Just unlucky? C'mon.
I reckon we would have been able to throw more at them on a dry track. The wet pitch played to their strength and our weakness.

lol come on bro. The speed they were playing at and our lack of intensity would have lead to a 70 point loss on a dry track.:crazy:
While we sit here admiring they're pack, the scary thing us they got absolutely steamrolled in round 1
Pretty accurate, what get's me is how Toutai and Semi escape criticism over their horrible defensive reads? They catapult out of the line everytime and come in, leaving a huge gap out wide and any smart team who plays us will know just to throw it wide to their winger.

Dry pitch?
100% spot on, our culture is terrible. Has been for a long time and if you give this lot a chance to lay down they will. The young guys are the ones always having a dig it is the older more experienced guys who are happy to take short cuts. Massive lack of leadership at the club.I'm sure Willie Tonga would have done much more damage on a dry pitch then Michael Jennings.
Honestly the Roosters had 9 days to prepare for us off a loss. We had 6 days , lost Peats and I honestly couldn't see us getting up to play again so soon with the mentality we've had the past few seasons. If you give most of the guys in our team an excuse to lose, they'll take it with both hands. We don't have that culture that accepts no excuses or finds a way to compete on every play. It's gonna take time and an injection of players from successful clubs. As well as a coach prepared to gut it out and not a weak dog who runs when the enormity of the job hits them.
He came on near the end and made a decent run or two from very limited opportunities. Not sure why this kid is getting more of a run. Maybe they are bring him back slowly??so did Tanginoa not play at all? .... I don't recall seeing him or I may have got so disinterested towards the end that I simply missed him
I had about 28 beers last night. All I remember is the Roosters scoring an effload of tries in the second half.

Less points are usually scored when it's wet.
The score could have been anything in the dry.
