Worrying Stat

[Bronte Chook]

This is a worry:

If that’s not a motivator nothing will be.

None of our forwards have played consistently well this year. Even Cords is down on form. SST isn’t a front rower but has to play there cause of depth issues.

Give Bronte Chook a run. At least he’s passionate for the jersey.

If you look over our stats each week from our forwards you can clearly see that on paper there isn't much to say that any of our forwards are in form. Our forwards are inconsistent and our backrow aren't looking to get their hands on the ball. There doesn't seem to be the hunger or motivation that our forward pack was once known for.

I'm no fan of Fergo from past years but if it hasn't been for some of his early returns, I'd dare to say that we would have been on the back foot alot more often so far in this year than what we have been.

It’s very worrying. With such terrible forwards don’t expect to make the 8 but expect more thrashings Cronk or no Cronk.

[Easts75]

Our forward pack wouldn't intimidate a decent A grade team, throw into that next to no skill regarding offloads and you realise how weak they are.
I'd cop no offloads if they were running hard, controlling the ball and laying a good platform, but they're doing neither of those.

SST has made little impact this year.
Napa does what we have come to expect. He is still recovering from bashing Souths 2 years ago.
Jarred tries but he’s a family man now and runs a business.
Aubo is old.
Friend’s a snail.
Cords has been quiet by his standards .
Liu hasn’t continued his from of late last season.
Tets goes hard but with little impact.
Radley is a champion Roosters junior.

Pretty accurate description unfortunately.

This.

Also Matterson has over-bulked up. Turning into: "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane".

Yes Matto has had such little impact that I even forgot to even mention him. It’s the new Dallas Hood/Kane Evans.

So it seems the nz worriers supporters were right on one count last week. They were of the opinion that flake and the forwards are the weak links in the Roosters.
Listening to the interview with TR talking about playing the "Roosters way" had me thinking what way is that exactly?

[ism22]

But how many tackles did they do in comparison? Wink wink... they will run more metres when we get more ball.
