So what were the positives?

[King Salvo]

I thought Egan Butcher played ok. I'm not yet convinced, as some others are, that he is is complete waste of space.

No matter what certain players do they will always have their critics

[King Salvo]

Whatttt???? He was terrible !!!

In which way ?

[Rooster36]

In which way ?

he hasn’t been playing well that’s for sure.
drop balls and poor defensive reads .. I think he’ll come good but that’s the truth

The Roosters are not the only side to lose to the Dolphins - Dolphins 20 defeated Raiders 14

In which way ?

Horrible take. But unsurprisingly as every take of yours is bin worthy. Unnecessary penalties. Dropped balls. Lazy missed tackles. He’s done this two weeks in a row now (as well as last weeks sin bin). I feel as if you just disagree with everyone, right or wrong, for the sake of interaction.

Egan Butcher to me is suffering a bit like Sitili Tupouniua. Due to all the injuries he has been thrust into a starting role . I think Ideally he would have had more time off the bench developing behind Angus. Same thing happed to Sitili Tupouniua a few years ago, was coming off the bench but due to injuries got a starting role a bit early IMO. Egan has the goods, we just need to be patient and realistic with where he is at with his development

Lindsay Collins

Turpin looks slick at dummy half.

Paulo is making his mark.

Walker is running a lot more and attacking the line.

Lots of positives.

[Rooster36]

They slaughtered tries and lost key players (we lost the cheese yes)
It's a win but if you are being honest we didn't see anything to give us much hope over the next month
Lindsay and Sammy were good

That’s what you hope, but let’s hope your wrong

Walker had a good dig at JoJo for not passing the ball - reminded me of Jazz/Rads giving him curry last year.

Hope little walker returns serve to both of them throughout the year.

I think people somehow forget that he has only played 29 NRL games and this is his 4th game as a starter in what is a new role this season due to circumstances well documented.

Robbo has a high opinion of both Butcher Brothers but as usual on this site there are folk who play the man and only look for negatives even when there are none.

With our bench and how some of the boys played last week I was not confident at all.
But some of the young fellas put in much better efforts. Paolo, Whyte, Baker, Turpin were good.
Collins was a beast.

We just need to keep in touch.

Our bench will be completely different when JWH, Lodge, Rads, Crichton (fingers crossed), Sitili, Watto and maybe Brown are back.

[Kelby]

Next Week?

Smith out

JWH in
Rads in


fingers crossed.......

[RoosterBooster]

Exactly, people expect players to come in and be superstars straight away, doesn’t happen. People are quick to right off a player

Smokey's for the comp...I foresee a bullshit call in the grand final like Melbourne vs Saints. Jamie Anuscough clipping Craig Smith...no the other one...on the cheek and, in keeping with this (In July 2001 Harrigan successfully sued Australian radio broadcaster Alan Jones for defamatory remarks made by Jones during a 1998 interview, resulting in an award of $90,000), Mr. Bill Harrigan called, rightly, for the video referee.
