Round 9 | Roosters 24-6 Knights @ Allianz | Sunday 3pm

[Wato]

Also where is the Darius of 2009~2011? We could do with one of him as well...

His there just playing behind a shit forward pack. Edwards,Hilder, Costigan and Fas should be sent to reserve grade until they starting making 100-150m games. Costigan made 24m today FFS.

 

[RABK]

Terrible. I won't be sad to see the back of some of these guys at the end of the year. Forwards absolutely monstered yet again. Bennett needs to hit the player market hard if he wants a top 8 finish let alone a premiership in his stint here.

 

[RABK]

Hopefully Taia, Edwards and Faas are sent packing at the end of the year. No side will ever win a premiership carrying such lazy liabilities in their forward pack.

Cuthbertson, Hilder and Costigan would be joining them if they were off contract.

Scott ain't enough. Hopefully we are after Bird as well. I'd be making a play for Wade Graham - i think he's been fantastic for the sharks since switching to the backrow. Pulls out huge stats and is a great ball player.

As for props - i dunno who is really on the market. Our forward pack is shit but. Mason has shown what a good forward is, we need to fill our pack with the likes of him.

 

[slotmachine]

Ritchie made 2 runs in the first 20 minutes.

Lazy.

Russel Packer is off contract I believe. Would be a great pick up and George Burgess is off contract this year as well.

Did Uate even play - if ever there has been a dissapointment this year it's HIM - I know he's a winger and all but fair dinkum he is a GHOST this year - hope he don't even get picked for origin cause his form sure dont rate it. - and DONT get me started on some of the other shit we have - and NO - this is NOT an OVEREACTION - WE f**kING SUCK !

Wow either massive over reaction or you have never watched league before. Wingers and fullbacks can't score or set up trys from there own end there only ever as good as there forward pack. Uate last year was freakish scoring at will but you can't expect him and Boyd to do that behind this embarrassment of a forward pack.

 

[The Showstopper]

Wayne may have made his mind up on the definite no re-signs for 2013. Houston is still a 50/50 to stay. These forwards are not worthy of Wayne's mentoring. Utterly soft and predictable.

Yep - enough said - wingers cant score blah blah blah - you do spell well for a kindergarten kid though - now go and wash your hands for tea little one..

:lol: what do you expect him to do without the ball?

I don't buy into this rubbish about making excuses for Boyd tbh, he has been very very ordinary, especially if you consider the $$$ we're probably paying him.

don't get me wrong - I don't think he is costing games or anything (you could argue he's costing us some missed opportunities, but who isn't?) but he's adding very, very little.

 

[adamkungl]

Credit to your boys defense in the first half considering the posession we had.

 

[Fieldsguy]

Credit to your boys defense in the first half considering the posession we had.

But it was shocking in the 2nd half.

Boyd made Haynes defence the other night look good.

He just stood there and put his arms forward twice when the Roosters scored, pathetic attempts.

 

[Yosh]

Mason looks a class above our other forwards. Snowden has slowed down but with some help i still think he'll be great for us.

We need some Boyd Cordner back in Newcastle.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Why on earth, when Tahu was so devastating last week did we not put on a few backline movements and give him some space. We tried to run up the middle all day and got absolutely dominated.

We are a terrible excuse of a football team. Will be lucky to finish above 12th.

Mason was our best forward today. There is no substitute for size and we need some more of it.

 

[Alex28]

It might be just me... But do we look like a worse team than last year? I know we are missing Kurt and Bedsy, but we have not looked outstanding at any point this year, and we were deadset awful today.

There are a number of players out there phoning it in. None of them deserve Origin selection - not even Aku. The master coach isn't having much effect on them and it is worrying...

 

[The Showstopper]

Maybe we should go back to our expansive game. Too much defence emphasis in off season i think. If we move the ball more we may ignite a little. Boyd is an enigma.

Picking on spelling mistakes obvious trait of a man confident in his argument. If you know of wingers of can score from anywhere on the park at will feel free to give the club a call but considering Uate is regarded as the best in his position I think you will find they are more then happy with him. :lol:

Not just you, I dont think I have felt happy about any game this year. Even our wins have been very ugly. We are just awful to watch play, we are boring.

 

[Alex28]

The decision to put a second rower who is in all reality just a hard worker and not much more into the hooker role today is disgraceful. Whoever came up with that - and I'd suggest it was Bennett - needs as big a kick up the arse as anybody today.

Go looking for the f**king thing - remember when he was like another forward last year working the ball out from our own end - BENNETT has shut that down or he aint interested in doing it - TOTAL dissapointment so far this year - in MY opinion ofcourse Ape -
