A loss would have been better. These pathetic performances that result in wins take the heat off teflon trent, when we limp into finals and get knocked out week 1, rainbow robbo escapes the spotlight, but we need a season where we don't make the 8 and hopefully the non stick coating on the frenchie wears off and uncle Nick gives him the flick. Where doing nothing this season anyway, I'd rather take the L's now and end expose the genius supercoach for the fraud he is.

The merged team were engineered back into the game by the officials.

Thought Handbake did a good job of shutting down their left edge for the most part yesterday when he came on for Toups. Don't think Turpin would have been able to do that.

Sorry, Handbrake made one decent tackle..... maybe he tried to get out of theway but wasnt' quick enough. Turpin is no world beater but he's streets ahead of the handbrake, and we can use him when our dynamo of a dummy half needs a recharge twice a game. I know Smith is good, explosive, creative etc, I just wish he could keep it up for more than 20 minutes.

Roosters squad and positions covered - includes both full contract NRL players and Development/Extended Bench contract players (Highlighted) - Watson could cover the halves and possibly Fullback if required but more a forward utility nowadays.
The squad is more than capable and just need to work towards a consistent 80 minute game week in week out which is what is missing to be a real premiership contender - less injuries as well would greatly help
Fullback - Tedesco/Manu/Suaalii/Allan/Sandon Smith
Wing- Toops/Paulo/Manu/Suaalli/Momirovski/Billy Smith//Allan/Karawalevu/Katoa/Pauga/ Henare-Schuster
Centre- Manu/Suaalii/Hutchinator/Billy Smith/Momirovski/Allan/Toia/Pauga/Henare-Schuster
5/8- Keary/Walker/Hutchinator/Manu/ Sandon Smith
Half - Walker/Keary/Hutchinator/Sandon Smith
Lock - Radley/Watson/Brown/ N Butcher/E Butcher/Whyte/Brandon Smith
Second Row- Crichton/Sitili/N Butcher/ E Butcher/ N Brown/Whyte/Wong/Brandon Smith/ El-Zakham
Front Row - JWH/Collins/Lodge/Thomas/Terrell/Whyte/Wong/ El-Zakham/Thomas/Napa
Dummy Half - Brandon Smith / Hutchinator/ Turpin/ Radley/Watson/ Deakin/Moriarty

The thing you are right about is that we as a premier club should have been able to manage our roster so we have better coverage than either the Handbrake or Turpin offer, neither of them is a genuine 14, and since we went and bought a hooker who can't play 80 minutes, we should have had the nouse to get a good 14 who can cover dummy half and the halves or outside backs. Poor roster management.

we have to abide by same rules as every club
And we do have a decent number of internationals/origin stars, so that results in the need to have more modest players filling out the squad.
It's not hard to understand Norfolk.
I'm sorry, but NRL clubs (including our own) have plenty kind blowingly thick supporters. This nonsense like 'premier club's that get trotted out are nonsense, and I can't believe people buy it. Good other example - Roosters get lambasted for being the silvertails with brown paper bags, yet the Rabbitohs are a wealthier club but are the 'battlers from Redfern' LOFL

We need another quality centre, it's probably our achilles heel. Souths now have Mitchell and Wighton, a quality pairing. For what it's worth I believe that this is our strongest team atm.
