Team & coach are a disgrace

[Eggspert]

Obviously you are a youngster as a Roosters supporter and not knowing the old days when it was 20 years between Grand finals ( 1980 and 2000) and 27 years between premierships ( 1975 and 2002).

Since 2000 - 8 Grand Finals and 4 premierships - only Penrith have won more - 5 which included 4 in a row.

I'm right now talking about that ridiculous loss tonight....surely you ca t defend that?

Old Wayne has said that rates as one of his greatest victories in 1000 1st grade games.

He realises how ridiculous it was for them to win.

[mattyh]

You keep mentioning it but I'm not sure it's relevant, I've only supported the Roosters for the past 25 years does that mean I have to live through a 20 year grand final drought before I can be upset or considered a real fan?

The Roosters have much more resources now and a fanbase that expects to compete for trophies.

sorry mate , in Salvo world you are a bronze medal supporter, because you dare question selections and coaching in the interests of making the team better .

we mere mortals can only aspire to one day be gold medal supporters who neither question coaching, tactics nor selections despite being 1 win and 4 losses.

you must try harder ...

[King Salvo]

Ummm maybe they are playing & being coached & represent a team called the Sydney Roosters.

Therefore i dont know who else you can point the finger at.

Should the fans who support them & fork out their hard earned blame themselves for that rubbish?

We all know you don't like Coach Robinson as you have indicated so many times before - No use denying this either.

Coach Robinson will Coach on irrespective of your views so get used to it

You followed Penrith though and then switched as you said- No different to Easts75 who put money on the Roosters to miss the 8 and come last - Neither of you can be considered true red , white and navy blue supporters.

When you say “we all”, it implies that you are speaking on behalf of all Chookpen members. Please don’t include me in your absurd rhetoric, where you pretend to be the Roosters No.1 supporter and at a moral level above all others. NEWSFLASH……YOU'RE NOT on either count.
You just lack any passion for the club and results clearly don’t matter to you. Mediocrity is your friend and I’d argue that you are not really a supporter of the club, but just a troll taking potshots at real supporters that actually care about the success of the club.
If they read the shit that you post, even Coach Robinson and Uncle Nick would think that you are an absolute flog. Hard to disagree, one would say.

That's sport though and things happen when teams win when in hindsight they should not have won for whatever reason- How many teams have you seen win when not expected to win.

The last I have seen was the Atlanta Braves in 2021- World Series Winners - injuries galore

They didn’t record their first winning record until Aug. 6 2021 ( above .500) -- the latest date for an eventual World Series participant, let alone a champion -- and they totalled just 88 wins, easily the fewest among MLB’s 10 playoff teams that year in 2021 - 162 game regular season.

Sad that a lot of that team are no longer Braves though

Obviously, another Lee J. Cobb-type character like in 12 Angry Men.

A true and real supporter supports a team/club who wins, loses or draws, but for the Fairweather "supporters" like you and those you fail to name, only results matter - i.e. only support them when they win and dish them when they lose, as you call these results mediocre.

Pretender "Supporters" like you, should follow someone else or another sport, as one never ever sees you post even one response of any substance of any support for the team or club, plus on any Junior or Senior reps and NRLW topics.

Oh yeah, you support the club you say - we all know you don't.

Everyone knows I support the club as who posts the junior and senior pathways teams lists plus NRLW and now NRL team lists and results.

You need to visit yeh yeh advanced hair and maybe you won't be so negative

When you look at last night they played with no halves in the second half. We trump them there though as we’ve played all 4 games with no halves, so big deal.

[BondiBob]

We didn't have any halves either.

Mate halves can’t fire without forwards laying a platform that said both our halves first step is sideways and not straight like Cleary or other good halves which doesn’t help the players outside them

[Arties Pie]

As poor as Townsend is playing remember he wasn’t signed to play first grade as he is and was NSW Cup standard when he was signed, So no shock he is still playing at that level.

Sandon Smith has been a real disappointment he has had enough first grade experience to show he can improve on where he was a year ago when we was Utility off the bench but he hasn’t shown any real improvement.

On Robbo, maybe his ideas are getting a bit stale but who are you going to replace him with ? Bellamy won’t leave Melbourne, Fitzy has got the Sharks to a top 4 team or there about. Like good halves there are literally not many really good coaching options better than Robbo available.

I never bag the team if there is effort and nobody can deny they certainly tried hard. Cut out the stupid mistakes and silly penalties. A couple of stupid strips last night that really didn’t help.

Without criticism there is no room for improvement & complacency sets in...which there is plenty of atm.

They should be bagged from pillar to post for that loss....you would have thought we had only 1 reserve & lost both halves & had an exceptable loss going by defenders of that rubbish.

They are not U8's where you are glad their was effort & they tried hard.

They are supposedly a professional well paid footy team. FFS

Docker-Clay's strip deep inside South's half, whilst the game was in the balance, and they still had a captain's challenge. Souths kick down field and score. No point some fans whinging about the forward pass when the game was well in our control, until it wasn't.

[The Brain]

Coach taking off Watson with 20 to go had me scratching my head...Robbo gets it so wrong so often...
