They will take lessons out of that loss

Roosters players never did this even when the team was successful

Yeah they have, JWH always gave plenty of time to the fans

We could refresh this thread every 2nd round this year and make no actually progress

With 3 losses out of 5 games there should be plenty to learn.

Showed character in the second half but not sure about the culture. Last week I was at the Rooster's and Riff game and after playing 80 minutes of football several Penrith players stay out on the field signing autographs and taking photos with the fans for over an hour after the game. Not one Rooster's player stayed out with the fans and for me that said a lot about the difference in the culture of two clubs. I know they lost last week but Ive seen losing teams stay out with the fans after the game many times.

Get over it. It’s not always about you.

the bad start needs to be worked on but there was a lot to like. losing 2 of your spine to concussion and having a bloke sent off in the first half and then coming back strongly shows the team has ticker. that counts for something.

Here’s a lesson … sitili is not a starter. His effort plays esp in the first half were terrible. Second half was better but he plays most effectively off the bench.

They almost always walked straight off on away days

Possibly to avoid a cold shower which, I think, you should avail yourself of.

Lessons haven't been learnt for five years. Why will they start now?

You can guarantee whenever Melbourne put in a bad performance (which is rare) they come out firing the following week.

We were ordinary against Penrith and even worse the following week.

Not good enough. It's the coach's job to have them prepared every week, not once or twice a month.

Being in the NRL is a profession. If this was the corporate world and his staff were performing as they are, Robbo would be fired.

Could potentially be missing 7-8 players next week depending on whether Radley gets charged and whatever is going on with Nat Butcher.

Nat Butcher?

Injuries and inconsistency.

Nothing changes.

Good to see all the players out signing autographs and being with the fans after the game.

In the sheds after full time:

• the Roosters players were drinking waters
• the Eels players were drinking beers

Which team won?

Parra have a bye next week, we have a game to play.

This isn’t pub footy.

Roosters played 14 - Won 8
Eels played 14 - Won 4

What's that got to do with it, are you saying none of our players had a beer after the Cowboys game?
