Said several times last year that anyone thinking Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was a defensive upgrade on Tomkins were kidding themselves.The Roosters defensive line saved Roger Tuivasa-Sheck a lot of work that Tomkins didn't have the luxry of avoiding.

Needs to get lower and just stop the player rather than flying up around the chest and getting bumped off. Apart from that he was very busy in attack and looking for work, but we're trying to attack like we did last year with Tomkins when Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is a completely different style of player.
 
Getting very sick of Losing :(
Better effort but still not good enough.
Few random thoughts
-Johnson needs the ball more
-Thought Kata stepped up
-Roger Tuivasa-Sheck looked to get more involved but how shit is his defense?
-Hoffman is just going backwards since becoming captain don't know if he deserves to be in the team ATM
-Bodenes a shining light
-Lolohea crumbles when he loses confidence
Absolutely agree with everything, especially on Hoffman, he should be dropped after his last two efforts, and Bodene is the man, he was good last year looks better now, i have a huge boner for him and Gavet!!!

Sheck worked well with the roos, playing off halves who run direct and attract defenders.

Shaun Johnson plays well floating around looking for holes..

I reckon Sheck could go alright ghosting Shaun Johnson and creating doubt in the defense line... But I don't reckon we'd enjoy watching Shaun Johnson running direct and attracting defenders...
 
James Maloney.
Yeah I should have said established Storm first grade player then. Maloney was a back up on peanuts that we took a gamble on.

Of the established players that we've taken from them, I'm struggling to think of good one. Bellamy seems to know when those players are past their use by date as well.
 
god...why is Cappy and Morgan shaking all the players hands and giving them a pat on the back....

anyone would think they were quitting and wishing players all the best for the remaining season (please, please. please....)

For all his faults, Tomkins was often hanging around the middle in support and chiming in on attacking raids. He's got a luvly butterfly tattoo as well.
 
Broncos players saying it was scrappy performance and lots to work on.

Our players seem satisfied after last weeks debacle. Thats the difference between good teams and Warriors. We have set a low benchmark.

Did Yvonne say that itll be a record equalling 11 straight losses if we lose next week. Sad to hear that most of us fans have had to go through that once already and looking at another 11 in a row. We care too much. Players dont.
 
People love to talk about our culture and how shit our juniors are etc but for me the 3 most disappointing players this year have been Lillyman, Hoffman and Robson- just farkin terrible.

I've never understood the point of signing Robson on a 1 year context. McFadden signs him because the team lacks an experienced half. When Robson leaves at seasons end the team, the team be in the exact same situation needing an experienced half.

Would rather we invested in the Likes of Lolohea or Higano or signed a player who would be here for more than one season.

Lillyman ran over 140m tonight, slowest running metres ever though and about 40 of those metres were running backward into the line. He got better as the game went on.

Having Mannering doing hitups is pointless if he has to make 50 plus tackles as well. Get Hoffman to take Simons hit ups to make up for hardly tackling anyone.
 
Roosters only need to wi by 10 and we're in 16th

Roosters just need to win by anything to go ahead of us.

It's OK though, the Knights playing the Bunnies will keep us off the bottom.

Lisone picked up a slight shoulder injury as well which is why he didn't come back on either.
