Different Expectations Says it all

At the start of the year Roosters stated that by recruiting Cronk they wouldnt take anything less than a grand final appearance this year!

Our mob with the recruitment of Hunt and Graham were happy to be a top 4 team....

Difference between teams that want to be champions and teams just happy being perceived to be successful!!

I keep saying achieving a championship mindset is a mental state - we are still happy just being a top 4 team!

Dont hate the Roosters - admire them and their management!

We didnt achieve a top 4 spot mate.

We barely made the 8. Thus the disappointment as we saw what can happen in the playoffs. One free hit and who knows, but we bottled it again mid season. That comes down to Mary.

I didnt think we could win the comp, even with Hunt and Graham. I did think after our start we would end up top 4 as a cert.

So even 2 gutsy efforts in the semi's amount to zip, as we never should have been playing "elimination" games...

Dont care about the Chooks mate. Care about our repeated capitulation year in year out.

I agree they are setting real goals
The trouble us that many in this place were more than happy for top 8 and anything else was a bonus
For those that said the bar should be set higher all there was, was push back and a host of arguments that improvement should be applauded regardless of how infentisimal it was.
For many the notion of what might have been only comes after the horse has well and truly bolted and the final insult for those that harbour thoughts of the highest achievement is Mc Fookknuckle comes out with “best year since 2011”
Finally it should not be lost on anyone that people are already pinning their next season’s hopes on an untried winger from a feeder club but because he is Fijian he will be a winner.
Only a complete clean out of the clubs decision makers and coaching staff will see us ever be a real threat ever again.

This hole thread is rubbish.. A really bad read!

Saints have been in a hole since Bennett left. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a way out of it with the status quo in charge.

And a more sobering thought is that WIN Corp’s involvement won’t make a lickin’ difference.

Let’s hope that turns out to be incorrect.

It is truly frustrating to see that a coach who knows how to could get us there or very close ...

When Bennett was singed by SGI the expectation was made very clear 'to gain a premiership within 3 years' and Bennett and the football squad achieved this.

We cold again expect and realize the expectation of winning the competition next year by simply sacking Mary and hiring a top grade coach. With that and the usual squad adjustments, we could again have expectations of challenging for a spot in the 2019 GF.

So, simply sack Mary hire a good coach and we are on our way to success again.

Buying the best players must helps with your mental approach.

Insert Brett Morris, Ryan Hall and Crichton to the Roosters side and It wouldn’t matter who was driving, nor would it matter any conversations of mediocrity, none of this would make any difference, you just know unless you get a flat tyre or something unexpected happens your Ferrari is gunna be one of the front runners

I'd love to hear why you believe Mary is an excellent coach. Even our inept Board members indicated he was a work in progress and in their opinion would one day be a good coach. Just the same let us all know why you think he is a good coach.

Mickey, money talks.
The RoRteRs are RoRters.

Any team spending 50% over the cap is going to do well.
Look at the Purple cheaters stripped of their premierships.
When you spend a million more, of course you are going to do well

I don't admire them, they are cheats. Sure, it's TPA money, but it's organised by Politis, plus his paper bags he throws in.

By the way, they came last in 2009, and was it last year or the year before they came 2nd or 3rd last because they had a few injuries.

They are is souless RoRters.
Pewwk!!

Hate storm, but hope they put the cleaners through Politis's mob.

How many comps have RoRters won in the past 20 yrs?
Two? Have to check, but it's not as if it's 5 or so.

Is the Board aware of this? Perhaps you should tell them in writing?

Mate, you have no credibility. Half way through the season you were singing Mary's praises from the rooftops. And mocking those with much better judgment on his real abilities and team goals. Indeed, you made the point that every club was 'chasing' the premiership.

Give it a few weeks into the new season and you'll be back on Mary's bandwagon, celebrating an extension to his contract.

Please, spare us.
