I seriously don't give a fark what they do... but I feel they have no right to be part of a Roosters SUPPORTERS website.
    I feel some fans have an unrealistic expectation that we should go undefeated every season.
    Don't win and they vent on here with the refs robbed us, Robbo has lost the plot, players are useless and should be sacked.
    If we stay out of the 8 for the rest of the season those fans will drop away until next season when we are top 8 again.

    As much as I would love to win every game and be premiers every year it would get boring if that actually happened every year.

      It would be like being fed caviar and champagne every day (not that I would know as I don't partake of either)

      Sometimes we just have to be satisfied with cheese on toast now and again and let someone else go sit in the fancy restaurant. How can you appreciate the sheer joy of a grand final win unless you've been around to witness the team in lean years too? I had my small business sponsorship through the global financial crisis in 2008 and also the wooden spoon year (which was the year after) and then we had a grand final appearance in 2010. Life is a rollercoaster..Ronan Keating said so...

        Like the boy with a barrow going up a hill - they have it all in front of them - No use harping back to previous losses and who is missing from previous teams as they are not returning and is a pointless exercise and better left to an end of season review.

        9 games to go so that is now the sole focus - the old one game at a time - with the 2 points from the bye they are on 16 points in reality.

        Not sure if 24 or 26 points will be required to make the 8 or maybe less - but say if 26 points then they have to win 5 out of 9 games - gives them some wriggle room - so they will be in control of their own destiny at least.

          I for one have never bagged the Roosters . Players bludging on the Roosters is another matter

            We just arent up there with the best teams this season.

            When we were on fire, like in 2018/19, we had the ability to get the win, to just make it happen.

            This season we seem to be off the pace in the middle and we arent firing enough real shots.

              im disappointed with way 22 has panned out, i think were a bottom of the 8 side at best . i do think robbo maybe made a mistake with not being ready from round 1 , but sacking him is ludicrous talk.

              i think the main factors in no particular order were covid ravaging our squad pre season, a lack of a regular 9, the time it is taking keary and walker to gel, gus and watson not being at their best, and robbo possibly thinking that we could hop along as we had in previous years and still easily make the 8 ehich is not the case in 22 .

              things could be better , but could be worse, just received some bad news regarding my mothers health kind of keeps it in perspective i guess.

                I think COVID destroying our pre-season has gone unspoken. Its a huge disruption. Some of our players had no build-up.

                  The other clubs were in the same boat.

                      There’s a good stretch of games after the bye with the Dragons, Knights and Manly. Winning those as well as the Tigers and Souths games should be enough to make the 8. After the bye everyone should be back which should help. It’s not over yet.

                        I agree with you except for the last bit. I’ll never get bored winning the premiership every year, even every second year would be ok .

                            It's depressing to look at games now and be worried about playing the Steelers and Knights.

                            We finish with two tough matches. If we want to play in the finals we need to win at least one of those.
