Firstly, this Roosters side is miles better than that Cronulla side. Secondly, I’m no Saints fan but no other SL team gets within 8 points last night. Only a few rounds in to the new season but I haven’t seen anything that suggests this season is going to be dissimilar to last season in that Saints will top the table comfortably and go back to back. Hope I’m wrong and someone can at least make it interesting.

Joint third at the moment, Huddersfield are the new Saints

Maybe they should listen to ABC radio in Lake Macquarie NSW.

Dunno why the commentary made it out like roosters went to Barcelona in some jolly. It wasn't the case at all, serious training session with catalan and then saw some sights. Seeing sights doesn't = out on the lash!!

Roosters took this game deadly serious.

as ever, two sides, any NRL side would demolish SL opposition. We are slow, we ruin the ptb, and it is boring. I wouldn't blame Sky for walking away. Look at the schedules, F1, Golf, Cricket, Netball, all take prescedence above RL. A tiddly winks final with a quarter of humbug at stake would beat the Sky coverage for the garbage SL serves up.

Imagine spending all your time on a message board for something you thought was boring.

That Robinson post Analysis is the kind of thing I want to see.

Incredibly detailed and actually explaining why players do things they do. That could have went on for 30 mins and you wouldn't get bored.

The game is lucky to have him. Before he went to Toulouse he actually had an offer to go to Rugby Union.

Long term for the WCC who knows?

Robinson is well behind it but the Roosters won't win the NRL every year so no guarantee we get another side so enthusiastic about it.
