Round 2 v Roosters

[The Realist]

Well it was a total clusterf**k of an outing and it’s totally unacceptable by usual smuggy standards.

Even Chadster was running amok and he hasn’t played a decent game in 5 years.

You made Dom look like the camel at his peak. Shades of Franze in your backline.

An abomination.

The fall from grace was frightening.

No champagne post match saunas this week. No limo back to Mulgoa Rd.

All bets are are off after that monstrosity.

I love how you are one of several closet fans.

You are like a high school girl with a loser boyfriend - who pretends to hate the Football team captain, but secretly fingers herself dreaming about how she wants him to F her raw.

The player we missed the most last night was Luai. But not because of his kicking, playmaking or even running game. It's his defense.

He was easily the best defensive 5/8 in the league with us, he did so much clean up work it was really incredible. That and he was also very talkative. People often laud Edwards for his ability to organise our defense but Luai was nearly as instrumental on his edge.

In saying that I feel it's a bit harsh to single out Cole here. We had an entire edge that lacked experience in general and had virtually no 1st grade experience together in that configuration. That is more on Ivan than the players.

What I didn't like about that edge is that rather than bounce back from their errors, their heads dropped, and they continued to get worse.

To my friends and family at the game, I chalked that loss down to Vegas hangover, early season slow start, and the loss of our home ground but the Roosters were so underdone those excuses just don't cut it. The only positive about this game is getting a wake up call early on.

Yeah the Raiders, Warriors and Sharks well and truly debunked the “Vegas hangover” theory.

Look at how dry Comm bank is today. Would have loved that for Penrith on Friday night....

Ah well.

They played A-League soccer there yesterday too.

His defence was solid as.

Got pushed off effortlessly for their first try in about the 34th minute. If you call that solid.

Did you watch the game? Or just the highlights on Facebook as I suspect?
