2022 R20 Thu - Manly 10-20 Sydney @ 4 Pines

[Babyface O'reilly]

We’ll take the two but we’re rubbish and not threatening the top four

 

[Someguy]

Lots of fallout for roosters. Collins season likely done, butcher to miss 4-5 weeks from that hit and JWH getting close to a suspension

As a proud lesbian I'd like to thank everyone for their support in this thread.

 

[Sonny83]

pour out a drink for those betting 13+ on Roosters

Oh same gurl!!

How bloody good is a Matt Nable monologue about Alex Johnston with his incomprehensible lion/gazelle ramblings.

 

[KOMORI]

Proud of the boys for trying their hearts out, pissed at the players who can’t see past their religious bias (though I respect their right to do so) and quietly fuming at the Pube Collector’s shithouse refereeing…

Raise a glass for the poor souls who had the Sombreros at 13+

Ducks, lions and gazelles. Nable to replace Attenborough?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Roosters won that by pure arse.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

That'll probably prove to be season over for Manly. There is gonna be dysfunction in that side after the drama of this week which will prove a distraction for the remainder. I can't speak for their supporters but I wouldn't treat missing out on a nothing 8th placed finish a huge loss anyway.

 

[Cowsboy]

Nothing galvanises rugby league players like a crisis. Wonderful and frustrating in equal measure.

As much as Mrs Robinson would have warned them, there had to be a bit of complacency in the Roosters efforts but yes it often does galvanise a group in many sports

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

Another plus for tonight.

No appearance of Silly Dill Scillions.

A HUGE veteran of about 40 odd NRL games.

Edit: Played 73 for the Bulldogs and 45 for the Roosters.

Love your avatar…

 

[skeepe]

Against a nearly full strength Roosters, awesome effort by the lads..

Congrats Roosters, good luck in the finals

To the 7 who let down their team mates and fans,. I'll leave my reply blank, just very disappointment in your blind selfish actions

I’m still not convinced they make the finals. The Raiders have a much, much easier run home.

Titans, Panthers, Dragons, Knights, Sea Eagles, Tigers

vs

Broncos, Cowboys, Tigers, Storm, Rabbitohs

I mean it would be the most Raiders thing ever to f**k up that run home, but either way it will be tough for the Roosters.

Meh i'm not so sure

We were on a hiding to nothing there and looks like everyone involved at the roosters wanted to get on and off that field as quickly as possible.

That was definitely our worst performance since the dogs game and we just take the points and never speak of this debacle again. The next 2 weeks will give a better indication of whether we can do some damage in September IMO.

Collins will be out for a period if not the season on top of Sitilli. SST is still a bit away and fingers crossed on the length of Butcher’s holiday.

Yeah the Collins one is unfortunate, I expect he won't play until finals if we make it.

SST I am hearing is not that serious and could be back as soon as next week although likely the week after given a 9 day turn around between broncos and cowboys. Butcher will get 2-3 weeks IMO

The elephant in the room here and I have the same opinion of the bloke as you... but Lodge is proving to be a very astute purchase purely from an on field standpoint. Playing quite well actually.

 

[Captain Apollo]

That was a bludger of a match. Roosters again too "panicky" in the second half with poor ball control. Some of them do it repeatedly not respecting holding the ball.

Yes Roosters faced much adversity.
