Thought it was a lock in quinella for our best two on ground. Could have went either Vic or Terrell. And Kez busted a gut trying to ignite our patchwork backline...and damned near pulled off a win for the ages.
This one will sting for a while.

I still don’t understand the constant bombing to Nick Meaney at the end of sets last night,he didn’t drop one..
Surely a spiral bomb here or there or a kick to one of the wingers every now and then would’ve been a good change,and maybe netted a different result..
What’s that old saying,”If you keep doing the same thing you keep getting the same results”..Last edited by Lydon; 09-16-2023, 12:07 PM.

glad he finally admitted this and wants change
wonder if he has had some pressure on him internally?
mentioned we need to improve next year
only thing he didn’t admit was some poor form from his coaching selecting errors
Not able to field their probable best 17 as a combo at least once during the season as well
Only one player in Luke Keary played all games this season
1/3 or so of their best probable 17 unavailable last night- Manu
- Suaalii
- Billy Smith
- Watson
- Sitili
- JWH
2024 will be a big year, so get on board the Robbo Rooster Express.

Not sure I have even seen Sam Walker and or Luke Keary ever do such kicks - Not sure every kicker has the skills to do such kicks ?
It also depends on where you start and end your sets in what type of kick it is - General field Defensive kick and or a Offensive /Attacking Kick .
The Roosters average set distance last night was 38 metres, so very few times an offensive or attacking kick would have been an option. So the General Field Defensive Kick was the main one.
The 5 in a row premiership wins - average set distance (metres)- Manly 39
- Dolphins - 44
- Parramatta - 48
- Wests Tigers - 43
- Souths - 44
Penrith's defence for an example limits the opposition yardage ( average set distance) so when they kick it's a defensive kick
Penrith retrieve the ball and are close to or in the opposition's half on the first tackle so as a result are more often than most teams in the position for an offensive/attacking kick at the end of their sets.

NRL not happy about "vile abuse of Klein on social media".
Seems fans are sick and tired of "circus music and streamers" refereeing decisions costing their teams victory.
It's way too late in history for apologies.
"I'm sorry" doesn't wash anymore.
Don't want vile abuse on social media?
Seems the best thing to do would be to referee the matches fairly, competently, without fear or favour.

What do they expect with their stupid 6 again rule which can be used by refs without any scrutiny.
