Roosters vs Sharks Match Discussion

[Fairfax]

But we bombed so many chances. As well as killing our momentum coming out of our end we just keepputting pressure on ourselves. 100 more tackles than the Sharks was it? No wonder the pigs are tired... Aiden hasn't been roght since he came back from injury.

Then he should be rested.

Our halves with the so called structures our coach has us playing is so predictable boring and difficult to watch as our squad is mentally weak when things don't go their way. If not mentally weak then they lack total imagination taught by the coach with 2013 tactics

RTS stuffed our season...and the news that Maloney is being shown the door was the final nail in our 2015 'coffin'.

Maubs had an ordinary game after a blinder on Monday. Just isn't a centre.

At least my game ticket gets me a free cheeseburger...

True.

We won't win the comp until Pearce fixes that kicking game. It has been terrible. He's a better footballer than that but time and time again with those silly bombs. And geez the depth perception was off tonight. How many 7 tackle sets did they get? It hurt us badly.

[bondi paul]

I really really really dislike our lack of imagination in attack. When the pressure is on, we need more than structure. We need imagination, something different, more ad-lib footy. We basically scored 0 trys today given Maloney's length of the field effort was a fluke. Shocking game

I doubt Robbo has that ability to coach the team with a plan B - yet to see it and wonder what does our assistant pommy coach ever do ?

Too disappointed to go grocery shopping...I had the misfortune to watch parts of the second half.

What I saw;

. Useless Napa fail to pass the ball out to an unmarked backline.
. Jennings serving up more garbage play....saving himself for Origin?

And the $800,000 man dropped the ball when we had a chance to score and possibly win the match..

A pathetic rabble...that's the end of the Roosters for 2015.

Lord only knows what they do at training all week long...it sure ain't "possession of the ball" and "short passes to players running onto the ball at pace are everything" tactics.

Lol, did you only watch the last 10 minutes? How about Pearce being unable to put in a decent attacking kick all game? How about Jake Friend dropping the ball cold on a number of occasions? How about Skids, Tupou, Jennings and Aubs all making several unforced errors? How about countless missed tackles by Maloney? How about the whole team played like shit from minute 1-80.

4 tries bombed 3 were certainties
Bombs were ok to a dgree we didnt contest any of them they did though.
Cronulla were shit but we were shittier
Backs were asleep all arvo including Tuivasacheque
Taki was awesome.
whats the go with Moa and JWH they were off for too long.
Pearce was great for 15 minutes then disapeared ,probably kidnapped by aliens

Trent can't catch the ball for them. Had they held half of those fumbles, we win by 20.

But he can show them a plan B, if he has one...
This shot from 9 says it all for me. While Flannagan is inspiring his team of hasbeens..





Trent just plods along with them. You can see it how interested they are.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Can I mention the Bermuda triangle... Just once more?

Has anyone heard the press conference yet ...if so post a link ??
Three options with Pearce's bombs: either he is playing to instruction to bomb on 6th tackle, which is a poor reflection on Trents instructions, 2 he is told to grubber now and again but is disobeying instructions or three he has free reign to do as he wants and has no f..ing idea how to change tactics when the bombs aren't working !!

Worst TEAM performance from a rooster side since 2009....except for JWH...

In the 1st half, Pearce bombed on a 3rd tackle...not sure who he was trying to surprise...maybe the cameramen.
