I Stand By My Club.

[kruT]

Some of you call yourself supporters but you’re worse than opposition supporters. Yes we lost a game we should have won and yes it’s happened several times this season but you need to stick by your club.

I attended for around 9 years and went to just about every single game before I ever saw us make the semis. Some of you will drop off like flies with every loss we have.

Yes sure you are entitled to critique performances and players but some of your comments on here are just ridiculous and some of you have shocking memories. If you can’t get behind the club than jump off the bandwagon.

I can’t wait for the next game. The bad times make the good times even more enjoyable. Our boss won’t put up with mediocrity. We play for premierships every year. We will get back on track soon.

I’ll be wearing a Roosters cap or shirt when I go out today. I’m always proud of my club and love to show my support.

I stand by my club.

GO ROOSTERS!

You stand by or behind the boys...

this is 100% correct, the forum is a perfect place to vent, nobody is handing in their membership, and not everybody needs to enjoy a loss as much as Robbo does after a presser, just because we don’t laugh off a loss, doesn’t mean anyone is giving up.

Stop being grounded, mature and rational..that doesn't go down well in these parts...

Spot on, you can’t have sweet without the sour. Praise and criticism are both encouraged without question of loyalty.

If our motto is “ We play for premierships” then we are failing… huge

I don’t think anybody on here ( well at least the real posters ) is going to lose their passion for the club over last night. A lot of it stems down to frustration which we are rightfully allowed to feel but I’m sure when it really comes down to it, no one on here is going to abandon the club over the loss. I HOPE

Putting some pressure on Robbo and the boys after a dreadful run is what supporters do, this is a knee jerk reaction to a knee jerk reaction IMO

Well said.

It seems one or two on here hate it when you express your opinions or frustrations after bad losses against average teams. This doesn't make us less of a supporter, but merely shows we are playing like crap atm.

Sorry captain, if the old tub is sinking she is a sinkin'.

The old tub is not sinking, she has $500m in the 'bank' ("teach a man to fish")...and is not going anywhere.

Just a matter of fully adjusting to rugba leeg. (Dogs' defence was very good, now basically being coached by Gould).

Oh, and the Eels also had a bad night at the office, got run over by the ...too BIG, too STRONG, too FAST Cowboys in Darwin.


Bet Eels HQ is sorry it decided to play an FNQ team in the Darwin sauna.
Roosters did it once, played Wests, got thrashed from memory, little lady and I nearly melted in the tropical sauna heat. We went to Townsville a few times for the footy, hot, humid, but Darwin is worse.

Yeah, fair play Thirteen and probably needs to be said.

You are right that experiencing the lows makes the good times that much sweeter too.

I was interested in the way Robbo played the presser last night. Don't think he does much on impulse, it's usually a considered reaction.

Very calm, matter of fact, laughing a bit. He did at least take responsibility and said he needs to fix it.

Someone mentioned they asked him about how he handles the pressers and he said he pretends he's talking to us...the fans. Didn't exactly feel that way this time. Maybe a journalist could have asked..."What would you say to disappointed Roosters fans now after consecutive losses to lower placed teams?".

[Ivan Benko]

We are and remain Roosters forever,but it would be nice to see some improvement from the previous games.We are playing the same football and wondering why we are being beaten.
If tactics don't work then change them,if players are out of form than drop them,our forwards are the worst in the comp,the backs have to run sideways because they are not given room by the forwards.Second phase is almost non existent,close to their try line we are clueless.We have to work on some tactics to improve.It doesn't matter if Teddy runs 300 mts a game if we dont get momentum from it.Hopefully things will improve.but I am not holding my breath till they do.

[Vasco]

We all stand by our club.

ANd most of us think we stink at the moment.

[player 1]

Fair enough Thirteen.

It was just so frustrating listening to the commentators jizzing themselves at our misfortune, and the cameras being on Barrett in his nice suit looking like a winner at our expense. Not to mention Gould's smugness at having schooled Robbo.

All this at the hands of by far the worst team in the comp who mightn't win another game this year.

But even when we were champs, we always were able to pull out performances from the bottom draw like last night. To do it 2 weeks in a row sent me off the deep end.

In reality it shows what low confidence and morale can do to a team's and individual's performance. Not just in sport but in life.

And all this with no real injuries to speak of this year!

Also no complaints about the match officials.

That was me that asked Robbo about how he handles the press conference.

In reality I think some fans just want to see him tearing shreds off the players. I think as our boss that would not be helpful to do this publicly. I think some fans want to see him cry or swear or carry on like Bellamy does in the coaches box.

I like this and I completely agree.

So you and a few others obviously want robbo out. Who do you reckon we go with instead? Maybe wait until tigers
sack Maguire? What About Flanagan he can maybe help us get his son back?

[Keith]

I'm always very popular after a Roosters loss , people I havent heard from for weeks , suddenly find the time to send me a message and ask me what happned to the Roosters.
We just have to cop it on the chin , go Roosters.
But last night was pretty bad , not finding touch and the kick off out on on the full , not to mention the dropped balls and forward passes. It was hard to watch.
But good or bad we stick with out team.
But hvaing said that , they get paid a lot of moneyand have our support , but then dish up that crap , not good!

King why no updates from Bondi United Under 12s this morning??

Bondi United 18 drew with Coogee Dolphins 18.

Anyone who thinks Robinson enjoys losses doesn't understand what it takes to be at the top level.

He always presents level headed regardless of results, occasionally you see him waver in his emotional control but it's the exception.
