yeah true, I don’t know I just see a lot of concerning stuff with them. I mean who from today can still get better? Sualli? The guy who’s leaving? 90% of their team has reached their potential and the majority aren’t as good as they were 2-3 years ago. Won 1 semi in 4 years which was against the titans by 2 points.
Again, I would preface this by saying to ignore today's game in terms of how the roosters shape up this year, weird things happen on ANZAC Day.
In answer to your question, everyone can improve, especially in defence. Edge defence has been the Achilles heel and needs to be worked on as a priority.
This year the competition has tightened drastically. We won't be missing the 8 and I will be surprised if we don't finish top 4. There is no obvious premier this year and we are one if the teams that can get the job done if we hit our stride at the right time but there is a lot of work to do.
As I mentioned in this thread before the game, I would say the media furore against us this week was a massive overreaction. Yes we can and need to be better but at the end of the day our 3 losses are round 1 against dolphins and then two away games against storm and sharks. Meanwhile storm have lost to dogs, titans and manly, the grand finalists are well off the pace and the home prelim finalists are in a state of emergency.
