When Penrith couldn't put us away in the second half, and were outplayed by our half strength team, in a game that they threw everything at and were looking to use as a training run confidence booster, I knew they were done.
It's very encouraging that in our 2 games against Newcastle you'd have to say we were the better team. The first game was a caning and in the second we were very unlucky to lose even though we started with a pack that included Bunty, Seyfarth and Sukkar.
The talent is in the club, we were...
Frizzell will be a starter for sure. Mann and Brailey will provide competent NRL experience on the bench. Averillo's a class signing.
The club is moving in the right direction and it's a huge step up from guys like Murray, Hope and Seyfarth who've all shown that on their best day they're just...
I don't want Wests to sign him, but you don't really believe he went to Souths for less money do you?
He went on a real estate buying spree after signing with them.
A big thankyou to the media for pumping up the tyres of the Dolphins in last night's mismatch.
The Roosters are fielding an Origin strength team and somehow were the outsiders. You'll never go broke ignoring jersey colours and betting on the best players.
It's time to blow up the salary cap and...
It's just different perceptions of reality.
I'm in the camp that believe injuries at the wrong time to the wrong players with the wrong mid season announcement wrecked the season.
Injuries will stop any team. We weren't alone, Melbourne , The Bulldogs and Brisbane all showed that the "next man...
Let's look at the remaining four fullbacks, Tedesco, The Hammer, Edwards and Ponga.
In horse racing terms that's Ka Ying Rising, Black Caviar, Winx and Autumn Glow and here we are running out Oureone (look it up) every week.
The Roosters benefited from losing to the Panthers. It gave them a confidence building training run against the Sharks. They'll take that momentum into next week and qualify for the GF.
Of course with the Origin standard team they field every week they should've gone through the season...
It can't be said because he bagged the crap out of the club during his final year. He didn't leave on good terms at all, he was stood down with a fake injury.
He bashed the club in the media with a few rounds to go.
It was the behaviour of an ungrateful, classless churl.
He should never return
I can't believe how much flak this kid who's played a handful of NRL gets about his defence. Defence is very teachable, he'll learn. Finding the tryline and running at gaps is as rare as hen's teeth in our squad. He's a great re-signing.
On the other hand the same people bagging his defence are...
I give the Roosters a real chance today.
Penrith named their top team against us but were outplayed in the second half by a half strength Wests.
I think Penrith have supplied the best club teams I've ever seen over the past 5 years but the current team isn't anywhere near that level.
