Finals Week 1

[Noosa Rooster]

I may be wrong but am fairly certain that:

1. Melbourne have never beaten us in finals football.

2. Souffs have never beaten us 3 times in the 1 season.


Bellamy said in an interview today that Ado Carr, Munster and 1 of their forwards were in doubt for week 1.

Week 1, 2015 Storm beat us 20 to 18.

Week 1, 2015 Storm beat us 20 to 18.

Thanks. I stand corrected.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Really looking forward to these finals.

Not expecting much from our lads, but living in hope of something miraculous.

I reckon if we do face Souths at some point, we will do them.

No worries mate. I can't think of a time that Souffs beat us 3 times in a season though. Not in my lifetime at least.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Sharks or Titans. I'd prefer Titans

The comment about Penrith winning 20+ consistently when Cleary is there is beyond dumb, the guy has not lost a game of football at all in 2021 including origin lol he's been injured throughout the year and when he's played Penrith have gone 15/15 so far this year and last year went 17/18 in the regular season and 19/21 overall with Cleary that's 34/36 in the last 18 months







Mate ,are you dumb or what?
It is obvious that you are impressed by statistics , and you comments about the Riff winning 17/18 regular season games last year with him in the side and 19/21 overall , shows you are good at research.
But guess what , I don't give a f#*k about your statistics, and I would not be impressed , even if they won 25 games out of 25 in the year with Cleary there.
That does not make Cleary a great player All the regular season wins may have something to do with the fact that the riff have a bundle of superstars in their team like Chrichton, Staines, Luai, Yeo, Kikau, Pangai Jnr, Burton, T'oo Capewell, Fisher Harris , Leota just to name a few.
If you read my post carefully, I said Cleary needs to prove that he can win 20+ games for the riff IN FUTURE YEARS when he hasn't got all this cattle available to him to make him look good. If half this squad disappear , and he can still keep the Riff at the top of the competition table I will give him the accolades.
Do you think in 2026 , everyone will look back at the 2021 season, and Marvel at how the Riff won 15/15 games with Cleary at the helm?
No - it will all be long forgotten by everyone, no one else will give a f@#k about these irrelevant numbers (excepting of course, you)..
You and the other Joker on this forum have also pumped this guy up to immortal status already - you both should have the crowning ceremony tomorrow with the other sheep in the media.
Yes - give someone immortal status , when they have achieved diddly- squat , and managed to fail miserably in the only acid test that counted - the 2020 Grand Final.
I have watched players who had more footballing talent in the small finger of their left hand, than Cleary has in his whole body.
That's my opinion, I'll stick with it.
I also reckon Burton is headed for greatness.
Maybe I do make controversial comments , just to engage some healthy debate - but when people tell me I am making absurd or stupid comments, just because I do .not agree with the mainstream ideas out there , (flouted by the likes of Gould, Johns & Co), does not mean I am wrong.
The other thing I get pissed off with on this forum is the number of people who deathride our own Rooster players, and do not give them a chance of success during the finals.
I hate the negativity on the forum. There are a few positive posters here, who are starting to believe we are a chance this year - good on you, great to read something refreshing for a change..
There's another poster on here - Bondi Boy - who says we need bigger players to succeed - its a different opinion to lots of others, he gets ridiculed on our forum , but to some extent, I agree , and like the fact that he has the balls to make a comment against the mainstream.
I have learnt my lesson that to say something different , brings out the adverse reactions from others.
Even slightly rattling the cage of guys like you brings comments out that I am "beyond dumb"
I'll just stick with everyone else's ideas , and we can all live together and agree on everything , as content little people, in this ideal world fantasyland/ Disneyland.
And my last comment on the Cleary issue - don't go around glorifying someone who has not earnt the glory yet - you will look like a real dickwad, if it doesn't happen.
You are a real dickwad anyway, because you have already glorified someone who hasn't earnt it, anyway.

He has the ability to do everything on the footy field, best kicking game in the comp, really solid defender, High IQ, Elite goalkicker, great running game and more...






More stupid media following rubbish from an brainwashed fan:

best kicking game: I thought that belonged to Reynolds?

Really solid defender: So is Hutch , Butch, Radley in our side - does that make them future immortals?

High IQ : I have never seen Cleary playing a chess game on the football field. Has anyone else?

Elite Goalkicker: Most teams have one or two of these in their side. It does not mean they are all destined for the hall of fame.

Great Running Game : Is he fast - not really , elusive - no ,
change of pace - haven't seen it yet , acceleration - not really. Deception - definitely not.


More : More of what?

[Johnny Brass]

Sharks or Titans. I'd prefer Titans

I do too though I think we'll beat them both. Wouldn't have any confidence in the Titans to beat the warriors by 12.

[Johnny Tobin]

Week 1, 2015 Storm beat us 20 to 18.

Thanks to Cummins. He let them get away with murder. There were about half the play the balls in that game than the other three.
