Round 9 Discussion

[Dexter]

Moses should have potted the FG and made the chooks have to score 3 times.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

4 SC points for Sam Walker. FMD.

EDIT: Impeccable timing, as always

 

[BroncsFan]

Looks like the bunker got called by Vlandys and ordered to do what they could to stop the blow outs

100%

If rabbits, sharks and roosters all got blown out it basically means the season doesn't matter until October when it's Panthers getting blown out by the storm 2yrs in a row

I mean anyone with a brain can see that the season doesn't matter as it is, but soon enough the media will HAVE to write stories about "top 4" teams being shit for getting blown out

CMON roosters

CMON roosters

**** the roosters!!

 

[DanG]

**** the roosters!!

i mean yes but i just hate the eels even more

 

[Sproj]

I just checked the score, deadset. Rip the Eels off a legit try and now the Roosters have scored, I am guessing they have been 'managed' back into this?

 

[Brocko]

"Resilience of the Roosters they say".

After a nonsense bunker call, into a soft head high tackle keeps them in the game

I just hate NSWRL .... the more Sydney teams getting flogged the better haha

 

[DanG]

guess this game just shows we dodged a bullet with moses

 

[Bull Shark]

Politis going to get Cecchin sacked.

Of course, three huge blowout scores will just prove out loud what everyone is thinking.
This is a two team competition.

Might as well just have Panthers play the Storm 6 times each weekend till the grand final.

nah broncos are for sure in the race this year, wouldn't count them out

 

[Big Pete]

"Inconclusive"

What more did they need? An expert witness?

 

[Midean]

Disappointing round of footy so far.
Hopefully a Broncos win tomorrow will liven things up.

 

[Kimlo]

JWH sore loser as always

 

[BroncsFan]

Well it would've been 38-18 if the eels weren't robbed of a stock standard try.

I wait with bated breath to see every second rower running at the outside shoulder to be adjudged as an obstruction from now on

The injury to Mahoney curbed the Eels attack but even so once Opacic crossed over early in the second half it was basically all over. The Eels controlled possession wonderfully and consistently out performed the Roosters in the arm wrestle. If they can find some direction with their attacking opportunities they could go all the way.

Sydney were gallant but everytime they gave themselves half an opportunity they'd spoil the play. The moment for me was not long after the Ikuvalu try in the second half where they traded sets with the Eels only for Butcher to spill an easy one. It's just a feature of the Roosters game at the moment where they turn too much ball over inside their own half.

A fairly comprehensive 13 point win to the Eels, not the perfect performance but you'll take that over any Roosters outfit at this stage.
