Going to take a massive turn around stop this turning into Darwin all over again

We can put this down to Boyd and Pearcey's Excellent Adventure. Thanks fellas. Thats what team sport is all about. Being there for your mates.

Exactly... who can take a team with SBW as 5/8 seriously? Totally wrecked our prep for a crucial game.

Some games nothing goes your way. Bounce of the ball kills you. This is one of those nights.

No point ranting at players and calling them idiots, coz next week u will be telling us all how amazing they are.

Put this game to bed. Forget about it. Nothing to see here. Move on. If we pull off a miracle, so be it. If we lose there is always next week and I can still play the solo to Comfortably Numb 

Sensible words JC re tonight except I reserve the right to call someone an idiot after they do an idiotic thing.....and lol I'm going to play the intro to Sweet Alabama

The funny thing is if we score first second half I can see our team making a run.

Sonny has been really poor. Having him play as five-eight makes him do less of the other tough stuff. Need his yardage game not his fancy ball playing right now.

Game maybe lost but I hope the team makes this respectable. 24 points isn't much in the modern game.

I think they should Mortimer to half, malomey to 5/8 and put Williams back to 2nd row

[Fairfax]

SBW... didnt he used tol play for us?

[The Brain]

I never rule out miracle comebacks but with the breeze in the second half... See ya'll at the Dogs game.

Our defense is absolutely shit they are killing me.
So Pearce's absence has been costly we are completely disorganized.
I said it was a bad move to have Sonny Bludger Bill at 5/8th.
and some painful ref stuff.
i wanna know how their second try was awarded when two players were clearly off side right in front of the kicker?.
Our forwards are been steam rolled by the bloke I said we must buy Tariq Sims .You dont rate Him then your mad.He is better than Lui and Frank Paul and currently Heargraves has become crap.
They would be very lucky to turn this around Im doubtful.

Ben Ikin is such a dork.
And the worst player ever to play origin.

[fletch]

not sure Robbo has ever blown a gasket at the players but now would be as good a time as any.

I wonder what the players would be thinking seeing Pearce sitting in the change rooms in trackies when he should be on the field, not sure he should have been rewarded with a trip to Townsville after his performance last weekend.

[Guest]

This has been a very lethargic performance so far and I can not help but think that our team have left their minds back in Sydney. This will be a very large scoreline at the end of 80 minutes if they do not show some more urgency in the second. I believe that the scoreline is already too much to bring back however some respectability going in to next Friday will be needed.

[Fairfax]

Pearce should have been left at home.

[Kingbilly]

This is nothing short of pathetic. I doubt (at least I hope) we will not see them this bad for a long long time.
The Commitment is non existant there is no passion.

regardless of how the Roosters are playing, after several NRL failures this week (including the WOL lunch) and the way the game is now with refereeing and new rules, I proclaim the game of RL is on its last knees as a premier sport

[Guest]

You're wrong...

Is anybody home ?

That makes it 10 from 10 correct forecasts.

This year has been a disaster. This side is a shadow of the side last year, and will not defend the title.
Our wins this year have been against non contenders .
The roosters have lost to manly, dogs, Souths and cowboys.....all contenders. Parramatta I don't rate.
Next week, we will hopefully play an under strength dogs side.

Do we have any forwards playing tonight?? What a bunch of pussies!!!!

[Guest]

Thurston was in front of the kick there but hey who cares, go dem Cowboys!!I&@^!

Thurston was minimum 2 mtrs in front of the kicker, on the mini no try Tupou knocked it on after a) the cowboy knocked it on 1st and b) Tupou is tackled without the ball??
