Uncle Nick has to sign Robbo for life as I wont hear of anything else and no more bad mouthing chooks players that Robbo selects too- as after all he is our future super coach and he knows best.



Except for the times he doesn't, I don't know whether you are being tounge in cheek or not.

Good win last night. The good was: Tedesco again getting involved with enthusiasm and scoring. Cronks and Keary, all the stuff they do. Radleys in your face powerplay. Forwards tried hard and kept it up. Obviously fergo is still fighting hard. And good to see Matto score 2 and finally Reece score which might give him confidence for the next few games. My only criticism was the uncertainty of Mitchells kicking. He'll get one from the side but miss one in front plus the kick-offs I'm waiting for him to kick it out. Too much on his young plate IMO.

Easts 26 . Fish 12

Close Eddie.

I don't think Robinson will play.

I'm tipping Aubusson to switch between centre/wing with Latrell in attack and D, and Kurt Baptiste to grab a bench spot.

Or at least that's what I want to happen.

Reece Robinson simply can't be in the team. He might be the worst winger in 110 years of rugby league history.

Not even in the history of The Roosters.

Don’t judge a player on a single bad performance.

Robbo should put this on the walls in team shed.. although he doesn’t seem to be big on motivation before matches

I doubt Robbo or the players give a shit what some lone Cronulla fan thinks.

[Thirteen]

I predict 40-12 to the Sharks.

Keep smoking your crack Bansai and keep death riding your team. You must be bitterly disappointed with the win.

Close Eddie.

I put little thought into that, bit of a fluke.
Only made that post coz King Salvo advised me to stop tipping.
I'm a stubborn bastard.
And I never tip against the team.

I didn't mind Whereat, at least for a season and a half.

To all those wondering were I was- Queen Salvo banned me from commenting during the game - not happy with my comments about Coach Robbo who she likes as our coach.

does the queen want a moderator role on here?

Whilst on wingers who did little for the Roosters, don't forget Dale Shearer who did nothing for his reputation (nor Adrian Lam's bank balance) while a Rooster for a sole season. He was at that stage a Queensland Crusher recruit.

Stuart Davis didn't exactly set our world on fire either. Neither did Sandy Campbell and there's more.

Has everyone forgotten about the great Sonny Tuigamala?

Shearer had a contract that was only good money if he played a certain amount of first grade. He ended up being cheap.
One game when we were down a lot of troops, he filled in at 5/8. He had a solid game and helped us defeat the Maggies. I can't put Shearer in the Vautin or Battese catagory.

Good solid win last night. It looked a case of keep it simple stupid in attack,which worked well for us. Defence was sound for most of the part and we can hopefully build off this solid performance. Am I the onky one enjoying the referee penalty blitz in that we are now getting penalties in the match I havent seen awarded to us in over 10 years

We have a winner........

How good is it to beat the sharks in there own triangle

It doesn’t get much better. I hate them almost as much as Souffs.
