At the moment, everyone is panicking and asking questions about the state of the Roosters. But lets understand where we are at at the moment. We are a season and a half removed from achieving something that not many clubs have achieved. Since then we've seen some of the most unfortunate runs of luck that I have ever seen as a young fan. From that 2019 winning squad 6 key members have left. One going to the enemy, one settling down with his wife in Sydney after a legendary career, another winding down a great one-man club career and the other 3 having to cut their careers short when they should've been here for another couple of seasons.
From some of the worst injury luck impacting both 2020 and 2021 and having to deal with occasional bs with the refs alongside having to endure ruff performances against top opposition has all lead to this. The club have tried their absolute best to replace the 6 players mentioned with mixed results.
Personally I believe everyone is very reactionary currently which includes myself however, we can only go off on what we see on a week to week basis which has lead to some throwing in the towel or bringing out knifes to attack players as to use as scapegoats. I echo my sentiments on my last post in the match day thread heavily, cause realistically this season has caused a lot of fear which has stemmed from that loss to Souffs last yr.
In relation to those scapegoating players, they might not be up to your standards but you have to simply understand that the Roosters won't have quality back ups in every position and have to be realistic with how injuries have treating the roosters since 2020. I repeat that we only can realistically make a proper evaluation once the last game of the season is over.
Back to back drubbings against the 2 best teams have made us disillusioned with the state of the team but we have to stay optimistic cause who knows what can happen. Throwing in the towel now would go against all the praise we gave to the team early on for being courageous during the early injury crisis. I stress that we stay optimistic and take each game as it goes before evaluating the season as a whole. The squad clearly has the talent and the heart to give the season a shake and I personally believe that the squad is capable of surprising everyone. It may or may not end up in a premiership but stay by the players whether you like all of them or not and trust in trent.
