must be concerns over the preparation for saturdays night match

[fletch]

without doubt there must be concerns about the preparation of the side for Saturday given the way this ASADA investigation has blown up, especially for the likes of RTS/Moa/Cordner who have been outed in all the media articles this morning for being the players with the elevated HGH levels.

while it sounds very much like the players haven't done anything wrong, it is hard to imagine how these young men can be fully concentrating on the match ahead with all this news flying around the club.

I guess we won't know until after the match on Saturday whether the events/news of this week affected the players or not but from a Roosters fan the timing of this story breaking before their biggest match of the year is very suspect, especially if it is true the club informed the NRL months ago about those elevated tests.

All depends whether they've actually done anything wrong I guess. If they haven't done anything wrong, and so far there isn't any indication that they have, then they won't be worried and it won't affect their prep. If on the other hand....well that doesn't really bear thinking about .

Be interesting to see what happens with the betting markets over the next couple of days. That may tell a few stories.

No. Thankfully the players have a much better mental aptitude and 10 fold resilience than teams gone past for us and the majority of the chookpen. With the later spending the next three odd days flipping their shit over possible refs decisions etc.

It makes me sick.

The masses are fed rubbish and they love it.

All we can do is come out on Saturday and win well.

Storm in a teacup This should have no affect on our preparation Nor should it have any affect on our performance Saturday night If we are to be beaten and this is used an as an excuse by anybody Then it is an absolute cop out

[Spanner in the works]

I'm sure the players have known about this for a while. I have no doubts they've been conditioned to the current media environment surrounding the ASADA investigation. The club will put in a media ban if they haven't already. More importantly based on what has been published and how the club has acted we have done nothing wrong and acted responsibly.

the ultimate professional club, nowonder the rest all hate us so much!

[milanja]

the club has known about this all year, so should be no suprise,

carry on chooks.

[Waylander]

Robbo briefed the team yesterday that this was going to hit the papers. Forewarned is forearmed.

No problems for the boys .... the're ready to rip.

LMFAO you are a classic!! Questioning the mental aptitude of the majority of the chookpen, and I suppose according to you, you have an extremely high mental aptitude???

You still can't see what is happening can you, you half-witted ignorant naive fool!! As the majority of the chookpen have been saying for quite some time, it is so bloody obvious that the NRL want $ouff$ to win the comp. They have been trying to f**k us over with refereeing, judiciary, match scheduling and non of this has been working. Along with all the favors given to $ouff$ with all the refereeing and video ref decisions, match scheduling and judiciary decisions. So now they have to resort to this crap of drug accusations at a very convenient time!!

I just love how you try to write things off by explaining so many things as being coincidences or pass it off with your buzz word of "conspiracy", and that all conspiracies are not true!! Your explanations are just pi$$ weak as hell and with all the evidence staring you in the face, you prefer to just stick your head in the sand like the naive fool that you are and remain ignorant to it all!! Only a person with a weak mental aptitude would do such a thing!!

I realize and have come to terms, along with the majority of the chookpen that this crap happens in life, no need for the foil hats, it is just part of life unfortunately!

What the Roosters need to do, which I am confident and have faith that they are, is take all this obvious bull$hit that is happening to them and use it to galvanize them, make them even stronger and more determined to go all the way and win the premiership!!

Possibly the most ridiculous paranoid rubbish I have ever read on a footy forum. And that's saying something.

Well said You have such a way with words

Thank you Mr Walker!

Thank you madrooter! The bit about "galvanizing the team, making them even stronger and more determined to go all the way and win the premiership" was particularly ridiculous and rubbish according to you!! Just run along, go back to your bucket of sand champ!
