Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Broncos

[Easts75]

Takes an hour and a half to get out of the car park, where do you live? Waterloo?

Blue Mountains !!! 3hrs without traffic. Not far enough according to King Google to be deemed a true supporter

[Eggspert]

You're never going to win in a press conference after conceding 50 but I don't think a young group of players needs an emotional coach right now.

We all knew the first 10-12 weeks was going to be super tough, he's got to guide the players through the next couple of months and get improvements and start getting some results. Whether you agree with the way he does it will be largely irrelevant to how successfully he can do it.

Also think it's misleading (maybe just the way you've worded it) to say he laughed off our lack of footy smarts, he was was the one who said we lacked footy smarts tonight. But laughed at the end of his statement at one of the reporters, but there's a real lack of context given we couldn't see any of the reporters or what he found amusing.

I also don't think a group of young players need a coach who just brushes that performance off with a laugh & chuckle.

Like seriously...after the finals exit, trial loss v Knights & tonight you would think a better response would be more than just shits & giggles.

It shows he's so comfortable & just going through the motions after13yrs.

Whoosh....and i thought cyclone Alfred was gonna hit Brisbane and not us.

But glad to see our french flog focusing on Defence...only 50 points today lol

Has the french flog learn't anything from our poor season starts? Obviously not,,,same old same old..

Worse start to a season ever...is this our culture now...shit training and work ethic.

Surely more peeps are starting to wake up that Trobbo is destroying the club and what's left of it's poor culture.

# Sack Trobbo.

Haha farkhead i drive a total of 3 hrs to each home game. I say thats pretty solid. Looking forward to you getting on google with your pointless stats and talking up some legless juniors like Sandon Smith from the central coast

Being rather rude and insulting to me when caught out for your feather duster support does not hide that fact that you admitted on your post betting on the Roosters to miss the 8 and to lose most games which is a fact.

Very much doubt you would have seen Sandon or other youngsters play in Junior reps and beyond

I remember other posts when you left games early and even at half time.- Fair whether to say the least.

I and others will always judge you as a supporter who is as rock solid as liquid water,

How was your drive home from the game tonight Salvo ?

[King Salvo]

Yeah exactly what you wanna hear from the coach after driving a few hours to watch a side concede 50. Lol.

Why though as Easts75 bet on the Roosters to miss the 8 and lose most games i.e wooden spoon - you and alter ego Eggspert would be happy as well in hoping Coach Robinson to be sacked.

[Eggspert]

Nat Butcher is not expected back next week after requiring surgery on what the Roosters described as an “outside of footy issue.” They also indicated he is “on the mend” so hopefully nothing longer term.

Dammit...Outside of footy issue.

Did Carlos hit him with his shopping trolley up on the Gold Coast?

Just watched the first 30 seconds of Robbos press conference and vomited. Fark he is a dribbler

He will never get D

Good looking guy.

If Billy Smith is fit next week, do we through Marky Mark on the right wing and drop Dom Young?

It's a real tough one because I really like what we've seen of Marky Mark, he's a genuine creative threat with ball in hand and given the current predicament of no Walker I think the more creative options we have the better. Resigning him to a wing limits that part of his game and he seems to have a great ability to offload/get a pass away. That pass for the 4th try (called back for offside) was ridiculous, I still don't know how he got rid of it so effortlessly.

There's a young kid called Tait who has similar top end speed to Young, only just progressed from SG Ball though and is still filling out so feel like he's still at least another 12 months away.

I just don't see anyone putting enough pressure on Dom Young yet.

[The Lip]

I'd keep Young on the wing and have him work hard at training for countless hours on his D.

Rinse and repeat week in week out until he get's it.

yes he is appalling in defence get rid of that liability - scores two lets in 6 then has a good time on the field
after the siren.
