Time to FoFF Hutchfuk
-
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe -
Thoroughly beaten tonight. 3 reasons to why:
1. Storm were at their best. Never too k their foot of the gas, got repeat sets, attacked our weak points very well.
2. Roosters shot themselves in the foot too many times to count. Our coach called for discipline at HT and we did the opposite.
3. Klein. He’s got to be one the shittest ref in the game. Definitely not the reason why we lost, but really kicked us in the balls at points.
I honestly thought we were pretty gutsy for most of the second half despite the result. We’ve got the Sharks next, hopefully we dish out a top 4 performance.
Also Hutch shouldn’t play centre again. I’d rather us play Allan.EASTS TO WIN!Comment

Radley apparently was on a brain food diet and tonite re confirmed to me he has shit for brains. Not hard to know Klein and Sutton would target him just like in the semi last year. I’ve said it before he isn’t a team player. The less media he gets the better and the less roosters.com give him coverage may help him return to not being a Bronte mug lair footy player.Comment

That was an atrocious display in wet conditions tonight when ball control should have been at a premium. I harp on about it but Suaalii isn't suited to the left side of the field, he looks awkward when he has a left hand carry and I think we lose so much with his early carries out of yardage and his potency catching kicks.
Sammy had a shocker though admittedly he was playing behind a badly beaten pack due to poor handling.
Robbo comparing Hutch to Aubo is laughable as the only thing he does better is kick.
Time to regroup after that poor effort and we'll be better with Teddy back and we need Lodge as one of our middles as we lose too much when JWH and Collins go off.
Radley hasn't learnt to pull his head in with the discipline which we have to work our way around as we have to learn to win prelims and grand finals when Klein has the whistle.

well that was poor , i stopped watching mid second half.
i guess teddy returns next week, manu to centre, lodge back soon as well, then gus ...those 3 should tighten us up.Comment

It would be good to know why Corey Allen is picked in the 17 yet sits in the rain for 80 minutes.
Meanwhile, the player he should be on for is showing everyone why he shouldn't be out there.Born and bred in the eastern suburbs.Comment

I'm going to say this here and now. If Angus Crichton comes back fit and mentally ready to play then he should replace Radley. Who should never be in first grade again.Comment

I thought our season was gooooone at one stage. The ol' 50 point thread and such. I'm not usually like that but it was looking grim. So I was ok with the scoreline.(not really)Originally posted by Eggspert View Post
Still can't fathom (even though I've seen enough of Sutton) the bunker almost instantly confirming the Olam kick and Coates try (2 knockons) - that putdown cleared the hands after first contact.
I mean, is it actually in the rules you can dropkick into the ingoal? They awarded one to Slater in origin a couple of years back - dubious then dubious now.Formerly Stringaz, from the old Wall!Comment

Should Adrian Morely have been sacked too? He gave himself a 6 week early holiday at the end of his Roosters career.Originally posted by Johnny73 View Post

I think they initially missed the drop by olam and just looked at the Coates put down, confirmed the try, then fox showed the olam replay a few times, not sure if it would have been conclusive to overturn it though.Originally posted by Sentimentinel View Post
pretty sure they changed the rule this year, where you need to regain possession of the ball before putting it down(maybe)Comment

Don't hit the panic button... Storm were at close to their best plus had the ref on their side. We got no calls.
Our defence held up well given the context of the game with us having to defend our line for 70% of the game. Couldve folded like a pack or cards.
The handling errors killed us. Same old same old. We can iron them out. Its only Round 6. Dont panic. We have light years of improvement, Melbourne dont. That's them. Very beatable.Comment

Particularly when the score's already blown out. Why not just give him a run?Originally posted by Vasco View PostComment
