[I Bleed Maroon]

Roosters are going through a bit of a slump, and the Sea Eagles will be desperate for a win. Eagles by 6.

I think the roosters are back on track after Friday's win & it's the eagles that are well down on form.

Roosters will win comfortably.

They collapsed in a big way at the tail end of that game. They may have got away with the win but they were damn lucky.

 

[Michael Bishop]

Roosters defence should have little trouble containing Manly's non existent attack.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lucky?

We completely dominated the match for 70 minutes. How on earth does that translate to being lucky?

The Dogs had won 7 from 8 and we beat them without our best front rower, star centre and starting halves combination. They all return next week.

Im confident that our mini form slump is well and truly over. Its a long season and everyone will have one.

Also our gritty defence was back against the Dogs so im going Roosters by 13.

 

[eagles4eva]

Hopefully Snake returns for this one...

 

[Valheru]

Ah the dreaded we “should” win game against an opponent we rarely beat irrespective of form (the win at Brookvale earlier in the year not withstanding).

Manly are likely to be out of the top 4 by kickoff on Monday so they will be desperate.

 

[Timmah]

The Dogs had won 7 from 8 and we beat them without our best front rower, star centre and starting halves combination. They all return next week.

We were also missing our star centre and one of our starting halves, and our best front rower got knocked out in the first half.

Two points in it... I'd suggest you guys got away with it in the end given how easily we posted those last two tries.

Your best front rower hurt his shoulder in the first half, I'm not sure he was knocked out.

13 mins from the end SBW made 50 metre break & passed to Mortimer. Morts tackled & marker not square. No penalty given to Roosters under sticks...Bulldogs gain momentum from there on through penalties and unpoliced knocks ons....face it, the score flattered the Bulldogs well & truly.

More like we easily let you back in it due to complacency.

You don't, for example, claim that the score is reflective of what occurred when a team is leading 30-0, due to pure dominance, and let's the opposition back in 30-28 as a result of complacency.

As said, the score flattered you guys. We let you back in after the game was over

 

[Timmah]

Let us back after it was over?

So if that final kick doesn't go out and we magically score (remember Souffs against you last year?)... the game was actually over and it wouldn't have counted? :lol:

 

[Valheru]

The game wasn’t over but 14 points is a fair margin. I don’t think any Bulldogs supporter would suggest that they deserved to win that game. The bulldogs were clearly outplayed.

 

[Tommy Smith]

We thoroughly outfought, outmuscled and outplayed the Dogs on Friday night. And this despite missing more key players.

And yet somehow we were lucky?

Funny bunch...

 

[neutralsupporter]

Hey guys, the bulldogs obviously played better. Lets just give them the 2 points cause we'll still make the 8 anyway

 

[effnic]

Roosters vs Bulldogs thread >

 

[adamkungl]

Stop ruining the thread Tim.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Bulldogs got f**king bashed all night long. LOL this androtrop Dodger trying to convince the world they were anything comprehensively bashed and outplayed. 58-18, thanks for playing f**k off.

I hate monday games. Hopefully the Origin boys recover well. We're going to need to bash Manly, 2 games before the bye can't drop off now.

 

[Danish]

Hargraves took an early plea specifically so he could square off against the fat snitch Rose in this game. He is filthy on Rose for running his mouth in the papers like a bitch instead of leaving it on the field like a man.

Expect the tubby bastard to be adding an extra large brown polka dot to those ridiculous grandma panties he wears

 

[Lucas-Con]

Hargreaves is back roosters by 10 so long as refs call it down the middle.
