Round 8 vs Roosters

[baggygreen man]

We had our moments but the Chooks were hungrier. Is hard to claw back momentum

 

[Tomaraque]

I'd take Lawrie over Luc every day of the week. One decent pass a game, he just isn't worth it. Over paid and over weight.

Yep. Luc is my least favourite player and has been for a long time. Not fit enough and seems to be blowing air hard after minor excertion. I think he has potential but that will always be said about him cause he just looks lazy and self entitled to me.

 

[Sloan Ranger]

LPT must be getting close. I like Couchman, he'll have a long NRL carreer, but a starting NRL prop? Prop heart in a small back rower body.

 

[RedVDave]

At least we can still win the comp.

 

[I'm Hornby]

10 to go we have scored 2 trys, one a runaway try from a drop ball, and one against 12 players, havent looked like again

Hope @Crush doesn't see this post as he likes to claim our attack is so DANGEROUS

 

[St Tangles]

What a poor performance

Your last sentence is 100%. Corey Norman of the forward pack.

60 -18 in 2024

46- 18 in 2025


Flanno is right. We are improving!!

Yes and only took until round 8 to concede more than 30 where as last year it was round 2 or 3 wasn't it?

 

[Dragonsdiehard]

I'm really starting to hate this match day.... every year, we manage somehow to get our pants pulled down. Where are our game managers? we're always getting managed!

We are fked, he is part to blame aswell. Can't wait until Issac cockskr Moses starts demanding an instant resigning for a million a year or some bullshit. It's the board who helps appoint and agree on a coaching staff who report to said board and don't have to fall on a sword. Pissweak from head coach down to the ball boy honestly this is beyond pathetic now. If you can't get up for Anzac day then do the fans and the game a favour and piss right off. Disgraceful effort I am absolutely pissed

Fair summary.

 

[John moz]

Embarrassing again 2 years under Flanno and Young 60 last year 46 this year .

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

I dunno what to think. I don't feel disappointed, because I fully expected something like this would happen. Whenever it's a big occasion game, we play like shite. When it's a game where there's no real expectations, we go OK. I imagine it will be like that for the rest of the season. Don't see us making the eight unless something drastic happens.

 

[InFlannoWeTrust]

Whoever is saying Suli is getting replaced next week! He won’t! Finau is our 3rd best winger (which was evident today) so who else are we bringing in? Allen? Has anyone watched cup? Not lighting the world!!

IF anyone. Ramsey to be upgraded and brought on the wing for finau.

WE HAVE ZERO GO FORWARD!!! That’s the difference! Look at Spencer! 9 runs 114m from 35 mins! Something our forwards CANNOT DO!!
Our halves are f**ked and just don’t have the depth in forward

Egan went off injured (let’s hope nothing serious) but another f**ked performance

 

[Hound of Dracula]

Geeez, All f**king day I've been looking forward to the game
So much anticipation - had to have a nana nap before the game
But - I was confident of a decent showing

How deflating

Receiving RUOK text messages LOL

I'm now off to my mates place (Roosters supporter) to play pool

I'm going to f**ken flog him!

 

[RedVDave]

We just aren't up for the big games every time it's a full house we lose. Watch us get touched up by the Tigpies next week.

 

[KingFlanno7]

If Flanno comes out and trys to coddle the playing group by making excuses for the piss poor effort on ANZAC day for fks sake, he has to go. That type of effort is inexcusable on a normal day let alone ANZAC day. Did these pricks get on the piss all week and play pokies all night because they sure didn't look focused on a win, pretenders.

 

[Sloan Ranger]

At least we can still win the comp.

Never in doubt. Just got better odds.

Flanagan's problem will be when he will continue to refuse to drop his son. I've always feared this will be his undoing but I think we are fast approaching the time when we need one or two changes to the halves. The tides will turn quickly if we continue to be embarrassed in big games.

Smith and Walker score 50 pints on their own in the last two corresponding games. Ours halves never really looked threatening and I know the old chestnut will come out about the forwards not laying the platform but the truth is:

These are the halves Shane has picked
These are the forwards Shane has picked.

 

[possm]

And replace them with who?

Maybe recruit DCE and put Atkinson at 6 for 2056.

For 2025, maybe we could try:

1. Ramsey
2. Sloan
3. Flannagan
4 Holmes
5. Lawson
6. Gutherson
7. Glover
8. Coachman
9. Liddle
10. Klemmer
11. Suli
12. Su'A
13. Debelin

14. Cook
15. Leilua
16. Stewart
17. Eagan


Our pack is still missing a couple of good props. If we can't sign any for this year, put Leilua in the middle, Suili as edge forward and Ramsey wither at fullback or left center.

We have to make changes because what we are doing isn't working.
