Sydney Roosters insist they can three-peat despite shortened NRL season

[Thirteen]

Not having the interruption of Origin during the season should help us somewhat. Injury is the great unknown, of course, but hopefully we will have some luck on our side this year. Robbo is going to have to treat this as a race or a sprint rather than a marathon, as per usual.

We just need to be top 8. We can pace ourselves like the last 2 years. We are too good not to finish top 4.

I have no problem with Kyle or his dad. They are involved at the top end of Rugby League compared to us who are sitting on a computer judging them.

you're the chookpen's reality checker, Mickie.

seemed a good idea at the time, and I look to bryce Cartwright for advice on medical matters,

A few here are unfairly critical of our new 7

Might I remind you that Keary our most experienced half was less than ordinary including our back row in the opening rounds

Keary botched a try and was careless almost cocky & is not a positive moving forward to the remainder

Might I also remind you it took almost half the season for Cronk to adapt

If Flanno has been sleeping with a kicking tee since lockdown then I will be relieved.....the rest of his game shows promise

When Fossil Bennett had a handshake deal with us around 2006 it was Shane Flanagan who opened his big mouth and made this confidential news public. This ruined the Bennett deal and Bennett walked away.

Where Flano sticks his private parts is none of our business.

He’s not the Messiah!

[Old Man Rooster]

We have had a few 18 to 20 year old debutants in the past decade. If Walker is as good as suggested he may be the one. Flanagan has kicked poorly and been ineffective with us thus far. I think he has a 4 to 6 week window to prove he is worth sticking with.

The NRL is going to make sure it is as difficult as possible for the Roosters to get the 3-peat, looks like we will play the Storm/Raiders/Vermin/Broncos/Dragons twice in the reworked schedule.

It will certainly be a test. If we can pull it off, it would be all the more amazing.

I think it is going to be a monumental challenge, though. The ultimate test of Robbo's ability.
