Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sea Eagles

[roostersrule2]

After that early dropped ball I actually thought Radley played well.

A nice short ball to put Teddy through the line and lots of strong hit ups - over 200m.

I think he's just adjusting to playing a much more hands on role to ease the pressure on Flanagan. He was playing 1st receiver a fair bit.

So despite a few errors it's obvious that he's pretty crucial to this team.

100% agreed.

I think he is the key to our attack now Cooper is gone. When he ball plays there’s a lot less pressure on him
then Flanno simply because he doesn’t wear the 7. And he’s pretty ****ing good at it too.

He's similar in style to Jake T. Can make a strong run up the middle or can set up his outside guys by passing. He is a huge part of our team. Gives us another dimension. Just needs to drop his error rate.

Verrills played 20 minutes.

Curious who else would you have played tonight and then whose minutes would you have sacrificed to play that player?

I’d like your watch when i am doing OT. Regardless, Friend is not a backrower and we don’t need a bench hooker. It is a complete and total waste of time. We didn’t play it all last year, except for the GF. I would
have played a young middle or edge forward.
but hey let’s not let anyone else give constructive feedback. Only the little chookpen clique are allowed to do that

There were 2 try’s awarded in the Nuke v Tigpies game (1 each) which were identical to the 2 denied us.
The more things change....

Discussion from people with wildly different views is what keeps this place interesting.

It's why I genuinley asked you what you would do.

I think a lot of coaches are reacting to a game that is now heavily affected by HIA tests so you've got to have multiple in game options and stacking your bench with 4 forwards can be restrictive.

I don't really have a stand point on it, I have seen reasonable arguments for and against a utility in the modern day game.

Well said, I hadn’t considered the HIA option and the reaction to the game. I do think Rads can cover that in a one off game though. Sorry to be defensive different opinions aren’t always treated with genuine consideration on the pen at times. Thanks
