Bad luck Chooks, I guess we both know how each felt after that Round 1 match.
That was one of our toughest matches of the year, and I have no doubt if you play like that you will win games.
Cheers
Cheers..I'm gutted,but that was one hell of a game of footy..
Bad luck to you guys. You've been in 3 of the best games of the year. Round 1 v Souths, the game v Saints, and the Souths return.
Bloody hell, could you imagine a Souths v Roosters grand final.
Again cheers..
I dream of an Easts v Souths GF..
Half my family are staunch Easts..The other half staunch Souths..
To think I was actually arguing with some nuffy on why our biggest rivalry is against the Chooks.
The two games this year will never be forgotten, and good luck in trying to get youngsters to believe you when you tell them about it.
1 all i guess mate..Both games should've been Sunday arvo games,& the crowds for both would've doubled..As usual not enough respect was paid to the rivalry..
Bad luck Chooks. The better team lost tbh. See you again next year for another installment in what is truly an amazing rivalry.
I have first hand experience courtesy of round 1, so i know how gutted you must all be.
Cheers..Both games would be contenders for game of the year IMO..
And Round 1 2013 can't get here soon enough for me..
As pissed off as i am about us blowing an unblowable lead,i'm still proud of the way the boys got themselves back into the game in the second half..
I thought Cordner had a huge game,after some poor handling in the opening stanza..
Pearce had a similar game to his Anzac day game..Was brilliant at times,bit quiet in others..His pass for Moga's try was very classy..
Tasi was enormous,& is a real keeper..I sense greatness in the kid..
Mini had his best game of the year..He is nowhere near as elusive as he used to be,but he is one of the safest fullbacks in the comp..
