The SOOKPEN !!

I’m an old bastard as well but that doesn’t mean I have my head in the sand.

We have problems. Big ones, but a forum like this gives its members the opportunity to vent their views which I’m fine with. The only thing we can do as fans though is show our support.

Think what you want and rabble on in here but wear your colours with pride. We are STILL one of the most successful clubs of the modern era.

oh, and fark souffs!

OH RT this is exactly correct I have been wearing some sort of Roosters gear ever since Friday night and will continue to do do until whenever it is we win our next game

I've placed fresh Garlic all around my Bar/Roosters shrine. We should be right this round.

A hat? Some socks? Maybe a coffee mug?

We have injuries.
We are still rebuilding.
Star players retired, others moved on, or left unexpectedly.
Some players have health issues, others seem to be playing with injuries.
Some players haven't lived up to expectations.
Other teams are better this season and are harder to beat.
We've been competitive in most games.
Panthers are the reigning premiers. Hard to beat them.
All is not lost.
Making the 8 would be classed as a success this season.
For that to happen changes have to be made.
If the same team as last match is selected, the 8 could become more difficult to achieve.

Many of these things ring true but professional highly paid footballers, many of representative standard, committing 18 errors in one game doesn’t ring true and is both unacceptable and inexcusable wherefore the so called ‘whinging’. It’s not losing that fans are complaining about but the atrocious error rate.

No matter we stick in there a NSW girls cup team, they wouldn’t be making so many errors. Errors = lost possession = lost field position = more defense= tries from tiring. Add penalties and 6 agains and we can’t get possession, field position or build pressure and momentum. You can’t score tries without the ball. It should not be a case of personal change. ALL first graders should be able to throw and catch a decent pass. We cannot do this. On our very first set JWH knocked on. It doesn’t matter who we play, we must master the basics.
