Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

Positives

well it can’t get any worse

[MCMLXVI]

Newcastle are playing very well, especially their left edge. Not to worry though, Trent will put the magic potion into their orange slices in the break.

[mightyrooster]

Pathetic!
What a rabble we are.

Oh well, maybe next year.

Lol, one of your best BB. You do realise there’s a wee few more rounds to go? Not to mention the second half.

[roostermcgregor]

We can hardly match the knights in the physical game.
On this performance , when we play the riff , they will murder us

[Lydon]

A Dr watching from the bunker can rub a player out without physically checking him...interesting.
At least that's what I heard on fox.

Yes that’s exactly what was reported..

[<ME>]

Sitili left and Angus right… going be long first few weeks while that settles. Start with rawest front row combination game 1 of a new year???? Teddy is underdone.

[bondi.boy]

2 weeks behind the rest because Trent won't trial his top team, just a weird way to go about things but it has worked for him before but don't expect much until week 3.

We train, Lords knows what we do at training.
Smallest team in the NRL...*midgets* everywhere...of course we can't tackle...and get run over.

[RoosterFanNZ]

teams missing someone who can nearly penetrate the line every run. a Suaalii would be extremely useful right now

Rubbish performance. Same penalties and errors. No momentum. No possession. Always defending. Don’t our players have passing and catching practice? With this attitude we are in for a lot of thrashings this season. I got a bad feeling that we think we can win on reputation and don’t need to earn our wins anymore. Pathetic effort in ball discipline. Knights deserve to win.

[Roosterfarian]

Unsurprisingly we look gassed after most of these guys didn't trial.

bad call not giving them some time in trials.

experts here will say ‘will benefit us for a long season ahead’ but this could be two points missed which could be costly.

incidentally Angus starting the season where he left off….

[Team Evil]

So in the future, when a player gets a head knock. Get them straight off, to have a Doctor look at them, don’t leave it to the bunker

[Lydon]

Gagai having a field day

[roosterchook]

Stupid play. No professionalism whatsoever.
