Would you just piss the f' off. You have been peddling that crap all over the place this week. What are your sources? Tomato and BBQ. I'm sick of internet heroes like you who think you have "the inside oil" when 99 times out of 100 the only oil you have is castor.

Kenny-Dowell doesn't throw that pass and it would have been a different game. We are down to three Queensland teams now. Oh, and by the way, I thought the Dragons were the 'chokers'.

That's the stupid logic I question, if the drags were the roosters last night, no one would hesitate to call them chokers. Kenny Dowall threw that pass because he choked under pressure. The Roosters didn't turn up to play because they choked. Broncos were very good but you made it too easy for them because you choked. Not even a minute had been played when he did that, you had the whole game left to fix it.

While I agree with you, I kinda see Drago's point re SKD's pass. It's like the Roosters were playing catch-up footy from the second minute of the game. A couple of older heads went missing and should've calmed the boys down and remind them that there was still 78 minutes left to play. Maybe that's where JWH would've been handy to have on the field.

Maybe your mate has an axe to grind. I've heard rumours of this kind around a lot clubs over the years with nothing coming to light. Supposedly rock-solid sources too.

That was my point. That pass brought the crowd right into the game and that motivated Brisbane. Easts knew they had to silence the crowd. Simply saying the team had 78 minutes to make up for that mistake is easier said than done.

No I'd be happy to be a roosters fan ATM they are going well but I think missed mini and sbw which brought good things to the team

Dragons used to be chokers but I think the new chokers are the doggieZ

2012 was their year they seemed to make gf easily and then bombed it also choked big time last year never looked like winning

poor performance plain and simply put no pressure at all on their 2 halves they may as well have played in dinner suits the amount of defence they had to do(not have to do)- missed more tackles than they made in any case- we scored two tries by running the ball - bronco's use that retreat slide defence and back their goal line defence- fergo went through quite easily for the two tries- we didnt do that again for the rest of the game- 16 to 12 down we were getting on top and Jakes poor pass from dummy half on 3rd tackle cruelled an opportunity going into half time- they had the ball for the last 4 minutes including a drop out which RTS i thought could have let it roll a bit more as it looked like going out- suppose the earlier one had him in two minds.

The SKD no try which i thought was a try seemed to knock us about and the errors came as we tried to play catchup- dont know why some of the forwards got in between the halves and the backs as they didnt look like wanting to pass the ball(hogged the ball in fact) - the ball needed to go to either fergo/jennings/rts more often and run the ball as per the 2 tries- Too many players played as individuals and not as a team going away from what has worked most of the season.- Pearce should not have played in hindsight with another forward included in the 17 instead.

With BBQ/RTS leaving Robbo will need to tweak the way we play our defence mostly has been sound but our attack needs to capatilise more on the abilities of the out sidebacks more and of course need better support play- perhaps they should look at video's of the 1974/5 side in the way they attacked and supported the ball carrier- that can work even in 2016 and beyond. Kicks to Toops/SKD are being well handled under the blocking tactics employed nowdays(legal or illegal)- i know goal kickers are better nowadays because of the practice they do and the footballs used compared to the leather football but i dont know why bombs are always directed to the wingers when an up and under near the posts/ in the ingoal area would be even more of a lottery- the old Johnny "Bomber" Peard type bombs.

It's still a good squad and young too- average age 24/5
