NEED TO LOSE ONE BEFORE THE FINALS.

[Guest]

I really think a loss before the finals won't hurt the Roosters chances one bit. I can't see us winning 15 in a row to win the premiership. In 2013, I remember losing a horror match in round 25 to the lowly Gold Coast at home. The last 2 weeks, we've given up 50 points. A loss will be a blessing.

If we are to lose one, I think it might be the Manly game at Brookie ?

[Johnny Tobin]

I think a game like today is a loss in that respect.

Yep, kinda feels like we did just lose one - the coach was filthy in the presser and I reckon training this week won't be much fun

I agree one lose is needed and this would be the one I would prefer.
I don't want it been against the Eels or worse Souths.

Yes lets throw a game because you can't see us going all the way. You don't need to be on the wrong side of the score board to learn lessons and improve.

Well, we've lost two halves of football in the last two games, so that should do.

ive got a feeling manly will get us at brookvale?

[Thirteen]

Yes try to convince yourself that we need a loss just to compensate yourself just incase we do happen to lose one. Just keep telling yourself we need a loss!

[bondi paul]

So only 1 2nd half penalty we have received in 2 games ?

If Manly are still a chance come round 25, I think they'll get us. Still think we can drop one match and still finish top 2

do they count the back-chat as a second penalty?

personally, i feel we let them back into the game but 50/50 calls all went their way and the penalties help newcastle

BS. We have far superior forwards.

[Game Fowl]

If we have to drop one I would prefer the Parra game cause then we know it is done to keep the NRL and Parra fans happy.

We need to destroy any real threats.

So Robbo went off in the presser? That's unusual for him.
