Post Match Roosters v Warriors - [Round 10, 2024]

[Beastmode]

How about that 6 again right on half time aye???

Chicken wing tackle and play on? The fuck is wrong with you Kasey?

Heads up fellas.

Take away those 3 freebies from Kosi’s wing and this game is much closer on paper than it looks

Ed if you’re reading -> you are not a winger bro. Give it up and move to Prop.

Some big injuries this round creating headlines.

It is looking like we may have been hit with one with Johnson. A brave effort battling through. Still questions should be asked if it was wise and if it did more damage or not.

Well things are ugly now. If he is out for any length it will probably get a lot worse. Last year when we rested him it wasn't pretty. It typifies the luck of this club when we are finally relieved Johnson's leg injury is getting better and he can train more than he has. He then picks up another injury which could be a lot more serious.

Was Lussick classified as a category 1. That could be another option down.

Hopefully Walker pulls through with his ankle.

 

[Zaggo]

I'm glad we finally pulled finger in the second half and showed a small amount of variation in our attack. TMM had a couple of nice kicks. Barnett and AFB monsters as per usual.

Why do we always have periods where we completely switch off though? We have zero consistency. It's bizarre, without fail at some point we will turn to custard. Is it a coaching issue, a captain issue, a player issue? It is baffling.

 

[drunk_monk]

I've said it for years but I wish the refs would let us lose because we suck.

That's 2 weeks in a row that an intentional trip didn't result in a binning. And that's not a Kasey Bager thing, bunker could have stepped in there but chose not to.

Then there is stuff like arbitrary choosing to penalize holding down too long is just dumb. Ping everyone all the time or no-one. They let so much go then every so often ding someone. Regularly it's not even the longest someone has held them down.

That Roosters try where DWZ got off him real fast is a great example of what the game could be if the refs enforced that shit consistently. DWZ knew he would get pinged so jumped off, other teams kill opportunities like that as they know they will get away with it.

We sucked, and yet here I am annoyed at the refs as opposed to annoyed that our team played shit.

I gave a C for hanging in there but totally outclassed across the field.
I think last year was a fluke and the Roger to centre is not working.
My call when Roger gets back put him to fullback, Pompey stays centre and the others can fight it out.
Loyalty goes so far winning goes further

I could be mistaken but there seems to be very little talk out there

 

[snake77]

If you have been waiting in reserve grade and finally get an opportunity you need to take it.

A tough assignment for Kosi. Some of the overlaps there is only so much you can do as a winger.

What I am more concerned with is some of the breaks he was jogging back. At least with Montoya you know he will be sprinting back to make amends or to help his team mates.

Also compare it to the DWZ chase on that break. Sure they score on the next play with a great kick to the unprotected wing. But there is only so much DWZ could do there.

 

[Mr Drag]

I was not expecting much, Have given up on the year! Must be a winger who is fast and can tackle for our left side?

 

[SJ2k]

Gave 'em a c for not giving up and taking into account badger fucking us in extremely predictable fashion. Roosters were incredibly dirty and got away with so much. We're just too beat up at this point to take on top 3 teams like the roosters. The real issue is how we didn't nab 3 wins in those last few weeks.

 

[Stalefish540]

All those cooked teamlists in the thread with 13 reggies players listed may actually come true this week because there is noone left

 

[snake77]

It is more common to drown your sorrows. I've been thinking I'll enjoy one of the beers in the fridge after a win.

I might have to change tactic or check the expiry. They could be off by the time we next win a game.

 

[Victor_Radley's_Scrotum]

Last season feels like a fever dream

 

[out the gate]

Let's not rip on how shit we are, how the ref made some shit calls. How certain combinations are shit. Let's think, fuck, it doesn't look like it's going to improve anytime soon, but I'll still be cheering on the same shit team, same shit ref calls & same shit combinations. We have been exceptionally bad this year but hey, that's part of our DNA. Still a long way to go in the season. Bring on the PanthWAH'S next week.

 

[Leon Black]

Full strength side for when we bounce and back and make a run to the finals

Tuivasa-Sheck
Graham-Taufa
Nicoll-Klokstad
Leiataua
Watene-zelezniak
Metcalf
Johnson
Fonua-Blake
Egan
Ale
Ford
Niukore
Barnett

Walker
Sifakula
Tevaga
Laban

Fair but Ford out Capewell in. Ford is pretty one dimensional and always gives away an obstruction penalty for a try consistently

 

[RustyFT]

I thought Pompey played pretty well

 

[tajhay]

The bottom 4 is no place for a team with a positive PD.

Congrats to the club for rectifying that.

But how is our all important field position going? Can disguise our limp dick attack as "unlucky".

capes is out for up to a month bro

 

[Zaggo]

Yep. I've been a critic but he held his own.

 

[Beastmode]

Don’t worry fellas

Our season starts next week

After this shit feast, the only way is up

I admire your positivity. I wish i felt the same... In saying that I'll be parked in front of the TV again next week, riding the rollercoaster.
