  • Hoodoo time........

    We have to break a 60 year hoodoo to win the premiership this year.
    1960 Grand final loss
    1980 Grand final loss
    2000 Grand final loss
    2020 ????????????????

    Having pointed that out, after the display against Canberra and our first display against the Storm, which we should've won, I reckon we'll go all the way this year. I reckon we'll be too good for Penrith and Parra. My tip is a GF v Penrith and revenge for 03.

    The line it is drawn
    The curse it is cast
    The first one now
    Will later be last ...

    ... Bob Dylan said that. But he didn't know about the Roosters

      we've got form at breaking sequences

      62 - 63 st g b2b
      72- 73 manly b2b
      82 - 83 parra b2b
      92-93 brisbane b2b
      2002 premiers the roosters lose the 2003 gf

      but seriously i don't believe that sort of stuff plus there's a lot of footy to be played before we can even make the gf.

              At least that skinny little f****r Byrne won’t be there to lose it for us. I still hate that bloke.

                Interesting to read, but I take these things with a grain of salt. What will be will be, but geez I hope we can go all the way once again.

                Some people believe supporting the Roosters
                is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed
                with that attitude. I can assure you it is
                much, much more important than that.

                  Ray don’t forget 2010. But I think this team is special. We can break that hoodoo

                    1960
                    1980
                    2000
                    2010

                    Well at least we broke the hoodoo in 1970 and 1990

                    Funny how these stats have a way of repeating themselves down the years.

                    I am a Leeds United supporter and we got promoted this season back to the PL from the championship for the first time in nearly 20 years.
                    The last time we got promoted from the championship, Liverpool were the PL champions.
                    Guess who won the PL this year for the first time in many years? Yep...Liverpool.

                    p.s. (That 1980 GF was the first rugby league game I ever watched as a 12 year old kid and have loved the Roosters ever since)

                      it is funny when these sorts of stats bob up. i'm no mathematician but you'd figure it's not that mathematically freaky. you have a dozen teams playing a comp - one of them losing a gf every 20 years over a 40 year period in a 100 year comp is unlikely but probably more likely than me winning the lottery and someone somewhere wins a lottery every day.

                      does it mean that if we make the gf we will lose? count me down for a no. if you're gonna be superstitious you could say things happen in 3s and the loss in 2000 was the end of the hoodoo.

                      or maybe the only way of breaking the hoodoo is the chookpen nominating one of our own to be sacrificed under a full moon at the altar of the rugby league gods?

                        Funny! I’ve always thought Penrith were our hoodoo team, so if we play them in the GF it could be a perfect hoodoo storm!

                          The Panthers, Dogs, Cronulla & Central Coast Stadium take turns of being the Roosters bogey/hoodoo team/ground.

                            Hoodoos just like records are meant to be broken.
                            From 2010 till 2013 I hated seeing a half time score of 8-6. (I have OCD wirh numbers btw) Then 2013 we win the comp with a 8-6 halftime score. Again last year a 8-6 half time score.
                            The only difference between 2010 and 2013/2019 was we converted our goals. Has nothing to do with hoodoos. Take it from someone who stresses about the numbers - hoodoos don't matter just the stats.

                              don't make gurus of your hoodoos.
