Eels coming for these Rooster hoes next week,beware bitches,we got dis

Roosters were appalling. Dogs pretty much as good as they can go. We should have won if Tupou holds the ball in the correct hand or they take the two. Lose by 1 when other teams playing as bad as we are would get hammered. Meh well be there come the business end

"Dogs pretty much as good as they can go"?

I'd argue we can do a lot better with better discipline and a better completion rate... We put 40 past a team with Cronk and Slater in it last week.

Regardless it was an outstanding game, both sides chanced their hand but our defence stood the test. Pearce should NOT be NSW half if his 2014 performances are anything to go by.

The Bulldogs won the penalty count 45-2 right?

The Roosters recipe for success.

1. SBW playing - check
2. Preferred referee in Shayne Hayne - check
3. Equal share of penalties and possession - check
4. Playing at home - check

Now… simply turn up and collect the 2 points, simple!

Ok, something must have gone wrong because the Roosters were supposed to win by plenty this week?

It's alright though because Robbo's last words in the presser were, "They're getting ready". For what… a third loss in a row?

Roosters won a penalty count :lol:

The Bulldogs won the game as they won the battle of the ruck. They legally slowed down the play the ball, which favoured their game style. The Roosters play the balls were too low, which enabled the Bulldogs to get their defensive line set. James Graham nas huge for the Bulldogs last night, he bent the defensive line with just about every run.

They won the game last night fair and square.

I think Roosters need to drop Mortimer and play Friend for 80. Their forwards are struggling to compete for a whole match at the moment and would benefit by having another on the bench

Jake is more effective when he does not play the full 80 minutes and Mortimer does add spark when he comes on. Last night Friend I believe made over 50 tackles. The Roosters though need 2 specialist front rowers on their bench at all times, as it was in the front rowers (i.e. props) who did the damage for the Bulldogs.
