Can't believe Rooster fans are boasting about last nights win that it was heaps good...

Penrith had Priddis, Bateman and Jennings gone...2 after 20 minutes, 1 after 45...had Civo backing up after playing 65 in origin and had to play the whole game pretty much and also had Puletua with a pectoral injury which are bloody painful and I was shocked he came back on the field...So basically...12 guys...and you could only really put us away in the last 10 minutes.

If we were playing Melbourne or someone clinical..it would have been 50...TBH I'm proud of my guys that showed more guts than they have in 2-3 years last night. With the amount of defence they had to do and the injuries...noone would have got close to winning last night.

What forum are you reading? The general mood amongst Roosters fans are that it was an average performance but we're happy with a couple of players' efforts. We're also glad to take the two points. Who wouldn't be"

Why you upset Moffo? they've been doing it for yonks, unfortunately because they are the league fave everyone turns a blind eye to what their doing there is always one who slips under the radar un-noticed

I thought the new clubs were their favorites. You know, help justify the NRL's expansion policy.

Copping it from your mates is like catching a virus Mick. It'll make you tougher.

What the hell are you smoking and where can I get some?
Seriously.

I havent seen anyone boasting about the win yet.

Penrith had Priddis, Bateman and Jennings gone...2 after 20 minutes, 1 after 45...

Yes, and that was definatly not easy on the Panthers. I feel sorry for them in this regard. I am actually a fan of Priddis and would hate to see him sidelined due to injury.

had Civo backing up after playing 65 in origin and had to play the whole game pretty much

This is a non-argument. We had Tupou, Myles, Mason & Fitzgibbon backing up. Mason still played 70 minutes of Football and Fitzgibbon lasted the entire 80.

and you could only really put us away in the last 10 minutes.

Half-Time: Roosters Leading 16 - 12.
Second Half:
Try Braith Anasta: 50m
Try Brent Grose: 56m
Try Shaun Kenny-Dowall: 75m

One try in the last 10 minutes. The game was won in the 56 minute.

If we were playing Melbourne or someone clinical..it would have been 50...

The Roosters played far from their best and I do agree they should have won by alot more. The Panthers did dig deep and I do believe based on the circumstances - they did play as best as they could.

mate...not saying you didn't play well...you were the much better team. But yeah I was just saying I was proud of my boys for their effort to dig as deep as they did.

HAHA yeah I know...but it was like 14 on 1 hahaha. Although they did shut up when I mentioned 2003. that was the only time I felt I outnumbered them hahaha.

Yeah I apologise if I came across a bit arrogant.

It's not easy being a Roosters Fan.. let alone a Roosters Fan in Brisbane. :lol:

Like I said though.. your boys played as best as they could given the circumstances I think.
