Round 18 v Roosters

[Number of the Beath]

If I was the coach, Eisenhuth, BMM, Lawrie, Sloan & Hunt would all be shaking hands with the NSW Cup coach on Monday.
Not. Good. Enough.

Lomax can go to FB, Finau to his wing, Flanno to 1/2, Egan to lock.
God only knows who plays 5/8, but I'd rather play with 12 men than suffer another 80 minutes of (C)Hunt.

 

[carltonsouth79]

Well, we aren’t in their league. Definite premiership looming for the Rorters

 

[jeffdragon]

Hunt kicks on the first.
At least don't let them score and hold the ball for the final few minutes.

 

[justadragon]

Ok so Hunt will now tell us that it was his fault in the PC

50 + missed tackles….defence is worse than last year

What an absolute disgrace. How can a club like ours compete against the club who have the much better players. From Fullback to Lock they are just too strong. I say what a disgrace because it just shows how the comp can allow the Roosters to have all of those marquee players. If we cannot get anyone decent, it is just a waste of time I think. You can't win a comp with second rate players it is obvious. Flanno can try and instil pride and passion in the players but that doesn't win games. It is the quality of the players that win them and we just don't have them. Not one.

Nice way to end the game boys, need a good look in the mirror, got embarrassed again,

Honestly justa

I used to get embarrassed by the players but I am not sure so much with this group. There's quite a few players who give their best despite their own frailties. Hunt is embarrassing when you weigh it all up. It's embarrassing that we are losing Zac at his peak but most embarrassing of all is the club staff who can't get deals done with quality players which is what we knew we needed before we ran out there today. With management like ours we will just continue to get results like this against better teams with something to play for. More than 50% of our problem is just not having enough quality.

[sammymills]

Just plan embarassing. Every set the roosters have their seem to go 80 m. How many of our sets Do we make 30 m or less? Absolute joke

 

[carltonsouth79]

Flanno said pre game that this test will tell us where we are, the answer is clear; we are on a road to nowhere this season. Desperately need some new players.

 

[Nanadragon]

Don't deserve to be in the 8. We can't match it with the big boys anyway. Very disappointing.

 

[DeathBlooms]

Season is well and truly gone now. We could of lost but needed it to be closed. Our F/G is the worst out of any side so we have no chance of making the 8 now.

 

[DeathBlooms]

Letting in 4 of the softest trys in 10minute peroid is pathetic and Flanno needs to set an example cause players aren't listening.

 

[carltonsouth79]

I expect so and there will be head nodding and “we have to be better” platitudes and the same side will run out next week. We just don’t have the cattle this year. Also pondering Youngy‘s effectiveness as a defensive coach.

 

[Number of the Beath]

From 12-14 to 12-42 in about 20 minutes.
That is the very definition of gutless in my book.

Cowboys had same issues under him only difference was they could score points that hid the issues bit better.

 

[Dragonsdiehard]

Yep - Roosters play on an entirely different level and tempo than us mudplodders. They clearly wanted it more (again) and we didn't want it enough (again). Looks like we learned nothing from the Anzac Day thumping. But everyone gets paid all the same .... maybe I'm asking too much to expect we can learn from past experience.

You cannot be real with that comment. How ridiculous. We were outclassed by a better side Yes and we need more in attack to beat / compete with the best sides but your statement is so far from reality

 

[justadragon]

Well I guess there is more of this with what is coming up in the next weeks, our F/A is about to get a real pasting

Went from -30 to -60 in 20mins. Season gone.
