Next man up

It would be an interesting game against us

[Bansai Pipeline]

That really is all you need to know right there.

Unbelievable.

You'd have to say that's pushing the limits of ordinary bad luck. Sure age has something to do with it but still...

No wonder we're looking for a new trainer.

You have to wonder if training is that intense, 80% of game intensity, that they have minor tears and strains.

Could this team beat the current team? With Teddy, Manu and JWH on fiiire...I'm not sure....maybe.

[Maxy Walker]

Pretty handy pack. All origin level except for maybe Butcher.

[ism22]

LOL if we had that team, we'd be #1 and people would be whinging that we're cheating the cap.

Next man up

Is this term something that we have coined this year? I’m asking as I heard the Drizz trying to use it last week and thought it was a bit cheeky if it was ours.

We’ve used it for a few years now.

[rented tracksuit]

We’ve used it for a few years now.

Yeah thought so. Bit rude of those bastards trying to use it.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Yeah thought so. Bit rude of those bastards trying to use it.

With 14 guys out, ours is more next team up.

I think the injured & suspended team would win.

They're still saying like on talkback radio some other fans call saying 'Yeah but the Roosters have a good side regardless of all of the injuries..."

Yeah I suppose Ikuvalu, Lam, Hutchinson, Keighran, E Butcher, Walker and the other new Chooks were the talk of the town before this season...! Connor Watson has signed and as reported chose to take a lesser amount in $$ and it's already a conspiracy to those nuffies.

I'm sick of hearing this. Reddit NRL wankers were going on about "it's the Roosters having great depth it's nothing special" meanwhile Parramatta fold like a cheap deck chair after 1 injury, red and green vermin shit had back to back games totalling something like 0-110 and said "well Reynolds was missing" and Penrith had what, 2 or 3 players missing and fell apart, Manly without Tom Turbo were getting spanked for the first 4 or 5 weeks. For us to even be sniffing the top 4 says two things: 1) the club has incredible resilience and nobody can ever deny that Robinson isn't a top tier coach and 2) quite frankly the rest of the competition sucks.

If we had a healthy roster we'd win the comp, I think Melbourne had quite a few players out and still went strong but I'd back us to win; Penrith wouldn't get close if we had a full strength team and forget about Parramatta or the scum. I have a bad feeling we will make the grand final which I don't really want to happen because anyone against Melbourne is just cannon fodder and like 2017 it might be better to miss out on this one.

I've been following the Roosters for over 20 years and I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the best season I've seen from the club and incredibly proud of everything they've done this year. We'll probably get flogged by the vermin, we'll probably get touched up in the finals but I don't care by all rights with this many injuries pretty much anyone else bar Melbourne wouldn't be winning a game.
