Roosters v Melbourne... DISCUSS!!!!

[Thirteen]

Geez fergo is slow. He ran onto that break at full pace bit got run down with ease.

Did you think he was slow last week when he ran down the Cronulla centre?

[Guest]

I feel sorry for Cordner/SST/SKD having to play in this rabble of a side, they deserve better.

SKD is part of the problem well past his best along with plenty others who need moved on

[Thirteen]

So sad how far we've fallen. We're stuck with Pearce and Friend so it doesn't look like things will improve anytime soon.

I didn't think you were watching.

We'll play the drongo's into form next week...
Robbo has lost the plot with fergo at fullback...
Possibly his best game of the year (doesn't mean much), but Latrell was barely sighted tonight...
Not that he went looking for the ball...
If that's the game plan with Gordon at fullback next year we're going to be down in the basement again...

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned it but Mitchell Aubusson can hold his head up after tonight. He made Will Chambers his bitch in what I saw of the game. Which I admit wasn't much as I was catching up on the Yanks game from today.

I saw the score. It doesn't take Einstein to work out who the culprits are.

A much better effort than the 46-O drubbing we got from them last time dudes.

I thought SST, Cords, Liiiuuuu, Aubs, Toops, Skids played well. Fergo while not a fullbacks arsehole and Guerra put in more than those two dudes have for most of the year but that's not a pass mark unlike the others I mentioned before.

Also special mention to Stehr for being bothered to watch and post comments here. Keep up the good work man.

Mitchell being wasted on the wing is a crime against Rugby League. He's worth the price of admission alone and we gifted the game to the storm by not having him involved. Was Robbo just intent on a defensive unit to prevent another 46-0 drubbing? If he was out to win tonight then Mitchell would have been used not sidelined.

We tried that. Round 14 and were flogged 46-0 at home.

Mitchell is the worst defensive FB in the comp.

What is wrong with Evans ? That crabbing run away from cronk when he should have run over him. Some of the team like cords and SST are golden, some like pearce are hot and cold and their are others who are crap like friend.

They are not all on the same page.

I'll give half a mention to toops in that he's pulled his finger out the last few outings, but a huge wrap on Watson for his toughness alone.

the stroms defense was most worried of him.

[Mad_Rooster_in_GraceLand]

I would like to add and say, that young dude Connor Watson tried his proverbial off. Made some mistakes but plenty of energy and will get better.

I only saw the highlights but can anyone fill me in here?
- why was Latrell on the wing?
- is JWH okay?
- was Copley dropped or a late injury?

Update re JWH mate I found this on the SMH website. I don't think it is serious based on what I have read.
With the Roosters facing a five-day turn around and Waerea-Hargreaves having already struggled with his knees this season, Robinson said it's unlikely the New Zealand prop will face the Broncos.
"It's sort of a lateral ligament [in his knee]," Robinson said after the game.
"I doubt (that he will play Thursday). It's not long term but it won't be ready in five days."

[bondi-boy]

Fergo at fb lol. If you're going to rest mitchell then rest him properly and keep him off the field.

Amen.

[bondi-boy]

Geez the strom are spoiling cheats

Correct.

Seem to try to hurt players in tackles and force them off the field.

But hey, they are winning, and are up the top.
We play fairly, don't lie down ETC, and are down the bottom.

Hmmm, simple solution to that problem, we do what the Storm and others are doing, then we'll be up the top.

Our Club is too nice, our players are too nice, and our coach is too nice.

'Cattle-Dog" Tommy might be available for coaching lessons for coach and players.
