Roosters V Storm Friday night

[Thirteen]

Who is that with? That is overs.

Centerbet has Storm at 2.90 and us at 1.43. Storm have firmed in betting since Cummins was appointed (?volunteered) for our game. Bookies are not silly - they know our record under "off your head" Cummins is nothing short of appalling. He is the man to put an end to our streak. We will play bulldogs next week.

Dribble dribble dribble....

Last year we turned up too arogant against the Panthers, and even though we were really unlucky, we deserved to lose. The key in this game is just turning up and playing somewhere near out best. If we are close to our best, no one in this comp really go close, besides maybe the Broncs, but even then they are relying on us dropping the ball over the line to keep the game close. No seriously, if we're gonna go all the way, forget the result tonight, we need to play well. I'm confident we will, this Roosters team is hungry, I think we lacked that raw desire this time last year, its back this time.

Just did some sniffing around and see that munster is off contract at the end on 2015. would he be our number 1

Storm back out to $3.15 with centerbet. Even with Cummins nobody wants them!

Hmmm I'm not sure this is correct.

Besideswe have Latrell. Give him anotheryear and he'll be ready to tear the league up.

thats what im saying. use munster like we did mini (trained rts)to help ready latrell for a permanent role as full back

Munster is still learning the fullback position himself (from Slater) as he has previously played more in the halves or centres . He is in no way ready to teach anyone else how to play it.

Anyway, I'm sure Mini is already spending heaps of time with Latrell to show him the finer points of being a great fullback, just like he did RTS. Unlike Munster, Latrell already has played plenty of FB, he just needs a little polish, which Mini can teach him.

Why would you spend good salary cap money on someone when someone who is not under the cap can do just as good a job? Munster would now not come cheap, and we have more than enough good outside backs, one of which will be slotting in at FB next year. Who that is will be decided during the offseason by the coaching staff, assisted by Mini.

Watching under 20s now, probably only watch 4 or 5 all season, but he must save his nothing games for when i watch.

His big brother shaq looks like a bigger handful in this one.

Ha ha ha. If Ben behaves himself tonight I'll happily accept your ridicule. But I have a nasty feeling some of you have short memories....

I hate being right.

Yeah bud, that's you. A big fat dribbler.

In a far away place so haven't seen the game. Reading a lot of reports that the Storm "out-wrestled" us. Stopped our forwards from getting up steam. We have a habit of doing that when Ben Cummins referees us. That's 3 losses from 4 games this year with him and in each we were "out-wrestled". Quite remarkable really. The site of his ferret-like face must weaken the Roosters somehow.

Melbourne in the 2nd half were outstanding I dont think they dropped the ball once, actually once and we were penalised for a strip or hand in ruck. In fact Melbourne last night lost the ball 4 times in the ruck/when trying to play the ball and every single time it was a penalty against us It was like we had gone back to 2013

I am amazed that when we get Cummins invariably it is a loss (apparently we have won 1 out of our last 7 with him ) with the amount of people coming on here saying it is not the referee but we played terrible Have these people not stopped to wonder why we always seem to play terrible when he referees us Perhaps their minds are incaple of realising the pattern that has developed when Cummins referees our games
