Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[rented tracksuit]

On a positive, the Riff did the Faiders dry and they havnt lost a game since. Could it happen to us?

[rooster till i die]

Im with ya. Need something drastic to happen to get Robbo to see the light

Not sure if Walker would have made a big difference!!

[Keith]

Why can’t we just organise our attacking 5th tackle options?
it’s not that hard.
Where is Keary ?

[Lydon]

Manu and sualli on that edge are just awful, manu has to go back to center and sualli back onto his wing,That will be a good start imo

Now that Walker is injured the only 6 available is Drew Aubusson

[Fairfax]

Outside backs are weak. Teddy has no direction. This could get uglier.

[Roostermania]

They aren’t trying. Purposely running dead.
There is obviously a massive cancer in the club. I don’t know if it’s the coach or players but something is very wrong.

The more I think about it I believe Fitzy was thr glue behind the scenes. I love Trent and what he has done for this club but his support coaches maybe a weakness especially when there is talk of Ryles leaving!!

This year reminds me of 2016 when Pearce stuffed up, similar to Crichton and everything goes to crap.
Need a major cleanout and give some of the young players a go.
Our season is gone.

yet there is no defining pre season moment to blame it on . it just seems to have been a slow unrolling of a dreadful rug, a winger who wants out, a centre out of position, a slightly past it half, a lack of a kicking game, a gun fullback out of ideas, a 13 unfairly targeted by refs, a popgun second row...are we just to old, thats how it looks to me

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

The combination of Keary getting older, and Joey not being in any way a 5/8, totally farks us.

[Lydon]

Just quietly ,what has happened to Teddy?

Nowhere near the offensive player he once was

[RoosterFanNZ]

im glad that the half time break worked...

[Tommy Smith]

The combination of Keary getting older, and Joey not being in any way a 5/8, totally farks us.

Agreed.

Which makes the decision to drop Walker inexplicable.

Sammy has a great short kicking game and gave us options on our last tackle in attack where as our best option atm appears to be Matt Lodge or flicking it backwards 2 or 3 times to lose 30m.

[RoosterFanNZ]

Just quietly ,hat has happened to Teddy?

Nowhere near the offensive player he once was

I was watching some old highlights from 18/19. he used to run so straight back then as soon as he gets the ball now hes obsessed with stepping sideways

[Grant Hedger]

Billy Smith is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen - and we’ve got some bad players.

[Lydon]

Wow Lodge has been impressive
