OK so Penrith got done by the Tigers, but they've got 8 players out....... So? How many did we have out the night we flogged the Tigers? How many do we have out every week? What 8 players. We're sitting in 5th with 8 wins and 4 losses. At full strength we lead the comp, no doubt. The adversity that our great club deals with is nothing short of amazing. We may not win the comp this year but i'll tell you this for nothing, with a bit of luck with injuries in 22, we are going to be sh1t hot. Forget Melbourne, souffs or Penrith, the Roosters will be super formidable next year. Sualli, Walker, Baker, Sitilli etc all superstars in the making, I'm salivating at the thought of Keary and Walker teaming up and then there's the thought of Sualli and Tedesco trailling each other. We just about have the best pack in the comp as it is. Throw in the 8 blokes that are unavailable atm and we'll see a red white and blue juggernaught next year. Easts to win.

For large chunks of this season and last season.
So how did Penrith go tonight with their key outs? They got flogged by the Tigers. They could only muster one try instead of the 7 odd they've been averaging.
This is a reminder of Penrith's greatest asset the past 18 months: blind luck with injuries.
It's also a reminder of Robbo's greatness as a coach given how we've remained so competitive despite our horror injury toll.
Just imagine where we'd be compared to Penrith if they'd had our injury toll and we'd had no long term injuries for the past 18 months.

Bunch of sooks..welcome to our world..and Melbourne & Brisbane in past years who've provided many many Qld Origin players..when Origin first started back in the 80's, the entire Blues backline and some of the forwards came from the Eels and they didn't sook..there's no crying..no crying in baseball..or Origin

There's something special about seeing our fill roster on display. To me it demonstrates an awesome attention to detail, seeing the quality within our ranks. Our fringe players aren't just a bunch of randoms, they're players that Robbo's hand-picked and had a hand in developing because he thinks they can be quality NRL players.

Yeah, that's why I'm still enjoying this season as much as when we're in the running for minor premierships (maybe even more).

And no breaking our 19 in a row record, gotta love that. Manly supporters "have" the greatest gf win margin record now but with a forever *. I was reading the Manly forum and the morons reckon their 15 in a row from 95 is the record, someone should put the morons right.
