Why is everyone so negative?

[Rooster89]

I've just seen numerous posts about how our season is done and how we need to change your roster asap.

Is our faith in our team that shallow after a loss we get off the bandwagon and put the boots into our players.

I see it the complete opposite. After this huge loss, I think we will come out next week with a full strength team(ex friend) and put 50 on whoever we're playing and we will demolish this final series.

Have faith guys, our team needs us!!!

There are positives from the game. The compressed defence line needs work. The 1 off the ruck hit ups and not playing the ROOSTERS way.

We can't play any worse.
Maybe the wake up call we needed.
We still have a champion team and club.
Write us off at your peril.

People handle adversity or challenges very differently.

[rented tracksuit]

We will win.

Regardless whether we win or lose next week, the players will come out with the attitude that had won them the last 2 premierships, and will show that last night was nothing more than a little pothole in our path.
Cannot believe the number of fans who are writing us off. Sure the effort last night was so bad, I’m still shell shocked, however we have seen what they’re capable of producing when the going gets tough, and last night was a one off, never to be seen again from the RWB.

Let's face it mate, with all the success of recent seasons, we have many bandwagon supporters who are here to enjoy the good times. Not many like you and I have who been around for decades and support the team through thick and thin.

Not surprised at those writing us off. Same old folk.

What I am surprised about at those commentators who actually believe Souths can win the comp. Please ffs.

As robo said post match a good team just doesn't become a bad team over night
there was more arse than class in a lot of there tries and wingers rushing in defence doesn't help,
imagine the story line when we 3 peat

Where does all the negativity come from?
Roosters fans everywhere SHOULD be upset, angry and embarrassed after last night. More so, because it came against that f*@kn joke of a club vermin outfit. I personally am shocked, because I didn't expect such a poor defensive showing from a team that I have high hopes for.
But that doesn't mean that I'm not a passionate fan. I've bled RWB from the day I was born. I have lost friends over this club. We all have our reasons for supporting this club. Many on here are just using this forum as a means to vent their frustration. And that's good because it means that they CARE.
And one of the many great things about being a fan of this this team is knowing that the players care too. No doubt they are all burning about last night and will know that they have no option but to right that wrong next week.
As Robbo said a good team doesn't become a bad team over night. Suffering a record breaking loss is bad, but this team has broken records to become the champions that they are. Coming back after a 52 point loss to win this year's comp will be just another record to break.
Today is a new day, the real season starts next week. And the footy gods help whoever we come up against because there's no way anyone can stop us. The season won't be over until Easts lift that third straight premiership on GF night.

I still believe we will do the 3 peat despite last night's disgraceful display and whoever we play next week we will be underdogs.

[roosterchook]

There must be a reason for last night otherwise it would have happened much more often yet it hasn’t. They just allowed too many offloads and fell off tackles. Tyat was the problem all might - the defense. They weren’t putting the man down. Someone mentioned team disharmony. It certainly wasn’t the Roosters playing last night. The only other reason I can think of is that this resting policy is interfering with and destroying combinations so players are always out of position and not combining well in attack or defense. They played like strangers last night.

The last two weeks clearly show me we will not be allowed to win The 6 again rule is being used by officials to screw us over Last nights performance I put down to the fatigue from last week being forced to tackle all second half I believe the last two games the 6 agains are 17-4 against us We got one all night last night almost scored and didn’t get another after that

[King Salvo]

Parra lead 16 - 8 at half time now its WT 22 Parra 16 with 26 to go- 5 tries to WT first conversion of 5th try- mmmm this is getting interesting

The best news is that we had a week off this week. Nobody played so we should be well rested...
