Victory is far sweeter though when you win against the odds.
Then the draqueens score off a knock on and a forward pass, but Klein can't over rule the refs than

The offense was certainly far better than it has been all season with Keary at Half and Manu playing as a running 5/8
Manu pass to run ratio of 0.88 - 17 runs 15 passes
Keary pass to run ration of 2.92 - 13 runs 38 passes
Keary is around 4 - pass to run ratio prior to this game
Walker is 5.95 - pass to run ratio
If Walker does come back he needs to run more but that could leave Manu like a shag on a rock if he doesn't get decent ball at right centre - reason why he was moved to 5/8
Not sure why you would think that Walker playing would have made any difference to the 40 missed tackles in the second half and and 66% completion rate (10/15)
That game was similar to the Parramatta game last season - Roosters led 19-6 at after time - early converted try in the second half for a 25-6 lead - missed tackles and errors/penalties and set restarts conceded mounted and set completions of 2 out of 10
Parra 3 converted tries and score then 25-24 Roosters with 20 to go - Roosters steady and go on to win 31-24
The clunkiness is clearly not Walker's fault and its probably not restricted only to Radley as I felt he was decent with ball in hand today. I don't think its one players fault.

That they started off “Roosters style”, we went in and out of phases, too many errors, big defensive lapses, kept inviting them back, “there was a good opportunity to lose that game”, did well with Rads off, some good stuff at the end of the game, really well done on finishing the game off. Thanked the serviceman present and welcomed back the guys returning.

Did we watch the same game? Manu was pretty ineffective in attack. He's a better centre than 5/8th.
Keary's defence was really poor.
Don't forget we played the Dragons who are an absolute rabble, not the Panthers, Storm or Broncos. They still managed to score 5 tries though our paper thin defence out wide.
Yeh have one of your main offense players like a shag on a rock at centre hardly getting any ball.
The Warriors is the next game they play and the only one they will be preparing for - only have to think about playing those teams you mention when scheduled to play them.
Results of games or how teams may play are not based on hypotheticals or previous results or performances.
The Dragons for instance defeated the Dolphins 38-12 - Roosters lost 28-18 so based on just these two results then the Dragons should have defeated the Roosters by 36 points
They didn't as it doesn't work that way.
