  • The darkest day in our history

    There's no sugar-coating it. The Roosters were just diabolical and played with zero intensity. They probably thought at 6-0 it would be a cakewalk. Idiots!
    1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
    1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

    It was a dark day, but not the darkest day Carlos. That moniker I reserve for the monstrous loss against the vermin scum (I can't recall which one exactly as there's been a few).

      Overused cliche, anyone who thinks this was our darkest day must not have been around long.

        I hope the dressing room was one of those occasions where TiT pulls out a few naughty words to the players. I get a few missing and a couple of HIA but we got toasted by them today.

          Nothing darker than watching Paul Vautin n a Roosters Jersey.

            Name another one. ie: name one where a game was crucial to kickstarting the season and against a team of pensioner forwards playing against a team of seasoned rep players.

              Well, that is true.

                What's crucial about a Round 1 clash?

                Take our last NRL game against Souths, it was more embarrassing than this, we couldn't hold our nerve and got too emotional in a do or die final and you're talking about "crucial" Round 1 games....

                      We had a whole season of darkest days. I do believe it was called '2009'..aka the year I stopped listening to the radio..

                        Yep... a charitable loss by a couple of tries doesn't register much of a blip to me. It was always gonna be a tough day IMO. Darkest day though? It's round 1 and we lost by a small margin with a solid chunk of players out. It's not THAT bad!

                          Carlos you obviously haven’t been following us for too long.

                            So many bandwagoners here forgetting Robbo has led us to the promise land 3 times. Relax and trust his process. For instance watch him as he perfectly persists with Allen on the bench for the next few months until we are running 10th, then masterfully drop him, leaving us with bugger all time to go on a run to scrape into the 8. While other coaches are playing 'snakes and ladders', Robbo is playing underwater upside 3D chess. Never doubt his genius.

                              An over exaggerated thread title. As bad as we were today, I’ve seen a lot more darker days as a roosters supporter in the past 45 years.
