Which one of you roosters fans is the guy who looks like Ozzy Osbourne sitting in bay 145 talking sh*t all pre game and started crying with 10 to go?

Just enjoy your win and be a humble winner.

This club has nothing to be disgraced about today. We did fantastic!

Our boys are all young and did exceptional this season.

St George fans, well done on your victory, now go back and enjoy your win, you waited a long time for the victory, don't bother stirring up crap:)

Very good point Roostergirl. I can handle my team getting beaten, but can't stand listening to fans gloat about it. For christs sake, one grand final win in countless attempts is hardly enough to shake a chokers tag!!

Listening to the dickheads who rub it in makes it easier to be humble in defeat. The majority of their fans I have come across have waited so long for their victory they are too busy lapping it up to care about giving us sh*t and the ones who are giving us sh*t are the ones who go MIA when the going gets tough.

But losing 4 since 2000 is a great way to gain one!! Not only did the Dragons belt you they also passed on the choker tag.

roosters were favourites at half time....against a team with a horrible from-behind record...massive, massive, massive choke...media had it in the bag for carney and roosters...poor things

The pressure is all on the Choker Chooks next year! They had all the momentum during the finals. All the claims of attacking flare and highlights reel...then they get held to nil in the second half?

Thats a big fall. Anasta had no impact. Carney had no impact. Mini had zero impact. The forward pack were nonexistent.

To rebuild after such a demolition is going to be hard. The eels choked the same way and then the next year they dropped away. This is going to haunt the roosters for a while.

For the sake of their fans i hope they can come back from this. My gut feeling is that, with melbourne back in the mix next year.... the roosters may miss the top 8. This was their golden opportunity. They couldnt hold their nerve to take it. A 2 point advantage at half time psyched them out as they knew and could feel the dragons were waiting for them to slip up. Braith said as much in an interview post match.

I`m a Parramatta supporter, but I`ve liked Easts ever since I was a little boy - I loved their colours. Best jersey in the competition. Would have loved Brian Smith to finally win one.
Saints should have gone into half-time scoreless (the touchy missing Morris going into touch was a dreadful error). If Carney got even one of those conversions, it would have been 10-nil at the break. Ah, that would have been a game!

the conversion for their first try where roosters KNOCKED ON? What if... in planting it down instead of sowards knee...it was on his head. Does that mean soward was trying to dislodge it using his head? No. That was a rubbish try but evened up the morris in touch decision.

What about the roosters knock on from our kick down field, judged as a knock back?

We can go through all the decisions and say what if. It comes down to...the roosters a) didnt lose by a couple of points b) they didnt fall behind in the first half as a result c) just played bad in the second half.

You cant negate the fact they were dominant but just couldnt convert their opportunities. They had every chance to win, and they froze. They didnt want it as much as their opposition.
