Last night was the best example of how a team should play and in our case, shouldn’t. Roosters were far better at every aspect of the game. They hit hard in defence, in attack it was like they were on fast forward compared to ours. They had support players everywhere, the play the ball speed was far superior, their attack was creative. We were poor defensively and our attack was one out, slow motion almost. Roosters looked like scoring almost every time they had the ball. It looked like a roosters training run an we were an under 18 side.
Point is that players, coach and to an extent management, we’re all to blame. Players looked unfit, discipline and fundamental skills were poor and creativity non-existent (although Foran offered a lot more which really shows how bad we are without him in the side). Pay and the rest of the coaching staff tolerate poor form. How we are at the salary cap or even close is unbelievable. We still haven’t got a major jersey sponsor and the nrl’s audience was/is getting more global until more sports start back up, would seem an easier selling point but still we play in a best and less jersey. Keen to see Thompson go around but we need a lot more than him
