Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[bondi.boy]

What's frustrating is the difference between our Round 6 and Round 7 performance. It's like day and night. How could they possibly vary so much?

From world beaters to a shit show in a matter of days. FFS!

Our different team, different oppositions, different referee.

eg:

round 6 Storm beat Warriors 42 - 14

round 7 Dolphins beat Storm 42 - 14

Last year we finished 3rd...in spite of losing Walker and Brandon Smith to injury.

1. Panthers
2. Storm
3. Roosters

Want better results from Trent?
Then make/buy him better players to coach, and lobby for a fairer draw, and better refereeing.

Given what passes for refereeing of our games today, the only way we're ever going to win games is to compile a team of big, muscular, tough players who can bash, smash and trash opposition teams (legally of course).
Giants who can run hard at the line thru/over the opposition out wide. A la Latrell 2018/2019.

Robbo allowed 2 of them to leave.

Sitili and May are in career best form! Both are big tough skilled and experienced players. It's clear as day that we miss their contribution.

As the head coach, he could've managed this transition rebuilding year better. The planning for this season has been poor. I don't think you need to finish near the bottom to eventually have success.

Fans have every right to feel disappointed!

The Storm will only have 1 or 2 shockers a year.

We will have a PHD in shockers by the end of the season

oh ffs I've heard enough on here re Robinson.

we all know why there are inconsistencies in the results , the team are young, the youmgsters needed game time or would leave .

last year and 23, and 22 you'd be hard pressed to find a sitiili fan on these here pages , as for may I heard he hit on another players missus , if not thst it was a lackadaisical attitude which the roosters do not tolerate and I'm happy about that .

stop acting disingenuious , seriously I suspect some on here know all this but continue the bs diatribe against robbo .

if robbo is that bad , go on name 1 single available replacement , since 2013 guys has missed 1 finals series ....not good enough for you , seriously piss off .

absolutley over the bullshit on this site, like late last year when it became an anti souffs forum rather then a roosters fan page , seriously guys and gals im not here to argue with anyone but some of the takes in this place are ridiculous , that robbo needs to move on is the top of the list.

This place would be pretty boring if we all praised Robbo and backed his and the clubs decisions.

Furthermore, it would fail to generate enough interest to keep it running!

Yep..lets just blame the young guys...easy targets.

Then we'll blame the refs (guilty myself yesterday)

Then let's blame the players who left last season.

Then let's blame injuries...etc..etc..etc...etc..etc..

It's almost like Robbo's the only coach in the NRL world who can bring this young group of players up to scratch.....quick sign him up for another 10yrs before someone steals him.

Yes let's.
Let's blame the fact that so many best players left last season, leaving gaping holes in the forwards and backs.

Yes let's blame injuries, particularly to Walker and Brandon Smith.

Let's also blame the refereeing, certainly wasn't/isn't in our favour, far from it.
Certainly not what other teams, especially the teacher's pet teams, get at their home games.

Teddy's wasting his time and effort talking to referees, should just treat them as they treat us.
No way he should be shaking hands with them after games, given the way most of them treat us.

Is bondi boy a poorly programmed bot? Every week it's talking about the need for a big, powerful forward pack while the team dominating the comp has gone small

Nah, a real live person.

Guess you mean the Dogs.

Dogs' starting props

Max King...age 27 tough from Maitland...105kg
Suluka-Fifita 112kg

xxx

Xerri 99kg muscular, fast
Crichton big, fast, 99kg

Preston 100kg

Hayes 102kg
Todd 106kg

Sitili 101kg

Salmon a lightweight at 96kg.

Dogs bought a team of experienced
players.

Dogs' draw:

Rnd

1 Dragons
2 Titans
3 Eels
4 Sharks
5 Knights
6 bye
7 Souths


We're struggling with a team of young and inexperienced players including a RU convert.
Looks like buying a team is the best idea.
