Roosters are Ordinary!

[dragonssamy61]

Ahh the Illawarra socks, the perennial April premiers. I'll be laughing on ANZAC day to see the Roosters put in their best performance of the year to give your April premiers a touch up. Nothing surer.

Piss off cockburn.

im worried about our attack faltering. I mean how can a team go from not scoring from the 10 m line to absolute scoring at will in a few months??????? It takes at least a few matches for the new players to gel into any team. WTF

You think it may have something to do with having a genuine halfback and not some plodder with number 7 accidentally sewn onto his jumper?

The one thing I really liked about the Bulldogs and Roosters game, was how out on their feet / exhausted they were at the end.
Hope this works against the Roosters on Anzac Day.

As long as the Warriors don’t leave us the same way. It’s a shame the Doggies couldn’t get it to golden point for us

Wether you win pretty or win ugly the point is you still win and get the 2 points.
This was the Roosters yesterday, ordinary, yes but they still got the 2 points.
They are sitting 5th on ladder 1 game behind the Warriors (when we beat them today) far from ordinary. With 17 rounds to go they will click, lets hope thats not anytime soon.
Ordinary would best describe the Dogs IMO.

What I found most interesting was Robinson's comments in the post match presser regarding how pleased he was that his team kept them to nil....despite have to defend 52 tackles from within their 20.

While ordinarily that would be a huge feat, the bulldogs had absolutely nothing in the way of attack. They were woeful. Worse than our 2016 efforts by far. Despite actually getting over the line a couple of times.

So while the Rooters defended ok, I'm not sure it'll be enough for our renewed creativity. Definitely took a lot out of them too. Might hurt them with the short turnaround.

All that being said....we are yet to play our game.

There's not exactly stiff competition for this title from the roosters opening games.

Personally I think these type of thread titles are unnecessary. All it does is invite trolls and @ the end of the day, no game is a given win. Lets just take things a week @ a time and not get ahead of ourselves. That being said, love your enthusiasm Mickeylane.

That would’ve been nice. But getting them to make 440 tackles is pretty handy.

Congratulations for the post of the year.
We've have taken your name & photo details and screen printed them onto your very own T-shirt.

After watching Roosters tonight and last week they seriously are a shit, soulless and directionless team..

Sorry mickeylane, I doubt that Penrith will make the GF. Even though they aren't travelling so well right now, I'd select two out of Dragons, Storm and Broncos.

Bronco's are zero chance of making this year's grand final. Souths are a much better chance of making this year's GF than Brisbane, so are Penrith, Easts, Melbourne and us.

It’s April!

I wouldn't call Latrell Mitchell rubbish. Euan Aitken will do well to contain him.

Mitchell will do well to contain Aitken

Maybe Agar the new pommy coach has had something to do with our improved attack. The improvement is out of sight this year and Mary seems to be a lot less nervous because of it. Let's hope our fitness staff have learned from last season and prepared a program to keep our forwards free of fatigue.

Nothing has changed except the roster.
The reason our attack looks so good is because of Ben Hunt. Do you remember Josh McCrone? He wasn't first grade material let alone a starting halfback. Because he was do ordinary it put all the pressure on Widdop and that ruined our attack. Now we have a halfback and an in form widdop.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COACHES OR COACHING. Its all about the roster.

All true.

Add having Dufty at fullback, instead of Dugan too. I also think Simms in an upgrade on Thompson too.

100%

3 key members of our spine have been added in the last 1-2 years. Suddenly we can score points.

McInnes has replaced Rein
Dufty has replaced Dugan
Hunt has replaced McCrone/Benji

Our old spine had the combined creativity of a spud with half the intelligence.

Chalk and cheese. What a relief to finally have a footy team with you know.....footy players.

Not even Mary can make this team look bad.
