If Verills was already leaving, i would say he's a fine replacement. but verills was only forced out because they signed Smith. so yeah i think it was a mistake.
It's no mystery:
- They dropped their most creative player early in the season.
- They hyped up a young player (not his fault) who was always going to union.
- Victor gives away multiple penalties and has a permanent seat booked at the judiciary
- Keary's pass timing is permanently off sync and his kicking game is poor
Brandon isn't an 80m hooker, he is good to inject for a bit of quick firepower, though he's better suited to Lock. There's a reason why Grant was kept while Brandon was shipped off.
Agree with everything here. Also it's a small thing, but Keary can't kick far enough. Oppositions constantly start their sets at the 40m line. Over 80 minutes you get gassed.
@@trustfire Yes, I mentioned Keary's kicking and passing are poor this year. He is a very good runner of the ball but His kicking has never been great but at least it used be more accurate with the chip kicks
@@SilentHotdog28 B Smith has hardly been on the field so we can't blame him
Bingo!!
On your bike Suaalii👎
I think we can all agree (not all 3 of the chooks fans) that it's nice seeing the Roosters and their sombrero cap sucking this year 🤣🤣🤣
We love to see it
Would love to see both the Roosters & Manly miss the finals!!
I can't see the NRL, channel 9 and the ref's allowing it to happen though
@@KillAWhale666nice conspiracies.. roosters got the wooden spoon with Fitler coaching- nrl dont give a crap
And manly? LOL
38 years without a premiership Mr eel. Lol!
@jamespeet3060 looks like we've found one of the 3 Roosters supporters 🤣
At the Storm it would have been a strict working structure under Bellamy. At the Roosters its probably too many distractions (and parties)
Nah he's just an overrated kant
And Coke and paper bags
Gambling
Imagine how bad they'd be doing if they had to abide by the same salary cap as other clubs! Every fan knows they rort the system, that's why they are hated like Manly used to be. Another two internationals coming next year, in Spencer Leniu and Dom Young. Just a soulless club of mercenaries.
Gus could literally got caught the other day for rorting the cap don’t forget that Aswell 😂😂
Or their management just knows what it’s doing and how to get the most out of the salary cap.
Helps a lot having Nick Politis.
@@TransientNeurotic Oh yes, the management knows exactly how to manage the salary cap. You pay $500,000 to someone on the record, send it off to the NRL, then pay an additional undeclared amount to the player's family members or to overseas bank accounts. Or you employ family members on token jobs in the club or businesses controlled by board members. Or you give the player and his wife use of cars sourced through the car business of Nick Politis that are not owned by the player, and never declared, and in the books of the car business they are demonstrator models. There's so many ways to fiddle the salary cap, but most clubs don't have extra money floating around like the Roosters do.
@@daleviker5884 get rekt
@@daleviker5884 you’ve just made up a bunch of crap that has never been proven or has any credibility where are your sources or atleast a slight bit of evidence come on mate 😂
Jared, Victor and Brandon all lack discipline. Suuali- Lodge- Crichton drama. Teddie and Robinson are trading on their past.
Can't bekieve Gus is back on tv after lying through his teeth to all of us
I think smith is being used as a scape goat here he is not the major issue
I'd give the Cheese another year, or even half a season, before making serious decisions about his future at 9. But clubs could see him as a Reuben Cotter type that is in vogue now
Doesn't have the fitness and workrate of Cotter.
Roosters playing like the old warriors 🤦♂️
He was never worth what they paid for him but saying that the halves have been useless.
He's not a 9, I'm convinced of that
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 not really a 13 either, and we have already radley to fill the roll of a mobile lock anyway
@@dominicohearn8547
I think you just play him off the bench in the middle
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 id rather just put radley in at 13 and have some size off the bench, our pack is small enough as it is and im sick to the back teeth of watching them get rolled by bigger boys, the melbourne game being a prime example
@@dominicohearn8547
Radley is a whole other problem himself
Hahahaha from blaming walker to cheese now.
Perhaps its a coaching issue.
who are you gonna replace? there is no one with the record and premierships that he has! unless you are getting cleary, bennett or bellemay and even that i wouldn't do it
@jacobmurphy423 C'mon mate, even a cat could have coached the Roosters to those premierships when they had Cronk. Since he retired the Chooks have sucked.
nothing much has clicked since they dropped walker
Yes. Lost all respect for the coach after that
Yeah because walkers 40m passes that go into touch or get intercepted was really working well for the roosters
Well you can't buy a premiership every year
Love hearing from Gus
Let the roosters burn 😀
Starting with success and slowly fading away is a pointer that he inherited a good squad, but isn’t necessarily a good coach.
Funny how him leaving Storm it’s clear we still need him (in the lock/bench forward) but at the roosters he’s rubbish
He left because he wouldn’t accept that he is a lock/ bench player and thinks he is a first choice hooker he is not Bellamy played him how he should be played roosters aren’t and that’s the problem.
Storm don't need him, if he came back, he'd be useful, but Storm don't need him.
Hope they sign Tino from Titans . Him and Victor can form a lethal combo at league judiciary and see who plays the least amount of games. Robbo time to move on. New ideas needed.
Glad someone has noticed Robbo's inadequate in getting these guys to fire
Tell him he's Dreaming
Need to tweak up the roster a little starting with pulling out victor radley 👍
liability indeed
@@yuser5821 yeah man so many games lost because of the stupid poor discipline he has
How about it's his first season. Time is key as always and it's a key part of the ever changing spine. Not even a easts fan
Once a player starts doing weekly Podcasts and being on camera a lot their footy goes down the toilet.
Beau Ryan was the OG example, players realise its much easier making a living sitting talking to a camera than busting your body on a footy field.
Except they make pennies from doing a podcast… Not a replacement at all for a 500k salary
How does doing an hour podcast with James Graham once a week gonna ruin Brandon Smith?
Thats silly, by that logic having any social life would ruin players
@@clutch7548
You'll have to ask him that, the bright lights of Sydney town can bring a rolling wheel of cheese to a halt in many ways.
If the coach thought it was a problem he could have said no. He didn't. The Roosters have been trending down for a long time, now. Long before Brandon Smith turned up. If he's a problem it's problem #15 on the list. Far bigger ones are a forward pack which is a shadow of its former glories and guys like Walker, Kearey and Manu being very inconsistent. Look, they couldn't get over the top when they had Latrell. That speaks volumes. Smith is an easy target because of his media profile. It's easy to say Bellamy wanted him out after the fact. All I know is Bellamy kept picking him even when his off-the-field antics were far worse than anything we've seen since he moved.
@@deaddropholiday
I agree with that
Cheese gon mouldy ?
Roosters not making finals is gonna be oh so sweet
As a chooks fan I'm hoping we don't make the finals, good wake up call. Also they usually follow up a crap year with a premiership in the proceeding years.
B Smith is too much of a clown, doesnt take things seriously when it needs to be
How tf Smith copping so much heat. Hasn’t played for a month and they’ve been garbage all year
because he's the big money signing that did the Australian tour before committing to 3 clubs and is now making absolutely zero difference when he does return from injury....or any game this year. The biggest impact Brandon Smith has made all season was on Felise Kaufusi's shoulder in round 1
They’re talking like as if their previous hooker was Cameron Smith or something 😂 Roosters problem is they are an old side sprinkled with the young. Their halves, their fullback, their big men, even their winger.
Bc he’s the big signing that was supposed to make a change. And he talks a lot so he’s in the media a bit
These clowns just want one person to blame, and the convenient name is Brandon smith. Nevermind the kangaroo and nsw captain , or the halves pairing or the coach. Its Brandon smith, what a bunch of sissie's
too injury prone , always unfit and not resilient
Let’s be honest B.S Isn’t a dummy half he’s a utility for the forwards and the backs
And yet when they signed him he was daly M Hooker of the year.
Yeah he's not a 9
@@jt5225they didn’t sign him while he was dally m hooker of the year? He played lock last year not hooker
@@briancoldwell98 they signed him after the 2021 season, the year he won. He announced it on a podcast before the start of the 2022 season. Played the 2021 season as hooker won Daly M hooker then said a lot of things he shouldn’t have on a podcast after the roosters signed him and was moved back to utility player because he wasn’t the future at the storm. So yes they did…
Why would the roosters regret signing Smith..they have a limitless salary cap..so it doesn't matter
Brandon smith is in the same trouble sailor found himself at the Waratahs and chris Walker at the roosters. Suddenly every week is a celebrity Laden party to go to the underworld is all about and there’s loads of excitement away from the game. Sailor did the drugs, Walker did the booze. Neither hit the expected highs there.
i feel like everyone forgets connor watson did his knee in the preseason. connor and cheese were supposed to be the 2 prong attack
The roosters have so many stars on their roster it's pretty easy to forget three or four of them.
Like some players before him, land the cash and the job is done.
have to remember that squiddy took a while to get going when he first arrived
Theyve found their fall guy lol
Unreal ay lol
Dud Gallen say tedesco has had his best season ?? Ahh
"Teddy's not in the best form, as we know this season" couldn't be further from it matey.
I thought that too, but sounded like he tried to say hasn’t” but came off as has. Dudes had one too many hits to the head.
Roosters entire method of scoring is trying for line breaks. if they cant score off that they have no other options in attack. Their kicking game is weak and they lack a real playmaker who can make things happen, Munster, hunt, reynolds, clearly, luai etc.
Smith will be fine, he been injured half the season!
Napa should be starting
A little Bird told me 🐦 That most of the Senior Roosters have had ongoing Food poisoning and have been on Antibiotics for Months
The bloated hack robbo has been there too long
is this the marquee signing the dolphins missed out on??
Doggies fan here, Jeremy Marshall King has been phenomenal for the Dolphins. Happy for him honestly and a better decision to sign him over Brandon Smith
As a storm supporter, Brandon is an impact player, someone to inject in the game but I never believed he was an 80 minutes hooker. The storm knew Harry Grant was the better pick and were happy to part ways with Brandon. I'm not saying he's not a good player and probably needs more time to get the rhythm with the roosters but I'm not sure hooker for the whole game is his best position.
Mika zibanejad would score for them. Great scorer and DJ
Chooks been terrible all year, it makes sense they use Smith as the scapegoat though. Big signing and also came from Melbourne 😂
Playing like the old warriors.
Guss for blues coach 2024 ❤
Chookies will let Suailli go and make a BIG move on Bula at Tigers.
bula $hit
The Roosters were going downhill long before Brandon Smith turned up. Point the finger at the coach who has allowed his forward pack to deteriorate rapidly over successive seasons whilst he fiddles about with a backline which was always good enough to compete if the forwards were getting a roll on.
*TRENT ROBINSON* becoming the face of sexual inclusivity in the NRL might be something that's adding to the team's woes. Remember the Manly Pride round debacle last season? There could be some religious boys in the Roosters' dressing room who don't agree with Robinson on that.
Lol weird take but okay
I remember seeing Mr Robinson climbing out of a bloated black Mercedes 4WD tractor at the home of the Clovelly Crocodiles for what appeared to be a pre season ball work session with the boys a couple of years ago. It looked wrong and anathema to rugby league. I am not suggesting he catch the 360 to training but that car was a metaphor for their eventual and predicable decline particularly with the departure of the likes Cronk, who to this day does not appear to have had his nose fixed, giving the best possible NRL virtue signal.
@@koko_nutty6340 Don't you remember what happened to Manly after that Pride Round jersey thing? They lost the next six games and were bundled out of the season.
I can't remember once where that was remotely an issue this year for the chooks. Besides, that whole pride jersey thing was a year ago now. A lifetime ago now
Wierd take's an understatement, that was plain old bizzare. Stick to the footy mate😂
NSW has regretted signing Fittler
Is Paul Gallen speaking English?
shire jibberish
Brandon owes everyone in the Roosters camp, and much more, an impulsive gambler and the team are off him..... enuff said! As far as the implosion ask Robbo why he dropped our only halfback when he was 4th best in the NRL for defense and top 5 for attack... He had improved a hell of a lot, Robbo's brain explosion cost us this year.... most then had to play out of position... he keeps resting or dropping players of merit... crazy!
Brandon Smith no good with the Roosters roster and playbook.
Takes very special players to immediately gel into their new surroundings and play their game like Maloney and Cronk.
Papalii was great for Parra not the same player at Tigers.
I agree, but I do think Papali’i is trying so hard at the Tigers aswell as Bateman, just don’t have anyone else trying (Cowboys fan)
he's only up there for the drugs and parties😅
@@glennmacdonald6498 eastern suburbs have some pretty good coke lol.
Is going to get worse, flying juniors in and putting them in front of loyal juniors who then go elsewhere
Think smiths outa form. That said he can get back there
The cheese needs to move on. He ain't a good fit for the chooks. The chooks have no chemistry , especially with the amount of star player's they have in there squad
Gals taken too many hits post his league career. Even over past 2 years, I struggle to understand what he is saying
I blame Sam Walker.
how? he hasn’t played for the past few rounds
@@texan-rp4wc he is being sarcastic
Cheese is snorting lines...too much nose candy
This chook has been cooked
Money sombrero cant buy u a premiership
Roosters will bounce back. They have unlimited salary cap. Problem is there team is ageing real quick
dead cat bounce
Form slump has gradually gotten worse since the end of 2019,,, but its cheese's fault😂
Warriors are just gap fillers for the 8. Once finals come round, they're gone.
Same for Canberra.
Roosters? Gone. Need a decent 6 and 7.
Sharks? Gone. Cant defend.
i disagree warrior are exciting to watch they play free flowing football, and they only going to get better once they sort out they're recruitment stopping nz kids being poach by other nrl clubs
Boo these guys
Not the first player to leave Bellamys system an struggle with form, but i wouldn't wright him off
Always looking too start rubbish. The problem is the media. Maybe he could go to another club with shares?
The roosters need better halves. Keary hasn’t bounced back, and was already poor in defence. And Brandon’s best game is impact off the bench, he isn’t an 80 minute player in todays game. It’s not all Brandon smith 😂.
Fat maori isnt worth that money.
Stupid buy.
swap him for a warrior
Brandon's a lazy player ...lazy trainer, and not a good number 9 . Way too unfit at this level .
He goe's ok wen he playz for the kiwi's and storm? Mayb its this shyte team
nose candy addiction
