^ I agree with that, but it seemed like every time they did make good territory the halves (namely Hastings since he seemed to have most of the kicking duties) would put in a dumb kick to give it straight back to them.

 

[Rabbits20]

Chook fans as a fan base have to lower our expectations after the last 3 years. Gonna be plenty of shit before the side gets enough experience in key positions.

Plenty of sides won't use lube on us this year. :shock:

Well look at Souths.

Top 4 2012
Top 4 2013
Top 4 2014 and Premiership
7th in 2015

Started well in 2016


Souths fans aren't lowering expectations.

Your experienced guys need to aim up.

Fergo has got nothing and neither does Tupou.

Friend needs to stop making errors. Guerra and Aubusson are not aiming up. Napa is ildisciplined and needs to learn to hold the ball.

Really it's only SKD that's leading the way.

Souths have brought young guys up and the senior guys help them out.

There shouldn't be any excuses for the Roosters.

The Rorters culture is not good at all. The attitude is poor.

Take GI, Goodwin, Keary, Reynolds, Sam and Surton out of Souths and how do you think you'd be travelling.

We lost too much quality to stay at our level of the last 3 seasons. Anyone who doesn't realise that doesn't know shot about football.

Same could be said for our retention decisions tho.

 

[Rabbits20]

That's not how you spell 'Tedesco'.

That ain't how you spell Dugan;-)

 

[Rabbits20]

Gee Jake Friend looks unfit. Roosters must have had a hell of a fun off season

Correct.

 

[Rabbits20]

Ferguson, Friend, Hastings + couple of the forwards all look slow and out of shape.

That's as they just got on the drink and didn't give a toss.

Lol@Rorters:lol:

I don't agree with him either. We all know Souths record without GI, and it ain't pretty. Same probably with Reynolds.

The Roosters just lost both of their halves from 2015, their best forward JWH, a long time veteran in Jennings and a Kiwi International in RTS...no excuses my ass. Of course it's going to take time for their team to gel with that kind of player movement.

We already have no Reyno, Sutton, Musgrove, Tom Burgess. We lost D. Walker too.

No excuses. Robinson had all off season to plan for life without RTS.

The point is all teams get I juries and lose players after success.

Your senior guys aren't stepping up. That's a big problem.

Being on the drink in the off season doesn't help.

Your mob don't look fit and look disinterested. That's not good signs.


So you mustn't be happy with Rorters recruitment?????

Souths have recruited quite smartly and THE SENIOR GUYS HELP THE YOUNGER GUYS.

Nothing you say will ruin my mood:lol:

The lack of effort overall is disappointing but our 1,6 and 7 were all in the 20's last season. Our left edge from last year only has Tupou in tact, no Jenko, no Maloney and no Cordner. Of course we are going to struggle.

We really should've told the organisers of the WCC thing to piss off and stayed here in Oz preparing for a massive transitional year.

 

[Tenacious Titans]

@Rabbits20 ^ So remind me when your team gets flogged the next time GI or A Rey isn't playing. No excuses!

GI is a greater loss than RTS.

GI is in a different class.

We are without Reyno, Tom, Sutto and Musgrove. They are big losses.

We have no D. Walker or McQueen either. Plus we lost Issac Luke.

I'm a truth teller:lol:

 

[THE CHAMP]

People rave on about that Yvonne Sampson (is that her name?). Butterfaced piece of rubbish.

Give me Erin Molan anytime for a roll in the hay.

Ahh you're into the tranny look.
No surprise there

 

[Snappy]

How on earth are Souffs going to cope without Musgrove ? They're done

What was souffs excuse the back end of last year when they got flogged game after game

You still f**king that old scraggy manager with glasses from The Queenslander?

What I don't get is that if you are going to be in a transitional year, surely it is better to keep Maloney and pay him what he wants. He would be invaluable right now. There is just too much class missing in the backline. Clear as day Mitchell needs time, probably a stint in the U20's would do him the world of good. He's not ready.

We had no sam burgess and our forward pack was dominated the same way the roosters pack have been in the opening 3 rounds (in jwh and Cordners abscence )

 

[tomdl]

I wouldn't say Coote is underrated but is he one of the most overlooked players in the comp at the moment? Easily top 5 fullback in the comp and his short kicking game is incredible yet we barely hear any talk about him outside of game time. He was my MOTM tonight solely based on his first half.

 

[THE CHAMP]

A lot of excuses in here from chook fans.
It was 40 - 0 ffs.
