Sydney Roosters vs Parramatta Eels: NRL Magic Round live scores, blog

All in all , a good weekend in every way for the Panthers. :thumbup:

I agree about Waka at centre, he’s average at best. But at Wing he brings good size running out of the red zone and creates a genuine threat in attacking plays. There is very little for opposition defences to worry about at the moment from the backline once it leaves the hands of brown and Moses

He was also on a scholarship at Kings for Union and as I understand, he was prevented to play for them by Souths, so they were a bit dudded too

Like I told Red Rob... Suaalii received a Big payday from Souths for a junior while he was in the Rabbitohs lower grades and for what? What did Souths get out of it? All to fall to pieces when Nick Politis coached Suaalii to come up with some ludicrous conditions on his Rabbitohs contract that no team would sign allowing a player to walk out without notice. No way those conditions were on his Roosters contract. They gave it lip service but who actually saw it in black and white? No way Politis would have allowed that escape clause. No Roosters players has ever been given that option. The whole thing was a stitch up. Souths were robbed.

BS! Suaalii is a South Sydney junior. That has been well documented. The Panthers already have a quarter of NSW as their junior nursery. Don't get greedy!

When it comes to the chooks Poss it is all i can offer and I felt dirty giving it. :silly: But job well done by your boys. The Bunnies win this week felt like a loss. Any chance of getting our former Rabbitohs back? Actually, Id settle for getting Adam Reynolds back from the Broncos.

Well GB Souths should of signed Joey Suaalii when they had the chance..No crying over spilt milk now..Souths lose is Roosters gain!!!

Thanks GB for the back handed congrats but we'll take it.. :thumbup:

Better now in round 10 Ben than late in the season or in the finals. It's hard to play at such an elite level every week. The Panthers learnt that last week against the Eels.

Penrith junior (Glenmore Park)

Premiership winning teams don’t have those speed bumps. It’s so typical of us.

Good call David. Cheers.

Does anybody agree with me that Sam Walker looks like comedian, Hamish Blake?

Congrats Roosters fans. A really good win courtesy of former Rabbitohs and a Broncos junior. :silly: Commiserations Eels fans, especially mighty (Eelsalmighty). Hardly the end of the road for the Eels but a significant speed bump for a team with genuine top 4 aspirations. Same thing for the Sharks.

I know mate. I’m with you.

I remember. No bad feelings about that? My question was in reference to Rabbitohs fans feelings towards South Sydney junior Joseph Suaalii.

The onus falls on the defender. Players aren’t deliberately ducking, to get concussed, and get taken from the field. Defenders need to bend their backs. Hit under the ball. Rugby have been far stricter (in terms of yellows & reds) and you are starting to see a difference.

I certainly don’t disagree - I just get somewhat despondent since every other team between 3rd and 8th spot has won a premiership in the last 30 years :laughing:

Souths did. He was a South Sydney junior before he became an ingrate and a turncoat. He received a Big payday from Souths for a junior while He was on the Rabbitohs lower grades and for what? What did Souths get out of it? All to fall to pieces when Nick Politis coached Suaalii to come up with some ludicrous conditions on his Rabbitohs contract that no team would sign allowing a player to walk out without notice.

Sivo yes, but Blake’s never been as good as BA seems to think he is.
