Season is over before it began.

The writing was on the wall when Manly led 26-0 at half time in the trial. Robinson learnt nothing from last year. Embarrassing.

Waving the white flag already?

It's not over but it's not looking promising, look poorly prepared again.......it's hard to play catchup.

[Ray Stehr]

No other contender would lose this. Our defence is atrocious. As I said embarrassing. This loss is way worse than the loss to Newcastle last year.

[Mayes Magic]

I wouldn’t go that far. But must surely be one of the most embarrassing efforts in club history. Rivals the Vautin Canberra debacle?

Stop watching Way

like Craig Bellamy said round 1 doesnt ultimately mean much but it does reflect your pre season.

we obviously dont have good pre seasons

[Ray Stehr]

Robinson needs to shed the guru coach BS. If this is Roosters football then the club is in big trouble.

[BTRD]

Robinson has over seen some embarrassing performances that's for sure.

[RoosterFanNZ]

im so glad we honoured the great Arthur beetson in such a momentous way and gave his beloved dolphins their first win.

he would want it no other way.

Waving the white flag already?

There's more than him with the same sentiments.. That should've been a victory with Teddy, Keary and more than enough experience in the side.. And there may not be a win until our bye.

[ChookMaster]

Our forward pack is terrible. We have no depth and if one starter ( Lodge in this case ) goes missing no one else can stand up.

Cheese gas tank is shocking too. Walking back into the defensive lines at times like come on

Robinson has over seen some embarrassing performances that's for sure.

11yrs at the top it's inevitable.

[Andrew Walker]

Too weak through the middle in defence Unless we drastically improve in that area we will regularly see sides score thirty against us

[FREEMAN89]

We always seem to be letting the top squad spend the off season holidaying. They never seem to come back and gel like they've trained with the rest of the squad. So incohesive to begin the season - every season.
