Roosters vs Sharks Match Discussion

[Johnny.]

thought maloney was much worse. just my thoughts anyway.

I was doing a whole Schindler's List thing. It was on cable when I got home early. It's true, I'd rather watch a film done by Christ killers than watch the Roosters lose.

[John Corey]

I am with you John, Pearce will not do that again.
How often does he draw and pass correctly I was very surprised when he stuffed up and tried to beat the fullback.
He is class and will be very dirty on himself

He should have drawn and passed but after seeing the replay I can see his way of thinking. There was a player coming from the left to cover RTS. I guess he was t ting to beat the first and then was gonna draw and pass on the cover defender.
But tbh he should have had more faith in RTS coz I don't think the cover would have posed a problem with his step.

Our 6 and 7 were clueless. But our forwards played in dinner suits (like Gus used to say). I can't believe that Trent wouldn't send outa message to them to stop putting up midfield bombs, and look to run it instead. Just something different. Surely he would have done that.

You lost some points there.

[John Corey]

Regarding he first half though, I am worried as to how easily the sharks made metres just running back behind our markers. It was a cheap 10-15m every time. We were obviously missing Hargraves leadership in that area of the field.

Robbo better fix that quick smart or we are in for a tough season

Danish I noticed that right from the start. But I think that is just attitude thing. They were not there mentally today.

What I have never understood is how u cannot be up for Cronulla, despite how bad they can be. They always bash us. But I honestly knew this would happen. I kept reading on here how we were gonna rack up a huge score. I didn't believe a bit of it. I knew if we took them lightly they would belt us. And I believe our forwards should be embarrassed with what they gave the club today.

And honestlyim off to Suncorp next week and if there is a repeat it will be a cricket score. We were lucky Cronulla don't score much. A decent side would have put 30 on us.

Who stole the Roosters?

[John Corey]

Maloney was the worst on the field, Pearce was close though.

I don't think so. I thought our forwards were the worst on the field. Bashed, smashed and bashed again. We were on the back foot.

Then our 6 and 7 were the worst after that.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Have never been so angry at a game. Full stop.

Not with the players but the clear rort that was on.

Our guys were so stuffed and frustrated at the reffing of one team only that some fatigue and errors were inevitable.

The damage was done at halftime but our inability to attract a penalty or win a call was too much today.

Even when we scored a fair try which may have given us one more set to win the game in the dying minute... No rule a fair pass fwd and make sure of it guys!

I can fully understand why the bulldogs pelted those officials...and I would have done worse I'd I could today...instead I ran down to bay 13 and abused the fk out of them...and them punched some brick walls.

Absolutely sick of this crap and peoples leisure time and dollar played with by corrupt officials.

Close to walking.

A great great game has been ruined.

I do not believe there was a problem with the officiating and the tone of the match was made in the very first set of 6 tackles where the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks made their way in to our territory very easily. Their forward pack was far more impressive today than what our players offered.

I know u r serious Jack.....but are you serious?

The Ref doesn't decide what our attitude is like from the kick off. They were all over us from the start of the game, despite no one scoring.

The Refs hate us. But they were not the reason we lost. We lost coz our forwards played like pussies. And then our 6 and 7 didn't have the composure to try to deal with playing on the back foot.....Bombs Awaaaaaaayyyyyyyy.

My favourite was when that ****wit Cummins gave us a penalty with 40 seconds to go. An absolute **** of the highest order.

I turned around to a old easts fan in the menbers I know from the sports groud days - I said the game is corrupt,

They did so much flopping, crowding, pushing, coming up with the foot and second efforts we should have had a double figure penalty count. But we got none of them.

[Hollus]

You just knew that last pass was going to be called forward. Also fwiw i didn't think Pearce's pass was forward either, even though he made the wrong call by taking on the full back i still think it went back. Add to that the missed 6 again call when we were on their line, the numerous strip penalties every time they dropped the ball plus the total inaction over Fifita's play the balls - they are seriously bordering on a joke i can't believe (oh actually i can) that no action was taken.

[roostersrule2]

Refs didn't cost us, they didn't help, but our forward pack and halves did the damage.

[John Corey]

I tell you what. After watching today's game, if we lose RTS to NZ, I think I will cry. I'm talking rivers of tears. Might even smash one of my Les Paul to bits.
