The greatest 30 seconds of rugby league this year #DallyM

@JackNapier84 It’s why I worry about next week. We never play good against teams we should put 50 on with ease because we do stuff like first half today

@drob777 Still just far too much low IQ footy decisions in this team. Just keep it simple a d grind it out until the right opportunities present.

Thoughts; -Still a deeply unserious team -Sam still looks quite lost out there with decisions -We need to stop with these short ball hospital passes to Wong & Crichton every 2nd set -Gonna be weird havn no tall wingers next yr. Been 15yrs -Take the win pls dont rooster it nxt wk

@JackNapier84 It’s one thing to be struggling to make metres and try your hand but it’s another to, like in the first half, be strolling up field easily and decide for no reason to do something dumb and just give them easy field position. It’s extremely frustrating

@drob777 As soon we keep it simple and control the ball we look completely different. This team needs to learn how to earn the right in attack. Defence in the first half was appallingly bad. Just soft lazy middle

@LeagueScenePod @sk_pryde That’s a whole other issue, but if you’re looking for why there has barely been any new refs being blooded since COVID it’s mostly because the half tucked shirt man continues to cut funding and contract spots

With you there 100% there’s also a significant problem with the officiating coaching staff and the way we’ve treated the legends. There’s no excuse for people like Cecchin and Cummins not to be involved still coaching. But the NRL burnt them out to a point where they don’t wanna ref anymore.

NRL refereeing is at an all-time low

@LeagueScenePod @sk_pryde The person to blame for that is PVL

@sk_pryde Did some research. Since COVID, we’ve debuted less than 10 officials in the NRL. In a high performance environment like NRL officiating. That lack of turnover and blooding of talent is grounds for firing. Someone has messed up somewhere for that to happen.

Savala at Centre 🤮

@CundyBradley He looks lost atm hey, struggling to read plays and looks like he’s out of ideas

I just want pre season Sam Walker back

No thoughts after that because Brookvale is a shit hole and you can’t see anything but I will say that 96% completion and 3 set restarts is a minor miracle. Turns out good discipline helps!

@CundyBradley I think it’s too early hey. Though now I see the issue is more that Sam is trying too hard to be too cute. Perfect example one of our linebreaks down left instead of spreading it wide he tried to be cute and went short side to tupou who had no where to go.

Hear me out but I’d like to see DCE at 7 and in control let Sam chime in with his off the cuff footy and running game when it’s necessary

@AJLucantonio Specifically Nat Butcher (Egan can stay for one more week if he goes back to the bench where he was effective last year), Lindsay Collins and Steep

If I’m looking at this forward pack. There should be some nervous onlookers at Wentworth Park on Sunday. Losalu and Va’a will be big watches at the expense of some. Based on the whole start to the season, suspect that there’s a few that could find themselves in reserve grade.

Thoughts; -Unsurprising loss. Seen this show b4 -Dominated for 15min, needed 2 more tries from that. Didn’t touch the ball inside the 20 for the next 45 mins -Too many crash plays,bread & butter for riff -Pauga has regressed badly -Crichton hasn’t looked like he cares since 2024

@ConPaffas @sexualdarasment @sydneyroosters Smart kid

@drob777 @sexualdarasment @sydneyroosters My grandson loves the song. He makes me play it in the car all the time

The @sydneyroosters deciding to bring back the Rooster Man song for every try is the greatest decision the club has ever made

@Duke2517 @sydneyroosters Definitely not every fan. It’s a brilliant and catchy song. I think it’s gone from YT but there was a video of the song blaring out from the team bus at Easts during the 2002 GF celebrations and thousands of ppl singing along to it on the streets. Legit goosebump worthy

@drob777 @sydneyroosters What…?? Every fan in that era HATED that song We campaigned for years to bring “Here come the Roosters” back…

@Sparhawk247098 @sydneyroosters I’m pretty sure it was written for when we changed to Sydney City Roosters. Lots of theories on why it disappeared for almost 20 years, including a fall out between Politis and the guy that sang it

@drob777 @sydneyroosters I always thought that song was written for Brad Fittler

@tomtombrisbane Agreed mate, that first 15 minutes especially was immense

@drob777 His calmness and effective D cannot be underestimated

Thoughts; -Mark is gonna be the death of me. So good but also so dumb. I love him -Naf an absolute weapon -Wong has easily been our most improved -Leading with 20 to go is why we bought DCE. A composed end to the game is a nice change -Few things sweeter than beating souths

@tomtombrisbane Yeah fair, not paying for more characters though 😂

@drob777 Rob deserves a dot point here mate

@JackieChan87805 There has already been 21 more set restarts than round 1 last year with a game to go. If you want a league where like in 2020/21, 90% of the time bttm teams can never compete with top & unless it’s shit v shit or top v top it’s a blowout 6/8 games each week, then good luck to you

@drob777 one round in ?🤣🤣🤣🤣 we had 2 golden point games you moron ave margin 1st round 2025 18 1 game to go 1st round 2026 21 barely any difference you whining bitch😎

It actually hurts to see how we’ve gone from one of the most competitive season ever in 2025 with one of the best ever finals series to back to this absolute rubbish Vlandoball set restart crap because the fat slob woke up one day and decided he wanted to change the rule again

@hayrooster It’s visibly different bro, we know exactly what it looks like because we saw it in 2020 and 2021, teams not being able to stop others when they get a roll on, teams purposefully giving set restarts on tackle 0 and 1 out of yardage because it means nothing for them, it’s awful

@drob777 I think it will still play out to be a great season. It’s round 1. From memory round 1 last year wasn’t much chop either, got better as we went. Refs need to calm down on these 6 agains though.
