2018 R4 Sat - Roosters 6-30 Warriors @ Allianz

[Headless Chook]

Hats off to the Warriors. A total demolition, pure class. Yes we were shite but no excuses whatsoever. Good times ahead for the NZ mob fore sure.

 

[macnaz]

It’s sounds like the Warriors fans outnumber Roosters supporters lol

Fmd ... they would only need 17 supporters to manage that.

 

[super_coach]

No joke, if the NSW was serious I would make Blake Green no6 and captain. He is a old fashion pro. Has all the stuff you need to be good at SOO

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Lol outnumbering us.

Yeah sure fellas.

That one never gets old.

I’m not really one to fall into poor stereotyping.

The Roosters fans are probably just quiet as they are all into their early game lattes

I was there, if we weren't outnumbering them we were pretty dam close. Although, it probably depends on when you did the count, most of the cooks fans started to leave at the 50th minute.

Great atmosphere at the ground though

Definitely a good turnout of warriors fans but to say you came even close to half is ridiculous. I’d say max 4000 warriors fans. A big contingent in the usual away supporters bay in the eastern stand and on the left of the western stand. Seemed like more coz they had more to cheer about. From the third minute they completely outplayed us. As woeful as we were they were clinical. They might actually be the real deal.

Based on today’s performance you are not wrong.

 

[Iafeta]

How can that be? Players always get worse when they go to the Warriors.

Blake Green should get a statue at Mt Smart. Lol and to think all we had to do was give up Foreign for him.

 

[One Warrior]

The Warriors are starting to make people believe in them again....stupid fools. They do this every time and then they shit the bed. Rorters by 30

Lol

 

[Barkley]

Lol

March premiers...re-quote this in September.

I was in the Northeast corner with some chooks season pass holders (they got free guest admission for the first two games so a couple of us came along free with them). Plenty of Warriors fans around us. I reckon we gave them a 4K easily, probably more.

So deliciously salty

 

[Barkley]

So deliciously salty

Lol...I couldn’t careless about these teams. Enjoy your time in the sun though.

 

[horrie hastings]

Just got back from the game, totally out played by the Warriors tonight, Latrell Mitchell's try in the first 3 minutes came way too easily and I just shook my head and said watch every thing go pear shaped from here for the Roosters and it did. FMD Luke Keary's forward pass was pathetic in such a great attacking position. Jake Friend get lost, Victor Radley probably not the best replacement for him either, please bring in Kurt Baptiste.

Not getting ahead of myself, neither is the team, its a long way to go, but after what we all have been through the last 6 years, this feels bloody good at the moment, we'll enjoy it and hopefully we can continue it.

Why would the Warriors choose an away strip that looks so much like the Dogs?

The Warriors are descendant of the Auckland Rugby league side. The Dogs wear the Auckland colours....Auckland wore the blue and White before the Dogs were even thought of.

Those colours belong to the Warriors heritage.

 

[Rebound]

The Warriors used their Heritage kit because their away kit was stolen during the week in the team's van - it was posted on social by the Warriors before kick-off.

 

[Grapple]

Such a complete performance. Green reminds me of when Maloney came to Warriors and there's a comparison to Tohu's stability and Steve Price, anchoring the team you can see too.
It'll be interesting to see where Mannering fits in.

Almost time for me to change avatars to a Warriors one, hahaha... so good to see!

 

[TheFrog]

Warriors a different side to last year, to say the least. I'll have to start tipping them.

The Roosters, for all their flashy backs, were exposed as flat track bullies. When the going gets tough they don't get going. Seriously exposed in the engine room. Worst game I've ever seen Cronk play. Maybe he's pining for the Yarra, or maybe his lady has drained his juices. Mitchell dangerous at times and Tedesco at least tried this week, but was still pretty ineffectual.

 

[Iafeta]

I’ve had a few of my Roosters mates (which accounts to 60% of their fan base admittedly) tell me that Friend was a poor hooker. I always thought they were being a bit harsh.

But man he is so so so slow. Rubbish service from dummy half. The critical plays for me was the Roosters last tackle where old mate was caught by Green easily and then Green boots a stunning 40/20.

And I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a dreadful performance of that exhibition of sheer incompetence by Reece Robinson. Seriously?? He’s their winger now? He should be captain coach of a team in Group 6. He wouldn’t have caught the ball last night with a ball magnet and a rather large bucket.

Fair call.

Yesterday the Warriors reminded me a bit of the 2003 Panthers. I think it might have just been Harris and Pulu on the edges reminding me of the Hair Bears from 2003 but Penrith didn't really have a highly rated pack that year either.
