Roosters’ premiership window is just opening'

I believe Robbo is the best coach in the NRL but that he’s miscalculated badly the influence of poor ball handling. Our spilt balls accompanied by 6 agains has us defending for lengthy periods tiring us out quickly. If he fails to fix our handling then we can look forward to more 40+ scores against us.

Further to your point, last night's completion rates:
PARRA 80%
RIFF 89%

Achieving consistently high completion rates has been our Achilles Heal for a number of seasons. A couple of weeks ago Vossy indicated we were 2nd worst in the competition which blew me away given our position on the ladder.

Even in our B2B premiership years we were nowhere near the high 80's. Go figure how complete a team we'd be if our respect for the ball was better than it has been???
