Don't try and rewrite history. This isn't Trump's America. This is reality.

That was one of the greatest wins of all time. Roosters deserve every bit of praise possible.
They played better than anyone could have predicted. If I were a Rooster fan I'd be bursting with pride.

But let's not engage in pravda, we were abominable.

A premiership team doesn't concede 38 points to a team expected to miss the 8. The Roosters are one of my most hated teams (the streak over them really meant something to me!) and to lose them when they are supposed to be at their lowest ebb is completely unacceptable.
Based on that performance we'll struggle to even make the 8. Hopefully it's just early season rust and Vegas hangover.


Mike it is round 2. We move onto to next week.

Yes the defence was horrible. That will be addressed I'm sure.

I just figure the dynasty has to end sometime. Losing the troops we’ve lost and our home ground might be a bridge too far this season. It happens.

Alamoti was probably our best and even he made a heap of mistakes.

If.....IF we are going to keep this new deeper sweeping attack then Laurie is a better fullback than Dylan for us in 2025. I know that sounds crazy but it's a fact. We haven't played that deep and used our number 1 like that since prime Matty Moylan.

They completely out enthused us, played to the conditions, and executed their gameplay perfectly.

We were horrendous in every aspect of the game. Our worst game in 6 seasons.

Very disappointing.

Stuff the Roosters I will never say a kind word about that club, I can't stand the Roosters or Freddy ever since he went there in '96...
We just didn't turn up at all today, just turned up expecting to win at half pace. Should never have left our proper home ground. Penrith Stadium was like a guaranteed 9 or 10 wins in recent seasons. We're sacrificing our chance to win 5 in a row for the sake of a bloody ground rebuild.

Alamoti had a mare in defence

No one predicted this. Not even Roosters fans.

That was a sensational win. One of the of all time. David vs Goliath.

No ome??

I didmt think wed lose but i thought iyd be very close.

We always start the year slow.

Im not suprised..not concerned either.

Most worrying thing is dyl injured

Start the year slow?

2020, 2021 and 2022 if you add the first ten rounds it was something like 28/30 including a draw.

Revisionist history.

We have loses like this most years

Were lu fans say well win by 50 amd we lose.

Im 100% confident well turn it round next week..

Dyl looks like he may be out 6-8 weeks id think which is not good.

Only positive in that is blaize might get a crack at 14.

Heads up guys.

Lost a basically unlosable game according to betting odds. Cole is terrible as well and a real handbrake. We may as well give Talagi a run at 5/8 or even Laurie a go there but Laurie will probably need to be fullback now if Dyl is out. Good luck to us against the Storm because we sure will need it.

We play our best footy in the back half of the year.

Thats been proven the last 3 years.

The boys regularly come off short pre seasons and we take a while to warm up amd attack to click

Nothing worked tonight.

If your hitting the panic button after 5 years of dominance from one bad game then give yourself an uppercut.

I wasnt one saying wed win by 50 like 95% of others on here.

I wasnt confident all week. I did think wed win though so the loss hurts. But we will he fine.

Main thing is hopefully dyl is just a 2-3 week injury and not a 8 week+
