Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[Bruce 38-0]

I have posted comments along this similar theme before: why can’t we be the $2.70 team who upsets the more fancied $1.27 team when it’s normally vice versa?

[Team Evil]

i hope we dont get flogged, or it is a boring 20 6 loss like last week.

be nice to get a win , im just not sure if we can tbh ...last week i hope was a one off - by god it was bad.

go chooks .

How can people be wanting us to lose WTF.
We have not beaten Penrith in years, it would be OUT F%CKINGSTANDING if we win tonight.
So many people want to prove our coach wrong, F that, lets hope he knows what he is doing and we get the win tonight away from home.

GO THE CHOOKS

Edit
Sorry mattyh, not really aimed at you but so many people are very negative.

[The Axe]

I feel the publicity will galvanise the team and wish them well tonight.
agree with the chookpen selections of our backline. We are weakening the team playing key players out of position.

I simply add, who did everyone want to come on for last 15 minutes last week with our team down Vs Cowboys and needing points? Tugboat or Walker?
Walker offers more off the bench than reggies.

[Waylander]

We should win if Walker plays 7, Keary 6, Manu back into the centres JAS on the wing. Lodge needs to play the game of his life and show the club why we should keep him.

Except that's impossible, since Walker was removed from the squad at the 24hr update yesterday. They'll be running out as per program mate.

Just have to hope for the best, and prepare for the worst - I have many beers ready in the fridge for the drowning of sorrows, or gleeful celebration, whichever the result requires.

[top_joe]

I don't really want to watch it at all.

It is not that I don't want to see our team lose, I am just not sure I want to watch out team dish up another completely mediocre performance (based on capability) and waste another 2 hours of my life.

[The Brain]

zilch confidence need a miracle mand the refs to be on our side bwahahahahhahaha

[Aubo]

Im just hoping they show the form that they are capable of … in 18 on Anzac day i was convinced we were doomed with this same problem of terrible attack and then boom 2 premierships. Fingers crossed we get it right tonight and start tearing teams apart like the roosters should!

[bondi paul]

The post game press conference will be an interesting one tonite.

[Horry]

Walker is not playing Reserve now but he can't play firsts either. Strange, Updated team below.

It's a shame the chooks could really turn it on tonight, only to have the game managers step in on one decision a la the Verills "spear tackle" of last season out there at Penrith.

Hutchison is playing in NSW Cup tonight at 5:30pm.

One difference between then and now.

Yes, reportedly injured during "high impact" training.
Gee, what could possibly go wrong at high impact training.
