They haven't been that poor since 2012

[Ray Stehr]

I don't think they could have played worse than that. Let's hope some of the cobwebs have been cleared. They clearly needed a proper hitout against an NRL side, they were poor in much of the game against Wigan and it was somewhat masked by a convincing win. I'll be expecting a much more disciplined performance in rd2. They'll know exactly what they need to address.

a massive wake up call! it hurt but it was just what we needed?

[Ray Stehr]

Forget souffs, any NRL team would have beaten us tonight.

Mini needs to retire. Right now.

[Ray Stehr]

Mini was poor but so were all the others.

[stephenj]

no chance mini will retire now his ego has been boosted as face of the nrl so were stuck with him for another 25 games at least?

You can't single Mini out Maloney was atrocious as was most of them. I thought Cordner was hogging the ball a lot. But any way you look at it you can't win games when you keep losing possession.

Mini is just the easy target for people that want to try blaming 1 man for all our problems

No grind, no pressure, totally outmuscled.

I thought it was mostly mental - there seemed to be little urgency in their game until the second half.

Also, LOD will be missed. There is a certain confidence you get having a complete nutjob like him alongside you in the pack.

Overall, cobwebs.....totally expected for mine.

our lack of cohesion in attack was disturbing tonight it was like they have never played together, apart from Jennings try from the rebound and kick we didn't really look like scoring again all night.

0 line breaks in 80 mins from a team that led the league last year is obviously a concern.

it was only round 1 but with our draw around origin we don't want to give away too many early in the season.

[Darkone]

A team UN effort from all

Frankly am relieved we lost that one, cop it, take the medicine, come back to earth

We are doomed because Gus hasnt seen a Roosters team bunched behind the ball like that for over 4 year .What load of shit its the first game of the year ,We were beaten by a better team . Our team will bounce back and all of those panic merchants , just slit your wrists now
