Positives

[Sentimentinel]

I’m going to say something controversial that will fire some people up.

I thought Radley looked good at 2nd row and I genuinely think if he continues to play well there for the rest of the season we should consider him there as a permanent 2nd rower. I know there were 2 dumb short side plays and the play the ball error but outside of that he was poking his head through the line, made some good offloads, gave good space and ball to Suaalii and helped out in yardage with some good carries.

Not controversial at all, I said last week he looked way more vintage on the edge as it simplifies his role which he needs atm.

I think Brown is doing well enough at lock. Not sure how long he'll be around though.

S Wong is a positive - at this stage.

[Rooster89]

I wasn't able to watch the game tonight but looking at the scoreline how can we say any positives.

There is nothing left to play for.

We need a fuse up our a** for 2024.

[Bates]

The only positive was Toops equal leading Roosters try scorer

What a legend!

[dice]

Turpin playing out of his skin. Nathan Brown playing well. Agree with Radley at 2nd row.

At this stage Brandon seems like a large redundant expense.

[Inflictor]

Toups is a Roosters legend.
Whyte and Wong look potential superstars. Should be good for us next year.
Good to see BSmith back and lighter. Looked good at times after a long break.
JS had his best attacking game of the season.
Good to see us throwing the ball around. Shame we couldn't ice too many.

The writing was on the wall after the disastrous trial against Manly.

Look that was a disappointing loss without a doubt. For the first 60 mins we were undoubtedly the better team. There is obviously something going on bts, but for all the trolls who come in every week saying Robbo out, get a grip. The greatest roosters coach, one of the greatest coaches of this generation, and to those saying that he’s been crap since 2019, obviously havent watched the 22,21 or 20 season where we were plagued by injuries come finals time, and in the case of 21, all season, yet still made it to 5. I want to keep the forum on a positive outlook:

congratulation to Toops. Absolute servant of the club, and still going strong. One of our best tonight.

Wong in his limited minutes looked really good

For the first time this year, Suaalii actually looked like he wanted to have a go

First time since the Eels game where we were throwing the ball around in our own half. Sure the final 20 metres were crap, but in a season that by all accounts looks over, it’s good to see some improvement

Sandon Smith despite having a lot of errors, still plays his heart out and appears exceptionally creative with the ball in hand. Hopefully our future half with Sam Walker

He’s not the greatest Roosters coach… where on Earth did you get that idea? Jack Gibson would be rolling in his grave

Even Gus and Ricky had a similar win percentage… and the Roosters have been stacked these last 10 years

Stop deifying the fool… he easily could have lost 2 GFs… and pretty much deserved to lose one if we’re being honest… people would have a different opinion of him had that been the case

I think Radley’s best spot is in the middle, albeit with less shuffle plays and more direct running. Whilst Nat Brown is tough, he doesn’t possess the skil Vic has.
If you were truly trying to be controversial, Vic at halfback is the call. Keep him out of the fire but use his distribution through his draw and pass. Alas, I don’t know Vic’s kicking game

Piss off troll. If you have nothing positive to say go to your posts that you and all the other pessimists have been pandering for the last months.

In hindsight there were very real warning signs defensively in the middle and ruck in the Melbourne trial we won

Out of interest which GF did we deserve to lose

But he didn't so not sure what the point is that you have been trying to make these past few months.

It's like a stylus stuck on the same track

The positive to me is that I can now free up a lot of HD space on my Fox-box and delete the season so far.
