Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[rooster till i die]

thank ****ing christ. pathetic lot decided to not run around like headless chickens.

issue is manu and teddy is they want the ball as much as possible but all they do is stutter when running and halt any attack

Yes and that must stem from the game plan that the coaches prepare.

[rooster till i die]

I fear you may be right there.

I know you are right based on recent selections.

Why won’t Robbo fix the errors? At a press conference he said he was happy with our discipline. But today was reported 16 errors!! If Robbo keeps Walker away and doesn’t do something pronto about errors then I think sadly we need a new coach. Actually I’m thinking it was Fitzy who made us. Robbo, even with a full roster just doesn’t have a clue.

As soon as the Hutchinator comes on they look better in O and score a try even

As I suggested in another thread, are you spilling more seed than Muhammad Ali restocking a bird aviary?

[Lydon]

I don't think Robinson is an idiot, he is seeing what we are all seeing. Just clear Manu isn't ready for the switch yet, probably needs a full pre-season preparing for the switch if it's going to happen in the future.

I don’t think Robbo is an idiot but he’s definitely stubborn when it comes to his decisions..

Hopefully he sees the light quickly with this one..

Everything needs to revolve around Keary or move him from 7. He has showed some good moments when he takes control of our attack - like the last 5mins of that game. But, he’s way too passive and lets Teddy and Manu takeover and we then lose all team cohesion.

[Mickie Lane]

Atrocious performance.

Teddy chasing his own kick and is the only creative outsource. Teflon Kez has been awful, Manu is not a half.

Only sweetener is those that have been defending the rubbish coaching decisions look like absolute farrkwits.

Sadly at the expense of the Roosters though

It sometimes happens mate
We get done.
Its obvious that Robbo is not comfortable with 2 small halves & I agree & if I had to pick between Keary & Walker to play 7 I would go Keary because he is more hardened to FG.
Manu could come out & carve it up playing 5/8 next week.
In saying that maybe Robbo changes the halves after this loss.
It was just one of those games that the Chooks werent up or, should they have won, yes but in saying that the Cowboys are also a good side on their day.

[bondi.boy]

Can't blame Walker or Hutch for this debacle.
Lodge was about the only forward with go-forward (JWH a bit too).
But we're punting Lodge.
Gotta be kidding!

[Boondi]

Probably the worst start to a season in a while. Attack is just flat and predictable. I love Manu as a centre and a fullback but not so much as 5/8. Hopefully we can rebound with a better performance next week. Agree with a lot of people in this post, Manu back to centre, and Sualii back to wing. Keep Billy Smith, he was our best player tonight. Perhaps start with Turpin, and Brandon off the bench.

Yep, I was getting excited for a moment!

[mightyrooster]

I mean taking the frustration and anger out of it, the cows were absolutely smashed and embarrassed last week. They were always going to come out firing, the classic bounce back. The conditions brought them back into it also, enabling the game to tighten up. But gee I just don’t know what the answer is for our halves.

[The Lip]

I don't often say this but I'm not going to Penrith on Friday.

I don't say that often either - however I have never been!

[Lydon]

So how many weeks will Robbo take to admit he ****ed up and bring Walker back?

Good luck with that one

[BillyBonkers]

Good finish from the chooks.

Union got an absolute bargain at 1.6 M
