Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Dolphins

[Rooster_6]

With that completion rate and errors the scoreline flattered us. Absolutely not pride in the jersey. Some of the players out there don't belong in first grade

I hate all the no pride crap (not talking LGBTQ) it's such a cop out for lazy analysis of the game.

You telling me Teddy doesn't have any pride in the jersey because he had a shocker today... come on.

[Johnny73]

Someone had to be the sacrificial lamb to justify the NRL's idiocy. That was the equivalent of getting your retarded cousin his first whore.

[roosterchook]

****ing hell.

trent never learns does he

He never irons out the errors. No he will never learn ever.

[RoosterRooster]

Not this year boys.
We have a few overrated gumps in our line up.
Sam Walker?
Nup.

[HunchoRooster]

Never have I been ashamed to be a Roosters fan since Robbo took over.... That performance changed it. Absolutely pathetic performance by every metric. Out enthused, no heart, no creativity, no respect for the ball or the opposition.

We are a universe away from the top teams in terms of mentality. No positives to take out of that. Congrats to the dolphins.

[Boondi]

Well that was disappointing. From here, only way is up right? …..right?!

[Tommy Smith]

Absolutely embarrassing. Humiliating.

The players ane coaches disgraced the jersey today and need to be held accountable.

We are miles away from being a Premiership contender.

[ism22]

One on one strip and we re penalized.

We played like shyte and didn't deserve to win but if you call the 1st try an 8-point try (since when is it not a penalty if they score anyway?), send a guy off, call our challenge correctly, call the Dolphins' first try forward (correctly), rule that last knock-on correctly...etc I reckon the Dolphins had a chance of falling on their @rses.

Crowd of 35,000 and their first win. Sigh... in hindsight this was always gonna happen.

[Rooster_6]

This loss is entirely on Robbo. If other lowly rated teams can hold onto the ball and play the ball properly then it’s only very, very poor coaching which is causing us to who are supposed to be professional footballers to have dropathons and not know how to play the ball. Roosters cannot win the comp or make the top 4 or top 8.

You think Robbo made Teddy throw hospital passes, kick the ball out on the full and drop a ball in the play the ball.

This is on everyone, no one had a good game today, Robbo is just the easy target.

[Les Tricolores]

It's more the depth.

Thats the price to pay for haivng a really strong starting 13.

You hear certain people jizzing about our younger blokes liek Whyte, Taphu and Baker in the lower grades, and whining about them not getting a go.

The fact is, most of them are not good enough and I can't see a great deal of them becoming a big success elsewhere either.

May is our standout junior forward, and he isn't spectacular.

REgardless, all is not lost we have:

Sitili,
Crichton
JWH
Manu
Watson

to return.

That will make a big difference.

Oh I completely agree… at full strength we will win the comp

But we also have a few guys who have gotten swept up in our success and are considered much better than they actually are

We were 1.10 today… severely overrated

Yeah I dunno how to say it but 2 behind with 25 to go it is GAME ON!!!! How did we have the cue in the rack?

I didn't mention Teddy in my post.

When a team comes up with thaf kind of ball control in round 1 that to me shows a lack of effort which isn't showing pride

[Vasco]

That was pathetic.

Would love to know what Robbo's record against Bennett is. Wouldn't be very good.

[Rocky Rhodes]

lol @ Easts,

Last time i felt this embarrassed as a fan was been done by the Raiders 66-4.

[roosterchook]

You’ve got to start looking at the coach when we play such complete shambles like today. Top players failing to play the ball correctly and throwing wild passes. We need a specialist ball handling coach and play the ball coach and to sack whoever trains us now. We need a captain who restores composure but Teddy loses his own composure so we have no real leadership on the field. Absolutely disgusting display. Looked like they’ve never played RL before.
