Round 21 - The Roosters

[betcats]

One thing is certain.

Was obvious 4 weeks ago.

No nath, no gf. He really is the key.

Other than some individual brilliance tonight our attack was a shambles.

Luai and burton do not work. They might scrap wins but we saw what happens last week against a 85% fit premiership team.

He really is they key.

we were nowhere near 85 percent last week if you count the cap instead of number of players out.

 

[Goonji]

We have beaten the Roosters the last 4 times we played them.

Mate I’m reading your dribble, I’m counting your paragraphs. Momo was fine, you’re a clown.

Clearly you read posts as well as you read the game. Which is not at all if you think Momirovski is a decent centre. He only f**ks up absolutely every area of the game you need a centre to be good in.

Yet somehow you think he's better than Critter. Either you're trolling or you don't know shit about rugby league. Tago has filled in to the same lineup and structure twice now for an immediate improvement with all things being equal. Literally improved that spot in seconds both times.

The storm were only 85%

 

[Girds89]

Nelson and tui for them are huge

 

[betcats]

People slamming Staines for the missed tackle is fair enough but that was by far his worst defensive play all year, who dropped the ball to put us in that position? Who threw an average pass to contribute to the dropped ball?

Staines had 70m and still ran for more than momo.

 

[betcats]

The storm were only 85%

my bad I misunderstood. Take their best half, hooker, two best forwards abd their best outside back out and we would do them comfortably at 85 percent IMO.

Look i think momo was actually ok tonight.

But critta is better and to be completley honest tagos looked better in limited minutes and bouncing from left to right and side to side.

The critta lovers will hate that but tago really looks legit. Diference between him and others is he wants the ball. He wants the contact... he wants the battle.

Tago wants to get involved. Hes confident enough to have the ball in his hands. A few others cant say that.

Its an early prediction but come 2023 i think our backline will be

1. Turuva
2. Too
3. Critta
4. Tago
5. May

The problem is they arent at 85%.. they are coming into the end of season at full strength.. we 110% have to improve to match them

Taylan looked better on debut than staines has all year. It doesnt please me to say that but its just the truth.

It doesnt supeise me. Taylans a winger.

No doubt they are the team to beat. I think when we played them earlier in the year we were both at similar strengths and managed to get them so if we can get Nath and Bizza back for the finals and not lose anyone else I think we have a great shot.

 

[BxTom]

I think we can streamline this thread if everyone just uses this template:

"I think [Player I Like] played well/great/fantastic, but [Player I Don't Like] played like shit. [Poster Name] is a tool/idiot/moron for thinking [Player I Like] played badly (or [Player I Don't Like] played well).

Up the Panthers!"

You're welcome.

Finishing with <insert poster name> isn't a real fan

Yeah i agree. Biz and natb are huge

A lot do. Staines debut was great. The grind of week to week first grade is totally different and second year syndrome is a thing for a reason. In saying that he's not letting the team down. Just need 5kg and Cleary back on the right.

 

[Girds89]

Anyone watching storm manly still think its a 2 horse race. Idiots lol.

Fact is a if turbo stays fit manly can upset anyone.. hes that good.

I think if we get cleary back and him and too stay fit its a battle between
Melbs
Us
Sths
Manly

 

[Girds89]

Edwards....
205m
1 try assist
1 line break assist
6 tackle breaks...

Style hammered on here by the usual suspects.

Its funny cause they are brilliant numbers... id consider that a quiet night for him and he still gets pegged down on here.

Always does the hard stuff but also killed the attack anytime he moved into the backline

 

[betcats]

Is it just me or does Tommy turbo carve up average and shit teams but not do to much against good sides? We kept him pretty quiet, storm doing the same so far besides a nice pass for that try.

Manly just aren't that good and he can be shut down because he's the only attacking weapon they have

A lot so. Staines debut was great. The grind of week to week first grade is totally different and second year syndrome is a thing for a reason. In saying that he's not letting the team down. Just need 5kg and Cleary back on the right.

He scored 4 tries, all where he barley was touched running in to score.

Tmay jnr scores all them on debut too mate..

He offered more than staines has in a year of fg..i called it.

Tmay jnr
17 runs
194m
2 linebreaks
6 tackle breaks


Staines tackle % 44%
Tmay jnr 100%.

Staines let in a clear try all be it a hard stop but it shouldve been made.

Hes been protected on here by you and othere on here but hes just not an nrl standard winger.

Its been obvious all year..i called it after a few weeks of the season and said he needed to go back to ressies. Not sure why some of you are so one eyed. Take of the pennies glasses and its easy to see his not an nrl grade winger.
