It's all Mini's fault!

[Andrew Walker]

agreed

[Rooster_6]

Equally shared with RTS, Jennings & Tupou.

[Tommy Smith]

So that's 1 1/2 games he's missed against the Sharks in the past year (Shark Park last season) and we've been murdered without him.

Yeah, I'd say he's still critical to our success.

If we had a fullback who could catch we still would have won last night. Not to mention an on field leader because we became a rudderless rabble without his direction in D.

On that logic Mitchell Pearce is our MOST crucial player & SBW isn't much of a loss.

[Matty_C]

Not too far from the truth however
Friend is our most crucial player. We look terrible when he sits down.

Regardless you should never lose when you are 24 points ahead

Stes Easts up for a great run home.. Don't undereastimate the Easts factor come finals time.

Look he might be an old geezer and makes mistakes from time to time - but he has what all the great fullbacks have had in defence great courage in defence, ability to read where the opposition attack is coming from and the ability to diffuse the oppositions kicking game.

yes if hes stays on we win narrowly even after a very scrappy second half.

[Funky Chicken]

For me we missed Mini big time, as well as some our other stars. Anyone who thinks we don't need Mini is dreaming.

Heath L'Estrange is so far away from a first grade player it is not funny, and that was before he stood motionless like a statue and allow Wade a Graham to score a try, he should have been hooked straight away. But then this full blown vegetable gets left on till the 57min, which I found staggering.

I hope we never see this idiot in a Roosters jersey ever again.

Nene McDonald may be good in attack, but deadset he couldn't catch a cold!

And I thought Kane Evans looked good in limited time on the field, I would have given him more time on the field...

Seriously I could go one all day, having spent most of it feeling like I lost $50 and found 50c. I guess after the bye we will see just how much character this team has. It will either prove to be a massive wake up call that kick starts our season or they will continue to show no respect to the ball, opposition and fans and miss the 8.

Come on Roosters failure isn't getting knocked down, it's not getting back up. So come on boys, dust yourselves off, pull your heads out of your backsides and play like we all know you can.....

If Roger was playing it wouldn't have been an issue.

The only irreplaceable player we have is Jake.

[Rooster_6]

We missed Mini because we were already extremely short in the outside backs and were forced to play a rookie there, it was an unfortunate & extremely rare series of events so thinking it proves anything is just delusional talk. In normal circumstances RTS would've been shifted to fullback & Aubusson to the centres or in the case of next year Ferguson to the centres & RTS to fullback.

Of course all logic seems to go out the window when it involves the untouchable.

[Johnny Tobin]

It's no excuse but we had two second rowers in the centres and two props in the second row.

But the real killer was Roger being out. Left us massively exposed when Mini got busted.
