Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[The Skeez]

I think we’ll turn the screws. Due a change in luck too

Does anyone know where the screwdriver is?

[nayfo]

Also hate to say it but Walker looks out of his depth at the moment, good experience for the young lad but he's definitely off the mark with making the right decisions.

[Lydon]

Just goes to show, we need to hit the market. We won’t see the best of Baker, E.Butcher, Fafita for a few years. We need to bring in some new players.

I agree with this and assume it may be the plan with certain retirements and letting some players ( Liu ) move on..

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Remember when we would all get frustrated because the team would dominate for the first 60 minutes and then get scrapy for the last 20? I miss those days.

Now they compete for the first 20 and are scrapy for the last hour.

What a cheat Christian Welch is,they are up 30-0 yet he decides to lay down..Scum bag

Someone should have walked up to him and kicked him, you can't get suspended after all right?

[Vasco]

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.

Agreed.

[RoosterBoi]

Defense looks shot, everyone outta confidence. Clearly this season has taken practically everything outta the team and we're only half way.

[Fairfax]

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.

[TeddyGoat]

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.

[stringaz]

First of all, I'm disappointed in some of our play tonight, however we are buckling under the NRLs corruption.

It dosent help with alot of our squad out, retirements and season ending injuries that weren't foreseen.

The're are players out there that just wouldn't be and then some of our more experienced players are trying to hard and cracking under pressure.

That leg pull from siua sums it up, they are not in a good space and I'm hardly surprised.

100% correct Ray,no team in the same position would be any better off..

[QWERTY]

Discipline is costing us again, when will Trent clean this shit up?

Nah just injuries

[Johnny Tobin]

This is eleven losses in a row against top four sides. Bit if a worry.

[RoosterFanNZ]

team needs a revamp. too many people giving minimal effort.

also lam has some been regressing constantly (not the only one being shit, just a major one ive noticed)
