Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[Chook Norris]

This season is long gone so I've stopped caring as much about it. However, the impact of these losses on the culture of the club is concerning. Some really worrying signs. We collapse really quickly and there's very light fight in us. Can't be good for the team's DNA.

Also agree with the comment about Gus v Boyd. Gus has a long way to go before he can match his intensity, leadership and courage. Teddy also needs to stop being a super hero and unleash his backs

[ChookMaster]

WTF is up with SST? My god has he dropped off. Very concerning. Manu at centre is a dogs*** player these days it seems doesn’t want to make his tackles.

We've just been beaten convincingly by the two premiership favorites back to back and everyone here is in panic mode. Admittedly these 2 performances have been pretty disheartening and not up to Roosters standards but I'd panic if they put this performance consistently against sides not in the Top 8. The obvious injuries have impacted the side and everyone is pulling out the knifes for certain players to throw the blame on. Everyone needs to calm down cause there's still plenty of games left and who knows what these games might bring. Those writing off the season is being too reactionary to the results and would go against the work done to overcome these early adversities. Wait until we play out the rest of the season before making judgement.

Shoulder charge? Arm at the hip.
Play on for Melbourne

Of course.

Adam Gee has been horrendous in this game but I can’t even justify whinging about him because we’ve been so much worse.

Whinge about both, they coexist

We wouldn't have won but he missed at least 2 melbourne sin-bins and constantly found shyte excuses take away any momentum we got during the game. A real d!ck effort from him.

Oh and falling for another Munster fake injury/interchange. Anal-guy needs to grow a spine when Bellamy calls him ip with 'smart ideas'. Tell him they're shyte. Dare ya!

I’d rest Walker for the rest of the season to give him the opportunity to have his shoulders operated on, bring him back fresh next year.

Leadership is an interesting talking point moving forward, almost feels overnight since Boyd announced his retirement that we’ve all of sudden just lacked a whole lot less resilience in our playing style.

Coincidence that it just coincided with us play the top 2 teams in the comp?

[roosterchook]

I was hoping we’d at least be competitive and make them earn their points. We will likely need another few years to rebuild this team into a winning squad. Tonight’s performance and others against top teams are wooden spoon caliber. We are not even a top 8 team this year.

[Blue Suede Schubert]

To look on the bright side, we only lost the 2nd half 16 to blot.

[King Salvo]

There are many out there who have played shit tonight but IMO Lam is the worst, but it’s not like I’m shocked!

Team game so not on 1 player - all 17

[roostersrule2]

That was shithouse.

Hopefully we can get some confidence back against the dogs next week

[DP1990]

Point is Lam was crap, same as most of the team but he was noway the worst ., Dipshit

Take a vote or create a poll and ask all the other members/fans on this site and I bet ya ... you'll be wrong !


We could've played with 12 on the field tonight without Lam and there would've been no real difference really, dickhead

[bondi paul]

The only upside for me was a prediction come true via the Poolooka hit on Munster.

[kakaruk]

Morris has had his day ,he offered nothing tonight. Lam is not first grade standard, Sammy v is very hesitant in his game but that's understandable, Sui not having a dig hardly ever bending the line tonight .Don't know what teflon trent can do really he doesn't have the cattle maybe drop morris and bring in billy smith move,manu to 5/8 sualli back to center and ikavalu to the wing rads will stiffen up the middle but the reality is we are done this season that performance was embarrassing tonight no pride in the jumper at all imo
