Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Tigers

[Johnny Brass]

Fantastic effort in trying conditions by the boys , I think we can be a bit harsh on some of our players we have thrashed 2 teams to start the season yet there seems to be a lot of nitpicking on individuals.
We haven't had a bad player in 2 weeks and teddy and Keary are creating havoc.
Our forwards have been superb and we have the best backup halfback in Lindsay the assist king Collins.
The Morris brothers never cease to amaze and on top of their attack they are the best defensive players off bombs in attacking zones to have played the game, they catch lift and drive the opposition to either drop outs or within metres of the tryline.
Great win and onto the bunnies in our first real test of the season.

I thought brooks was troubling us but we just dominated. Now our long awaited revenge match against vermin.

[mattyh]

no complaints here,

was a little concerned with some of that first half d. brooks and laurie were carving us up. are we missing jake here ?

lam was solid , i guess he did his job.

second half vastly improved, mirrored last weeks game.

considering who we whe missing pretty phenomanal start to the season, albeit against 2 of the weaker teams.

i'm a little concerned with keary and tedescos worload during games, bit they seem to be loving it, so i guess carry on .

What year and never heard a bad word about either Morris boy

Well it was a rhetorical question because I never even came close to being in a professional team, let alone a world cup final....but even the Morris's were being criticised early in their Roosters career because of their age, but because they are professional and they're mistake free most of the times, they haven't copped it. Teddy, Toupo, Manu, Collins, JWH, Sitili, Butcher, Friend AND Lam are just some that have copped it. It's part & parcel of playing sports, as long as it's not personal.

[Serenader]

Ten points conceded in 2 weeks. Weak opposition but good signs and something to build on.

If we would have lost tonight everyone would have spoken about all the guys we were missing. What’s my point? I don’t actually have one.

This is the big positive for mine!

Matey i was pulling your leg about the first part .

Great win by the lads. What a difference 12 months makes compared to our 0/2 start last year. Another masterclass by the best in the business Luke Keary. Is really enjoying steering the team in a dominant half role. Plenty of energy across the park even with the match won which would have pleased Robbo. Teddy, Lindsay and Sitili special mentions.

Considering our outs, a good show to our depth.

[King Salvo]

To nitpick they could have scored a few more tries - but well done overall - Not sure where the Tigers go from here though as they seem to have some players not putting in - attack and defence - for long enough periods - early days though only round 2.

Rain is picking up so the reggies will cop the worst of the weather.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

And spare a thought for....me.

My $20 investment to collect $480 was Easts 13 plus, and BMoz and Lindsay anytime try scorers.

I'll get you Collins....bluddy try assists instead of smashing the line!

might be another 10 years. brooks is frustrating - he played this game like he's played his previous 150. brilliant then crap

[ROC181]

My apologies, I had my eyes closed when I was reading it
