Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[Johnny Brass]

This is a tough watch , some of the errors have been really poor and the Storm won't take the foot off our throat. Some poor kicking early on took all the pressure off them and they punished us, it's hard to name a good player for us it's the worst I've seen us play for many a year.
Unfortunately the reality is we aren't a top 4 side at present yet the comp is so weak we will make the playoffs.

[Yeception 7]

We've got enough talent to put a better performance than what we did. Tedesco trying too hard and everyone else not trying hard enough. Everyone seems ready for 2022, and frankly so am I

[Grant Hedger]

Can’t see us scoring. Storm have plenty more.

[ROC181]

This is what happened again Penrith. We start well and then one mistake leads to a total collapse. There aren’t any signs we can snap out of it but let’s hope something happens.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Walker has been terrible. Too cocky, too small, maybe half injured. Get Keighran on.

[Chook Norris]

Fkn done with Lam, piss off to the broncos or something mate. Sitili hasn't improved his defence in 3 years lets be honest. Not an overreaction, just being real.

Sitilis defence is horrendous. Same with his lack of urgency. It makes me so mad

[Rooster1908]

Any of the members on this site who love Lam and kept talking shit about "Oh you're not real fans if you pick on players and attack them blah blah ... stop being unfair"


OPEN YOUR FU*KING EYES !

Trouble is you pick on one player and neglect the others that are playing crap, have a look at tonight's game a tell me who is worth what they are being paid.Thats my only issue with you bloke /ladies , we have forwards missing tackles , wingers coming up out of the line , centres dropping ball and half's thowing intercept passes , wingers dropping ball before the line but it's all Lam's fault ,. Open your Fu&king eyes

[MCMLXVI]

It’s Hutch not Cronk and it’s not a GF so a fairly irrelevant comparison.

I make no comparison, what are you talking about? I was steadfastly told that our medical team would never field an injured player. I simply gave an example of this to be a complete falsity. Not hard to understand that is it? Medical teams will field injured players. I still stand by my initial sentiment, hoping that Hutch is fully recovered.

Anyway, not looking good at the moment of halftime. In my opinion Sualli and Walker are playing their first real test. They will learn from this. We can still win this.

[Chook Norris]

The sad thing is I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel next year. Who do we actually have coming back which will change everything. Can Keary lift the side that much?

[bondi paul]

Playing as though we have no coach

[Headless Chook]

I don't get the surprise when we get touched up by great teams, I mean we have 8 blokes out. Take 8 blokes out of Melbourne and they'd get flogged as well. We are making up the numbers atm. Put BMoz, Radley, Friend, Cordner, Keary, Collins and even Hutchison back into the Roosters team and we could beat any team. I'm not surprised that we are struggling.

Gotta love Brandy....he goes 'The Roosters are missing some players but so to are the Storm'. He then names two players that they're missing.....poor guys, don't know how they have managed to keep going

[Rocky Rhodes]

Season is over imo. Too many major injuries, three big forced retirements, have broken the side it seems.

U are 13 rounds too slow....season was over when luke Keary went down. And absolutely confirmed when the broncs flogged us. Dark few yrs ahead....it's flaming obvious..

[TeddyGoat]

Walker has been terrible. Too cocky, too small, maybe half injured. Get Keighran on.

Keighran isn't even in the 17 mate

[stringaz]

I think the tweaks and changes to the game have caught us out. As a highly penalised team it's just amplified how it hasn't suited us. The game is touch footy like, with the blend of speed and attack catching out our aging roster. We don't have halves, so Keary's return will help, but the speed and continuity killing us every week against better sides.

Funny why aren't the strom highly penalized? That 6 again rule was supposedly brought in to combat the boring slow wrestle championed by who?

Hypocrisy.

[Thirteen]

I just want to thank the Vaucluse limo driver. If not for him I’d be witnessing this in person.
