2019 FW1 Fri - Roosters 30-6 Rabbitohs @ SCG

[This Year?]

Gus: "he stuck his little leg out"

 

[Captain Apollo]

As are Fox League...

 

[GongPanther]

If your mob didn’t take the blood money selling their souls to news Corp, you’d have kept Freddy.

Don’t blame us for your club’s disgraceful management

Wrong...during the superleague war, nobody wanted us. It wasn't until a final hour meeting between Penrith and NEWS LTD that we showed them our plan on how we could be relevant. Gould was an instigator for the ARL side of things in signing up clubs,players,etc, and didn't want a bar of us.

As far as I'm concerned, the ARL was waiting for the war to settle down, so the rest of the ARL or Parramatta could absorb what was left of the Penrith carcass. NEWS LTD gave Penrith a lifeline (7 clubs signed with SL on the 20th April. Penrith 2 weeks later on the 3rd of May) , and a lot of ppl in Penrith haven't forgot when the ARL left them high and dry.

Panthers were like a shag on a rock at that time, and it was unnerving as nobody was taking interest at all with our clubs future on the chopping block.

Swapped over to Fox Sports News to check our Bennett’s presser and the missus next to me on the lounge: “Is he speaking at his own wake”

 

[Captain Apollo]

Yeah, sounds grim. He admitted picking Douehi to play wing was a mistake.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Would not be surprised at all to see Bennett pack it in and endorse Demetriou as his successor once Souffs are out. He looks like he's had it.

 

[Bowzy]

What’s the go with Penrith fans having a sook whenever the Roosters win? You guys have a plethora of juniors to pick from and one of, if not the most profitable leagues club backing your club. Yet you want to sit here and have a sook about the Roosters lol.

The game has passed him

They're an odd breed.

It is our fault their team is shit apparently.

They have this perception we keep taking their players but I can't remember a decent junior we have taken from them since Freddy and that was over 2 decades ago.

MATCH REPORT - Roosters 30 Rabbitohs 6:

Hot Chooks roast Rabbitohs to go through to Preliminary Final
Sam Bourke | September 13 2019 10:16PM

Sydney Roosters v South Sydney Rabbitohs

The defending premiers have thrashed the Rabbitohs 30-6 and sent a clear message out to the NRL - the Roosters are bigger, better and faster than in 2018, and will take some stopping if they aren't to become the first side since the Broncos sides of the 1990's to go back to back.

In a six tries to one demolition, it was the Rabbitohs former premiership five-eighth Luke Keary who terrorised his former side, having a hand in three tries, with four line break assists for the Tricolours. Last year's Clive Churchill medallist was ably assisted by NSW's current Brad Fittler medallist in James Tedesco who was again superb for the superstar side.

[big hit!]

Dunno about that.

I give the Raiders a real shot against the Storm.

That’ll play out like this battle did. Melbourne will win the match that matters

 

[big hit!]

I’ve been a fan of Rusty ever since

Keary will be a thorn in the Rabbitohs side for years to come

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Lol @ Souffs

 

[BranVan3000]

Kill me

 

[Mr Spock!]

Dunno.

I thought this would happen after the Roosters raped the Rabbits in the semis last year.

There's not much to shutting the Rabbits attack down (hint:Walker and Cook).

Yep, the kid was always going to be a star and Souths didn't want him.

There’s that, but look at the Rabbitohs outside backs in this match - Allan, Graham, Roberts, Douehi... doesn’t say finals winners to me. Defence on the left side was deplorable tonight. Lost it here in the first 20 mins.

Canberra have got the match up they think they want because they beat them, and that’s what any one is thinking about. Remember Melbourne got a start on them a few weeks back. Storm won’t let them back this time if that happens which I think it will again and blow out

Without Gould and Freddy turning your club around after 8 seasons missing the finals you might have had to merge.

if penrith weren't admitted into the competition in 1967, they may never have been in a first grade comp

The NSWRL at the time wanted Wentworthville, that suburb 2km from Parramatta. Pretty much on the grounds that Wentworthville had won the second division every year since it started and Penrith was somewhere out near Wilcannia, accessible only by a 4 day trip by horse and cart. It took a concerted campaign to change their mind. Shortsightedness in this game is not new. A couple of weeks after Penrith was announced as the new first division team, they won the 1966 second division GF over Wentworthville.

 

[Danish]

JWH should be gone for a trip. Luckily for him our movement was too slick and there wasn't much he could do.

(Let me find humour in something...)

Grade 2 kicking charge coming up to the Souths bloke for attacking JWH’s shin?
