Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[King Salvo]

Get off Lam's dick you blind dickhead. And yeah we did play with 12 nd I did notice when Suluka-Fifita got binned (I watched the entire game you dumb shit) but that still doesn't take away from the fact that Lam is shit and so are you !


Acting like I've attacked your son or boyfriend you flop.

It wasn't one players fault - i reckon the plan is to save themselves for games they can win - why put all the effort into a game your very very unlikely to win and then take weeks to recover from it especially when you lose.

Focus on the Dogs now a game they can win

[stringaz]

Hell or high water I'm supporting this team. Players will return and the chooks will go to market where they can.

Even when the team looks like this:

Teddy

Topou

Smith

Manu

Sualii

Keary

Walker

JWH

Verills

Tauks

Angus

Sitilli

Radley

Butcher
Collins
Baker
Utility/dsf/market etc

they will still be punished for b2b, but maybe, just maybe will be able to absorb the hypocrisy.

The spirit we've played in recently up until cords retirement and even 22minutes after that when siua got sent against Penrith, was remarkable.

Losing our captain has taken a big toll on the players. They're only human. Proud athletes that definitely know what's going on.

Yet our coach won't want to have a victim mentality near that team as it will sink them for good.

Robbo has a balancing act to perform, I don't envy him or politis atm.

This may be a long road. We'll rise again.

That was so hard to watch tonight. We will be back, but it is going to take quite a turnaround. We will make sixth at best at this rate unfortunately. Hopefully we can redeem ourselves a bit next week against the Dogs.

I just want to try and take my mind off this!

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

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.

A good and sensible post Rooster Boi, nicely done.

[Rocky Rhodes]

nah mate your forgetting collins and keary come back next year walker and keary are a completely different scenario to lam or hutch atm we probably need a good winger, billy smith should be right to go at left center and we need to replace Lui to many injuries this year its as simple as that really .we will be right in the mix next year get in early for the good odds

Obviously the Reality check missed getting to your mail.

2 returning players ain't gonna fix everything...our roster is gonna be far worse going into 2022 than going into 2021. Gone are Boyd Cordner, Friend, B Moz, J Moz (hopefully), Issacc Lui and maybe even Topou who is yet to resign. U cannot lose 5 or 6 players highly experienced players and expect to win a comp. Our roster is no longer the best in the comp, not even close actually. Walker has great potential, but he is years away from even playing a full season. great touch footballer, nothing more at this stage.

And our depth is bog average.

[dice]

hahahahahaha......yeah Hutch is gonna dazzle the opposition with his complete averageness. Souffs, eels etc are shaking in this boots at the prospect

I was in no way suggesting that Hutch a superstar. In fact, I think he offers very little other than being a big body with a big boot. But compared to Lam then yes we will be a lot stronger.

[TeddyGoat]

Said it ages ago, but having Walker Sitli and Manu defending on the same edge is a recipe for disaster. None of them can tackle.

Really disappointed with Manu and Sitili in particular, their defence just seems to be getting worse and worse.

[roostersrule2]

Hutch would have been very useful when Lam was doing 30m kicks from our own 30

[Rocky Rhodes]

The fact that u are hoping for Hutch to return speaks volumes. Not knocking his efforts and commitment but his skill and talent levels are shown up by the better sides. His return is irrelevant to the bigger picture.

[Halcro]

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

The only thing to make me smile tonight....

You underestimating Radley's role at first receiver. We are not a lost cause. The only reason I want Hutch in the side is his big boot. Lam's 30m kicks to put the opposition immediately back on the attack doesn't quite do it for me.

This!!!
Was devastated by tonight’s performance, and not making excuses, we had the talent but not the execution . But I will continue to support with the same fervency as I have ever had .

[stringaz]

Anyone doubting our coaches nous go watch his presser.

Bunny just took one last tackle for the chooks at the end.

Ok it was robbo by proxy but I'm sure bunny wouldn't mind.

That idiot only shows up when we are going through moments like this and he's always doom & gloom, even when we've won in 2018... I wouldn't give too much notice cause he's just a fake.

I know he is a Panthers supporter.
