Rooster V Titans game thread

[horrie hastings]

The forwards were terrible apart from JWH and Cordner.The pairing of Ferguson and Burgess is totally diabolical, neither player can read what's happening in front of them.
Only Latrell Mitchell, Daniel Tupou, JWH, Cordner and to a lesser extent Mitchell Aubusson can hold their heads high after that game, it was painful to watch.

[John Corey]

Forget the bunker and the crap shepherd decision. We were disgraceful. I just left the game and you could sense that they were in the game up to the necks. That second half we let them roll down the field with soft arm grabs. Here are my thoughts.

Pearce and Hastings play exactly the same game. One of them needs to go. Matterson to 5/8
Guerra and his hit and spin makes me sick.
Jake Friend offers nothing from dummy half. He is too slow and provides no spark. I love his work ethic but I think he is going ordinary.
BURGESS WILL NEVER WEAR OUR JERSEY AGAIN.

I'm thinking our coaches must know our 6 and 7 play the same game and surely will do something about it. Surely.

The train home sux. It's embarrassing to lose to these imbeciles.

[elo]

As if the 1.5 gamer would have made any difference. He ain't the messiah.

You've missed the point.

The only time Trent decided to put him on is when the game is over, what is he trying to tell the kid?

The ****ers that caused the loss should have been forced to stay out there, it was a deadset bullshit interchange for a guy that's going to learn nothing in the final 10 of a game that is over.

Whatever Trent did the last 2 weeks with the squad clearly went well tonight, absolutely hopeless with a far superior squad, an unacceptable loss.

[ism22]

We were hopeless tonight but that no try was a shocking decision, the game is over reffed. The Nrl have ****ked the game, there goes the season.

Yeah and in comparrison they didn't check ANY Titans tries.

1. The Titans lost the ball and they we were already up to our 2nd tackle. Pulled it back and ref said no try. We see a possibility that the ball touched the try libe at some point and it's called try.
2. Titans score in the corner with no officials within cooee! PEEEEEEEP try!!
3. Possible obstruction. PEEEEP try!!

10 to go by that time, game's over for all intents and purposes.

Both teams, the refs and the bunker were all an absolute disgrace to the game. We are now watching the Super League in the way Murdoch planned it from the start:
- All on Fox
- Free to air channels are just puppets and the CEO gets sacked if an FTA channel beats Fox in the bidding war because Murdoch picks the CEO
- QLD focus 100% with NSW teams being forced to bend over every week
- Over-sponsored with corporate dollars on everything and advertising taking over the game to the point where EVERY comment has to be some sterile, politically correct BS that supports the League and Murdoch 100%
- Too much BS technology taking over the natural flow of the game, with every new bit of technology wearing a new bit of sponsorship
- Too many BS new rules (new ones each season with a new focus on what will actually be enforced.) Just keep it simple!! All the new rules do is wreck teams that they decide to selectively enforce the rules against
- Way too many BORING and poorly managed games like tonight that I'm embarrassed to call rugby league
- We see a billion dollars pumped into the game but all that money goes missing... salaries go up a little, but not much when you factor in inflation.
- Around election time we're fed anti-Labor BS by Ray Hadley and his mates 24/7 when we just wanna watch the effing footy as our refuge from politics!!

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Wrong one

Id rather sign a scared weird little burgess than overhyped thugs..

[Johnny.]

After seeing that performance, he can't disassociate himself from us fast enough. Why would Hayne want to play under the worst coach in the NRL?

The Laurence Olivier reason.

For the money, dear boy. For the money.

[Fairfax]

389 to 277 tackles... no wonder they ran over the top of us late... 65 to 35% in the first half killed us. Toups and Burgess errors put us under pressure early. We were never in this game.

Yes.

[Arties Pie]

Ism22 I agree with all you said but we did stink tonight and deserved to lose after that very poor effort.

[dice]

389 to 277 tackles... no wonder they ran over the top of us late... 65 to 35% in the first half killed us. Toups and Burgess errors put us under pressure early. We were never in this game.

My feelings exactly. Also add two underdone forwards and warm temps. The only desperate change we need to make is Burgess.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if we belt the dogs on Sunday.

[roosterproud]

why was the roosters no try not a try. if the roosters were tackled prior to the dis allowed try it would have been play on.Because they cant go back and have a look at it. thats because the ref, pocket ref and touchie all missed ithe apparent obstruction But the tittans player was flapping his arms around like a new born ibis in front of the ref and badgers a wainker then had to go and have a look. the flunker is a joke and should not ref the game . it was the turning point of the game. regardless of if it was or if it was not obstruction. pay the $10k trent

[ism22]

Ism22 I agree with all you said but we did stink tonight and deserved to lose after that very poor effort.

Oh for sure, sorry to gloss over it with other points. Regardless of any surrounding factors, we shoulda been able to get the job done. We had an infinitely better roster but did nothing with it.

I feel like I need to hold on to this quote for a few years

[rooster_booster]

Rugby League is at its lowest ever point imo. People are starting to walk away from the game and I cant blame them

[manbearpig]

Exactly. People seem to gloss over the fact that we have a team full of internationals and rep players plus some of the brightest young stars in the game yet we still show absolutely nothing. That team tonight apart from SKD was just about the best we could field so something is waaaaaaay off as we should not be that far behind any Titans team. Especially that one after their last start suggested.

Sad thing is, how bad really are the Knaughts going if we do them by nearly 40 and then get done by 20+ by a team coming off a nearly 40 hiding. Just ridiculous really!
