops we were missing but still a lot of work to be done.

Manly & Melbourne are another step above the Raiders at the moment IMO.

What about the raiders and the refs?

[barryd]

I dont remember watching a team rely so heavily on the refs! piggybacks and constant whingeing every tackle and even when they're in-play. Grubs.
