The darkest day in our history

[SamKerrSimp]

No, I don't have a short memory. But yesterday was a massive disappointment. Nobody other than Easts supporters will remember the 2 score lines you referred to above, however EVERYBODY will remember that the Dolphins, on debut, totally outplayed a team that is supposedly favourite to win the comp. It will go down in history and will always be a pub trivia question. I don't care about losing GFs, at least they bloody got there and could look back on those beaten seasons with some pride of being runners-up. Yesterday should have set the platform for a good year. I saw NO positives. My predictions for penalties, restarts, tries conceded, HIAs and sib bins largely proved correct.

If you think the above score lines were our darkest days, then maybe that makes you the drama queen? Same logic applies, no?

Hardly anyone could tell you who the Titans got their first win against unless you’re a titans fan this loss will be irrelevant

[Kramer]

Overused cliche, anyone who thinks this was our darkest day must not have been around long.

You're right there. I was around in 66' and we had the darkest year then.

The darkest day in my time supporting the chooks was a certain day at the end of a certain season at the end of a certain players career in which we got a certain kitchen implement in which there was certainly some suspicious bullshit that I won't mention.

Yesterday was nothing compared to. Good ol round one Roosters.

Will enjoy seeing them run out in the shiny new digs on Saturday.

[Eggspert]

We embarrassed ourselves on a day where all eyes were on a new teams debut into the NRL

Hardly anybody gave the fish a chance & we could have made an immediate statement for 2023.
Our squads been together under Robbo for far longer than the fish & most have tipped us to take it out this year.

Yesterday showed the same bumbling fumbling crap that's become the Roosters way now.

2 points cost us a top 4 spot last year with early losses to Knights, Bulldogs & Dragons.

Why can the Storm not lose a Rd1 game in the last 15+ years also they lost most of their forward pack but still beat Parra away.

This weekends response will define where we are heading this year.

So he should . Something like I'm F8cking sorry I didn't prepper you properly for today's game . Im f&cking sorry I stuffed the bench rotation and played a bench player out of position in the centres .Im f&cking sorry I have failed to prepper the team for however many years its been since we have won the first game of the season. Im f&cking sorry I didnt teach you how to defend or attack. I suspect he said something like this and took proper responsibility for a change .

Whatever he said, I can guarantee you he didn’t use the word “prepper”.

Sounds like a Ricky Stuart word

Oh the grammar police .

[Waylander]

Oh the grammar police .

Actually, that’s spelling, not grammar.

Never mind.

[rented tracksuit]

imo every point is crucial.

Exactly. There were 8 sides in round one who thought it was important. We weren’t one of them.

[rented tracksuit]

Ask any player from any club which they would rather lose..round one to a newly established team or A GRAND FINAL with half the world watching...

We were owned by a side in their first match who won’t see a GF for quite a while. That’s embarrassing.

You were that little dorky kid at school weren't you

As irrelevant as missing a spot in the eight by 2 points. These ‘on paper’easy wins should count.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

There's no sugar-coating it. The Roosters were just diabolical and played with zero intensity. They probably thought at 6-0 it would be a cakewalk. Idiots!

If that rates as our darkest day in history to you, you can't have been a supporter for long

[roosterchook]

You're right there. I was around in 66' and we had the darkest year then.

The 66’ team played better than our team of overpaid, overhyped ‘super-fumblers’.

[Waylander]

At least I went.
