FFS. Take Purtell out of that team...and its a much better team.

No Pritchard, Waterhouse & Grant failed the fitness test.

Roosters 13+.

Carney to run past Purtell about 10 times tonight. Freakin turnstile.

He must give great head.

 

[bigfoot]

Purtell in the backrow... f**k me. I knew he wasn't going to be dropped.
Now we have to play against 14 with only 12 men.
f**k you Matt Elliott, you pathetic excuse of a coach.

 

[Big Mick]

Roosters 1-17

 

[Big Mick]

Carney to score 4 tries tonight. Running straight through the arm tackles of that useless bald prick.

 

[Caged Panther]

Can't believe what I'm reading. Elliot you're a moron of the highest order!

 

[Timmah]

Electric finish from the 'Dogs to win Toyota Cup 24-22

No way.
Purtell won't get close enough to get his arms on him. :x

If we manage to win with twelve men and no Pritchard, Waterhouse or Grant, this will be a miracle.

Purtell in the forwards....lol. What is Elliott thinking ??...

Purtell in the forwards....lol. What is Elliott thinking ??...

Maybe he wants all Penrith fans to off themselves.

Guys, what's with all the Purtell hate? I mean, there are better players than him, but seriously?

Guys, what's with all the Purtell hate? I mean, there are better players than him, but seriously?

Well its because basically...he gets selected when he hasn't earnt it.

He can't tackle - leading NRL in missed tackles for outside backs
He gives up the most tries within teams 10m line - Leads NRL in this stat.
He can't pass
He can't hold onto the ball
He can't hit the line at pace.

But I'm sure he does something REALLY well off the field.

He is the biggest weaklink in the team...and instead of dropping him like he should have been once Coote comes back..he gets to START in the backrow ahead of guys like Paulo, Cooper, Bell even Iosefa.

 

[Panthers888]

Well on the upside this means Purtell probably won't get 80 mins. So if Purtell is as bad as he's made out to be, not all is lost.

He's been that bad since Round 14 this year.

He'll play 80 minutes.

He couldn't slide in defense when at centre...so why not put him inside another two spots into the defensive line where he'll get MORE work. lol.

This is the worst move in the clubs history. Its time to move on.

 

[kia ora storm]

Guys...who should have been called into the squad to cover Pritchard and Waterhouse ??.

Surely there is a forward in the squad that could have covered the spot better than Purtell ??

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Purtell in the 2nd Row, FMD what is Elliott doing?

 

[Big Mick]

Kill me now. Purtell defending outside of Luke Walsh.

LOL @ Joey saying Purtell is a strong defender. What freakin games has he been watching

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

lol this has the potential to be as bad as Terry Martin at 5/8th

 

[DeeJ]

I haven't seen Purtell make a tackle this year and they put him into the backrow?

 

[kia ora storm]

Maybe Elliott wants to play 3 centres in the backline just to confuse the Roosters and play with one forward down...
