Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sharks

[milanja]

Neither centre thus far has offered anything in attack this season We know Joey has it but Suaali has so far shown nothing as an attacking centre

he was so effective on the wing last year, he hasn’t beaten a player at Center, the experiment should be over.

[roosterchook]

Sorry to admit it but after our double premiership the roosters seem to have degenerated into a glorified ‘has been’ side.

The under 8s style pass from dummy half after the no-try is what cooked it for us. Who was the nuftie that threw it?

It was Brandon Smith.

Seems to have a few moments every game where he just shits the bed.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Messy game with both teams not at their best.

We seemed to lose our energy in that 2nd half, even before the bins. Clunky in attack. We should be sharper than that by Round 7.

Lindsay was outstanding and didnt deserve to be on a losing team.

Maybe both teams cancelled each other out with the respective Coaches knowing how the other team would play.

Poor defence in the Brailey try that saw Hynes skip through.

Whats doin Coach?

[King Salvo]

Hutch on for 15 min period and attack went completely flat. And he was knackered after 5 mins

why him and not Turpin?

Hutch was one of three players that made a line break - 11 tackles and 0 missed - The "superstars" were the one's MIA

Can't really blame anyone this week it was just a very poor second half performance. Discipline is absolutely shocking, three sin bins, 14 penalties, 2 ruck infringements. On attack we were woeful, plenty of times we got down there and just went for the predictable kick to Tupou or Manu which Sharks easily covered every time, we have the best back line in the comp why not utilise it? We had nothing.

Perhaps most frustrating is that we don't really see any changes made when the team is struggling instead the players and coaches try the same shit, it doesn't work, they get frustrated and grub it up and we unravel. Very disappointing, the Sharks should've been a tough game that we ended up winning but instead we're on the losing end and have again put in a poor performance.

I need to after that shit show.

Great restraint Big Dog - well done

[Eggspert]

Can’t score tries, can’t complete sets, can’t get possession, errors galore, sin bins galore, penalties galore = a wooden spoon side. Wooden spooners. Question must be asked - has the coach got the dressing room? Even with the return of Lodge and Tedesco still hopeless.

I'm almost convinced (90%) that we won't win another comp with Robbo.

Don't hate him or calling for his sacking but his coaching is in decline.

[yeception]

Radley was fine in the game, it's his attitude. His idiocy seems to be rubbing off. That Sin bin at the end was just him taking the piss.

[The Lip]

I love this place after we don’t win.
It’s always the ref cheated or the NRL have it in for us.

Very rare it’s we played bad or were outplayed.
We are a team of champions not a champion team.

Im starting to get a little concerned we are going to miss a top two finish but still fully expect to be well inside the top eight.

I don’t know if it happens now but the playing group should introduce a fine system for errors or sin bins and use the pool of money towards the end of season trip.
Some players might be funding a few team mates trips with the stupid errors or sin bins.

That trip will be cheaper in August as well

[Flipper Hands]

We looked like we have been flogged in training the last 2 weeks. Walker has been mercilessly targeted by oppositions to wear him out. Why didn't Whyte play a single minute? 14 penalties? Really? We played no footy at all and got what we deserved.

Demoralising to watch. One of the most over reffed games I have ever watched.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Hutch on for 15 min period and attack went completely flat. And he was knackered after 5 mins

God only knows. The middle defence can relax if hes at dummy half. Such a waste.

[Eggspert]

Shhhh! We are well coached.

That was a wooden spoon performance. Just hopeless.

Just didn’t have the speed to do anything with the linebreak.

Clearly reads the game well and knows where to put himself but needs to go get in shape.
