SQUAD v EELS - Momo dropped, Verills back

[milanja]

Not quite. Toops was suspended against the Dogs & Naiqama played. Also, some might argue that as Jazz & Rads were crook all week & played off the bench (and Momo played) against the Dragons, we weren’t at full strength then either.

So we miss Toops against the worst team in the comp, and a couple of our guys having the sniffles against the dragons, doesn’t really cut it in the big leagues.

is there a team in the comp that have had their top 1-17 available for more than two games in a row? Great management if they have.

Penrith

Maybe he is just crap..

Maybe... hes unfortunately still better than Kevin the Koala, Billy Smith, Paul Momo and arguably Watson and Hutchison

You just poked the 'Keighran Bear'!

Losses to Dragons, Dogs, Knights, Raiders = No finals in 2022. You can blame Robinson for that.

Ray Stehr, a Roosters legend would be ashamed his name is being used by someone who makes declarations like this.

Penrith

possibly, but I doubt it for more that 2 games, and that would have only been very recently because they missed one of, if not more at times cleary, to’o, Edwards, leota til only a few rounds ago, if they survive origin healthy, it’s scary how good they’ll be for the rest of the year.

if we are good enough to scrape into the 8, we should have our whole side available for finals too.

i'm going to worry about finals if and probably when they happen but if we win first week of the finals then losses that happened months ago won't mean a thing

Well it's true, Robinson has fhucked our season. I'm sure Ray Stehr would've been a straight talker.

[Mickie Lane]

I highly doubt 14 other teams have lost the same calibre of players as we have at the same time..

11 teams have the same or more injuries then the Roosters

Yes but not the same calibre of players, barring Melbourne and possibly the Raiders which was my point..

I can never accept "good enough to scrape into the top 8" & Roosters in the same sentence. It's unfathomable to think with the team we have that is even remotely possible. If it does happen then...............

Not yet...forget about what's behind us. It has to start tonight. Who knows we could go on a big run from now on. There's too much class in this team to write them off just yet...but if we bumble & fumble our way to more losses & miss the 8 then yeah it's on Robbo.

Now your clutching at straws.
Melbourne are worse off but continue to win
Raiders have 4 massive outs like you acknowledge
Broncos No Reynolds, Gamble & Farnworth are massive outs.
Dogs No Hetherington & Thompson plus another 3 are massive outs.
Cowboys No Gilbert, Luki, Cotter & Feldt are massive outs.
Knights No Best, Brailey & Saifiti are massive outs.
Souths No Latrell, Murry & Host are massive outs. Murray only just came back
Manly No Turbo, Lawton & Parker are massive outs
Titans No Fafita, Campbell & Thompson are massive outs.
Tigers No Douehi, Utoikamanu, Talau & Blore are massive outs.
Sharks No Hamlin-Uele, Williams, Finucane are massive outs.

[Eggspert]

There is no way we can use injuries as an excuse to our current situation. We have been crap against some even crappier teams who have their own injuries.

You get more than the sniffles with the flu, it wasn’t a head cold. But we were out played and out enthused in that game.
