lol the Roosters gave Anasta the option to play in the 9's if he wanted, thank god that didn't happen

No. I'm saying cut the players slack. Not sure if you expected three man cut out passes and length of the field trys but like I said. It's still pre season. I'd rather win round 1 of the nrl than the 9s final.

Of course it would be brilliant to be seeing us score some length of the field tries, who wouldn't want to be seeing that!? Unfortunately we don't have many players capable of that, and our main two who are capable in Fergo and Jennings aren't playing. I was hoping to be entertained by our team which is what this competition is all about, instead I have mainly been disappointed and frustrated by what they have been producing.

I agree with you BC, without doubt I would much rather win round 1 than the 9's, but what I am getting at is the attitude of some of our players, which is easily transferred over from the pre season over into the season proper. Macdonald needs to pull his finger out, and I want to see more aggression from Evans, just like what Napa and JWH show.

What I want to see Fletch is Mini, Freddy and Anasta all representing us for the 9's next year. The reason being because Robbo wants us saving our best players and concentrating on winning the World Club Challenge in England.

Evans atm is the new posterboy for "looks like Tarzan, play like Jane".

He needs to take some angry pills like Napa, who is going to be penalised for heaps of cracking legal hits this year.

NRL 2015 - where players are penalised for tackling too hard!

[Tommy Smith]

Lol blatant shepherd.

[Tommy Smith]

Lol wtf?!?!?!

Pearce ignored the bonus area!!!

[Tommy Smith]

Maybe not... a bit harsh.

Best running half in the game. Love him.

[fletch]

didn't notice it yesterday but Pearce looks to have bulked up around the chest in the offseason

[Tommy Smith]

Rts tackled without the ball and no pen!!

Staggering.

[fletch]

how the hell was that not a penalty

[Tommy Smith]

Knock on!!

Went back by a mile!!

**** offf!! Unreal.

[Tommy Smith]

****s are a ****ING joke.

J. O. K. E.

[Tommy Smith]

We haven't had a penalty since the 3rd min of the 1st game lol

[fletch]

I see Cummins hasn't lost any of his bias during the offseason, not only should it have been a penalty when RTS was pulled back it should have been a sin bin.
