2021 R9 Fri - Parramatta 31-18 Sydney @ Bankwest

[Bazal]

8 from 9. Well I guess Eels are better than most teams.

Gotta be happy with it when we've honestly played at less than 75% most weeks and less than 50% a few.

Very lucky tonight, a full strength Roosters would have slaughtered us on that effort. Of course we clearly turned up taking them lightly as well.

How bout them Panthers?

Did anyone bother watching that game?
They won didn’t they?

 

[GongPanther]

This game is like when you’re at woollies and Susan comes on the loud speaker letting you know that the hot chooks are half price

Nothing wrong with that. So $4 for a chook is a bargain. The roast beef or pork is also pretty good.

 

[SDM]

Fair play to the Roosters, they roll up their sleeves, unlike Souffs.

They are... only Panthers n Storm would be genuinely ahead (better) of them. Table aside.

Moses brilliant yet again. Walker who?

Plus Suaali is getting more attention than us

Yeah that is ridiculous

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

So...if both sides @ full strength, who would have won? Lets find out in the finals.

Except we have three players who won’t be coming back this year.

 

[84 Baby]

Beer o’clock! What time does the next game kick off?

 

[84 Baby]

Except we have three players who won’t be coming back this year.

Wrong answer. The correct answer was Smugfers.

 

[KennySterling]

They did have a guy called Brett Morris in the team...

This Roosters squad just keep producing guys ready for first grade. Like the Storm.

Brett who ?

Only joking. But what a back-up winger this guy is. Remember him winning in WCC at Wigan in 2019.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Great player whose career just died at Titans. Well not great. But could have been if he didnt go where careers go to die.

Yeah and at the same time as personal issues he had, a factor in the move.

But that aside just to see a guy playing well, when most people would ridicule him n thought he’d go to the scrapheap... I’m just genuinely happy for him.

 

[wittyfan]

In my mind, I had allocated some games were I thought Walker’s gonna get schooled. Tonight’s game wasn’t one of them.

It was a clinic tonight.

So...if both sides @ full strength, who would have won? Lets find out in the finals.

Imo, the Roosters - we just don't have the Finals experience to match them, nor that extra gear come Finals time that the good sides have.

But it's round 9 - I'll take 8 wins from 9 games any day.

Moses had a good game. Think Sam didn’t embarrass himself

 

[blaza88z]

Moses brilliant yet again. Walker who?

Moses has come a long way mate but he's not quite at the level of Dylan Walker

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

We f**ked up and derped, occasionally balded and ran out of troops but we showed lots of guts and character. Congrats Parra fans. Not their best night but take the wins when they come and cement that top four spot but they have some work to do.

While I’m sure you are anyway, you should be proud of your club tonight. Most others would have fallen to bits. Says a lot about the Roosters... I genuinely admire them.

 

[Bazal]

Moses had a good game. Think Sam didn’t embarrass himself

They were pretty even IMO. Difference is one played in a side that was on the back foot most of the game

Moses was, bizarrely, our least dumb playmaker. He's developed a great kicking game.

But Walker is a superstar in waiting.
