Game Day: Chooks v Manly [Round 2, 2020]

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Attn Cherry haters. Who would you prefer?

Give me kane Elgey anyday of the week

Attn Cherry haters. Who would you prefer?

Good point , and for the record I don’t hate him.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Parker would benefit with a faster winger on his outside. He is really looking comfortable as a centre now

Taufua is a slug and has no game awareness

Walker needs more touches and hopefully Olakau'atu actually gets some decent minutes this week.

 

[eagleron]

Why are the roosters allowed to have fans in attendance? Especially ones vocalising their thoughts over the running of the game. That is a huge advantage.

Politis is running the NRL, Greenturd hasn't got the balls to say no

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We are still well and truly in this , don’t throw the towel in just yet!!

 

[mickqld]

Dce last tackle kicking is killing us. Where are the grubbers and attempts to get repeat sets. Easy kicks to Tupou with no pressure is just giving it to them

No Keppie so he will

Again the referees seem to think that as long as the Roosters are back 10 metres in total over the course of a six-tackle set, they're fine. And Melbourne-like bull**** in the ruck is apparently okay too. The thing is, we don't even try to do it because we know we'll be penalised straight away.

Walker and parker were great that half, building a nice combo. But Jorge, he is just too slow, always off the pace. Real liability, and takes his eyes off the ball. Plus he runs out of the line and is not quick enough to turn around and cover

Great D . Get some penalties and we win. Dylan and Parker going great.
Very similar to Storm game. Ball control decides it.
Win lose or draw our defence will make us a contender this year.

 

[grassy]

I hope we have a game plan in the second half. Our attack goes nowhere. Walker and Tom are our best.

 

[joeboy]

What excuses? We're all saying he's having a bad game.

It’s the people making excuses FOR him having a bad game. I got no problem with people saying he is having a bad game, he is, and I’m being vocal about it too. I’m sick of people making excuses for his bad form

 

[Cioran]

Attn Cherry haters. Who would you prefer?

JetSki. If all he’s going to do is throw the ball sideways we may as well have a dynamic runner in the position. Someone else can take over chipping the ball to Tupou.

It's frustrating because we have periods of dominance and poor last-tackle options mean we get no reward. Defence is great, but it's still ideal to do as little of it as you have to!

 

[The Royal Soup]

Roosters offside every tackle the whole half and of course they winning the count 6-3

our last tackle options are garbage like there were last week

 

[cherry_poppins]

Taufua is a slug and has no game awareness

Go follow your own team at one eyed eel

I don’t know if it’s already being mentioned, but the 10 metres is a joke. And I love Belinda Sharpe...as a touchy. She’s calling hold, hold in the Roosters defence, and they’re blatantly 1-2 metres in front of her.

 

[niccipops]

Go Manly! 6 all. Not bad.
Very glad for the try. Was horrible to have no tries last week.
I honestly think Manly's attack has been better than the chooks. Hope they continue with it.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I’m not a Cherry hater as he is one of my favourites. Apart from the try assist to Turbo he has been ordinary.
