Season is over before it began.

If we play every week with 2.5 m of our salary cap missing then we will struggle to make the 8 let alone win the comp. What is our win % when Jarryd doesnt play v when he does, that comes down to leadership and inspiration. Teddy is a superb player but he doesnt off the sort of leadership that Cords used to give us. Cordner just wouldnt cop this shit, Teddy will be giving hugs.

maybe because our salary cap is top heavy with too many on big money and too many on sfa.

Whyte is a long way off being a first grader. When was the last time. Collins made you think “Gee I’m glad he’s a Rooster”. Egan is far more effective off the bench. Our forwards were their bitches. No Angus, Sitili, Watson and Jarred is huge.

I thought Collins was our only decent forward.

Teddy is a legend but not the best person to be leading the team.

He lacks the composure of a good leader.

Biggest take away from that game was a reminder how good Angus was. Our fringes were so flimsy. With our current squad, our forwards won't take us deep into the competition. Not sure where the vast improvement comes from.

[Waylander]

It’s one game FFS. Wait until we lose to the Vermin before you are ready to quit.

Our depth is crap. Without our best 17 we are bog average. Don’t hold your breath waiting for our best 17, either, because it’s a good 3 months away.

I am sure it was hot for both sides though so that cannot be used as an excuse.

The same old story - the inability to complete sets - 80% set completions in the first half and only 44 % in the second half - Equates to having to do more defence and then fatigue sets in and errors mount and discipline slips.

Also the Roosters always have problems against running dummy halves and also teams that go side line to side line and back through the middle.

Robbo was saying they lost the battle of the ruck - not sure what the markers are doing as that should be their job in defence in defending against any player running from dummy half - one defends right side and the other left side against players running from dummy half

I think players go to marker for a rest - they are still defenders not traffic cops waving cars through.

It was a great effort from the boys, just outplayed by a better side. Turpin out of d/h looks dangerous, cheese looks like he's ready for 80 mins, Paulo actually overshadowed Sualii looked dangerous with every touch. Great effort from Mr fix it Hutch, should be a mainstay. Victor the inflictor was a beast out there, but the young guns off the bench impressed me the most. Was hoping to see Allan and Jaxon combining on the right, but im sure that will come. Trust in Robbo, he has the team exactly where he wants them and is gonna time this season to perfection as he always does.

TIT = Trent In Turmoil

Another Rd 1 loss
Defence a shambles
Errors galore
Etched ourselves into Dolphins history in Rd1

The sky's the limit playing The Roosters way.

Today, did you watch the game?

Some of them did just that.

That really says a lot.

No I thought the women played today.

[Team Evil]

We are missing both our starting back rowers and JWH. We will struggle until they get back.
‘To many BS incompletion’s. FULL STOP.
we lost that game and never want to see that sh!t again.

[Mickie Lane]

The Chooks should have bought Kaufusi.
Fark he's a tough top player.

[Paddo Colt 61]

[QUOTE=Ray Stehr;n979305] Rubbish. South's, Penrith, Melbourne and plenty others would've put a big score on them.

What? You're a clairvoyant as well as a mouth?

[Grant Hedger]

I can’t seeing Politis accepting this rubbish. Robinson is now on borrowed time. His best for us is behind him. I can see a few players likely to be released early including halves, outside backs and most of the bench.
