we were definitely underdone, when we held the ball past tackle 4 we looked like scoring every time, we are notorious slow starters and wet track flops, for the most part our defense was terrific, those tries off kicks are always a concern for us, Souffs the March Premiers just held on to the ball and waited for our mistake. Apart from losing to these muppets it’s good to get the bad one out early

It was what I expected too, but thats not negative.
Last season I thought we sometimes looked good but never looked great until the semis.
I think Robinson coaches for the season and its about the Roosters not as much about what the other team are doing.
Last night Bennett brought out the plan to beat the Roosters. It was clever. Do I think that will beat us at the end of the season and do I think that Souths will get any better. No to bothThe Internet is a place for posting silly things
Try and be serious and you will look stupid

What I posted in the gameday thread
Disappointing performance
Timing was out, knock-ons and forward passes
Errors coming very early in the set mainly in our get out sets, giving them good start field position
Piggyback penalties on their get out sets, giving them good field position leading to one of their tries.
With a 2:1 ratio of penalties, 15 errors, just over 40% possession which was mainly in poor field position, poor completion rates and complete nearly 400 tackles in a game, with 113 more tackles than the opposition, then their metres run are going to be good.
If I was Souths and I didn’t win I would be crushed.
Big positive for us was for the moments when we addressed all of the above and got in their 20 we scored well-constructed tries.
All of the above will only get better week to week.
That aside hate losing to Souths and rationalising what went on is small consolation.

those two post kicks tho... really wish we would do what the NFL do and have 1 post behind the deadball line and have the goal hang over ... because the % of scoring a try from hitting it is insanely high .My Roosters Channel - youtube.com/IRoostermanI

We were poor but we hung in for most of the game and looked way better in attack in good field position than they did. If we had held onto the ball more we would've won. Just not our day unfortunately.
IMO, their defence was poor and cracked easily. If I was Bennett, I would be more worried. Their defence was loose like a wizards sleeve

About what I expected too...which is why I stayed home [I don't live at Bondi anymore] and didn't watch the game, taped it.
Wet, no trial here, SCG, "Roosters favourites to win the comp", "Latrell will smash Inglis".etc
What's with the 30 minute warm ups, players are worn out before the match starts.
"Slippery and soggy SCG" todays paper says.
We have to learn to play in the wet.
We are a big prop short.

We had 43% possession and completed our sets at 64% but had 5 LBs to 2.
And Souffs with 3 tries off kicks including 2 off the posts where as we had 3 through the hands with Cords doing his usual try bomb as well.
So I just see us as the much better team all things considered. Come our rnd 25 clash we'll be entrenched in the top 4 where as Souffs will be praying to avoid injuries all year just to hang onto us when it matters.
