Matthew Johns: "Why Sydney Roosters won’t win 2018 NRL premiership"

[RoosterFanNZ]

Matt Johns loses all credibility when he suggests Newcastle can and will make the 8 because They have Signed Pearce, who is a match winner, clutch player and someone knows how to win close games, Pearce is a lot of things but FFS none of the above, I’ll take his and Sterlings opinions with a grain of salt

i agree with that, since hes seen with knights everyone is coming out of the woodwork to say he is the man to lead them to a premiership in the future

Pretty sure it does not measure the chance of a particular outcome occurring. Bookies change margins based on money held to minimise a chance of losing their takings, or to maximise theirnown margins.

That is true. There are also professional punters including mathematicians who make a living out of betting on odds which incorrectly represent probable outcomes. Odds do not deviate from probability by as much as what you are suggesting.

Most character assassinated him all his career when at the roosters then upon him leaving the hating public quickly forget their disdain for MP and then turned their hate onto the club. Fickle indeed.

This d!ckhead is always looking for a reason to criticise us.

I know a mate who works for a big bookie and apparently the footy odds aren’t very scientific (or based on any metric). He said that they just have a quick chat about who they reckon will win then put a number up on the board.

Stop dreamin and get with the program dude. Anybody with an idea knows we overachieved last year...so last year is really irrelevant.

Our pack is less experienced this year as opposed to last year. We lost Guerra who has played over 150 first grade games and Evans who has played about 70 games. We have replaced these with no one in the forwards.

Guerra, Evans, Watson and Gordon are big loses for various reason. Sure Cronk and Tedesco are big improvements but those dudes are not forwards.

LMFAO! Cool story..

[Mad_Rooster_in_GraceLand]

Right, and he has seen our spine play late in the 2018 season?

IMO it is all speculation. We have 26 rounds to gel before the finals. Also, other teams (e.g. Broncos without Milford, Storm without Cronk...etc) will also have to find their mojo.

Where the hell did the MILF go?

I thought he was still with the Ponies maan!!

[Danish]

Eh, the combinations our new squad had in 2013 only got worse in 2014 and 2015, so I wouldn't read too much into that.


The real reason we will struggle to win the comp is the same reason since 2014. Our attitude, composure, and game plan does not stand up to the pressure of finals footy. Hopefully Cronk is able to steady the ship

think he means with ben hunt gone, milf is still there and looked over weight during pre season

Ahh yes and thanks man.

I think Milf was overweight in the previous pre season as well.

[Tommy Smith]

Didn't he tip us to finish about 13th in 2013?

If we don't win the comp it'll have nothing to do with combinations. As if Teddy Cronk and co won't click after 6 months. That's stupid.

So if we don't win it'll be because like all teams we'll need a tremendous amount of luck with injuries - in fact perhaps more than the Storm and Cowboys given a few vital cogs like Teddy Cordner Jwh and SST have extensive injury histories.

It'd also be because we don't have a recognised top quality goal kicker. And because our forward and outside backs depth is poor. And then there's the significant defensive issues on Fergo and Manu's edge.

Those are our faults. It doesn't mean we won't win the comp but we all know and generally agree about our vulnerabilities - and combos won't be one.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Ahh yes and thanks man.

I think Milf was overweight in the previous pre season as well.

yeah i think he started off overweight last season but then cut down to like 89 kgs, which is quite big for a half there was a picture floating round of him with no top on looking pudgey.

love how our team is completely ripped

[roosterchook]

Way too many defensive problems to win in 2018 perhaps 2019 with a stronger forward pack. Some of our forwards aren’t living up to their potential and let us down big time when it counts.

Matty Johns hung of Joeys coat tails.. The truth is he was part of the Johns package to Knights.. Would not have made it on his own steam.. Been plenty before him.. and will be plenty after him.. the only diff for those before Matty is.. They didn't suck Cock to get into a gig on the footy show/media.. Matty Johns has sucked many cocks to get were he is.. yes he has a few$$ but he also has a sore arse and cold sores... What a ****wit!!!!!!!!!!
