We had 10 out and 2 debutants on the day and seven first year players in total out there.

This was the expected result.
lol that’s at least half the comp this year, and I said crucial outs. Tigers were missing their first choice spine and have a much less experienced side than the Roosters as it was. Let them have their win. They won because they showed up with a way better attitude than the Roosters who for some reason think they’re a good enough outfit to go into a game arrogant.

No its not. Not every team gets forced to play 3 times without Origin players and on this occasion there was 5 injuries to go with it. Those are just facts

10 out of the first choice 17 and none are crucial lol

And who is saying the Tigers didn't deserve their win? Your narrative that the battlers beat a way better team on paper is completely incorrect

You’re right; the Rooster had over $15m of their $14m salary cap on the sidelines or in Origin camp, leaving them only $11m of talent to pick from.

Mate we had 10 out, it's a fact.

We had 2 debutants... another fact

That totals 8 debutants this year.. yet another fact

The draw compelled us to play 3 times without Origin players when other clubs like Penrith only had to do it once. Another fact

We won 2 of those 3 games... you guessed it.. another fact.

You needed the officials help to get home against us and we were missing more players than you were.

There's arguably no-one on here that dislikes the Roosters more than me, but you cannot argue that they haven't been one of the most injury-affected sides in the NRL this year.

The fact they're 7 and 8 with absolute nuffies (with all due respect) in the spine for most of the year is probably Robbos best coaching achievement, as it's the first time he hasn't been carried by a bunch of superstars.

They're still not a good side, but they should be bottom 4 with some of the lineups they've ditched out, as much as it pains me to write that.
