Yes we had a lot of our 1st choice players out injured but remember the Roosters bench last night. No Hargreaves, Jennings, SKD or Pearce yet they still showed a lot of quality against the Silvertails. I guess it highlights the difference in the recruiting prowess between the clubs.
My comment is not meant as a slight on the boys efforts. They tried hard & made a 4th placed team really work hard for their victory but if u r fair dinkum, there is a big difference in the quality of the depth in the player roster which basically goes back to assessing & recruiting talent.
True Michael and yet still they had several rep players on the park including rts, guera, Maloney, cordiner, tupou and Moa. Shows you what a farce the salary cap is and what bs the Nrl and dickhead smith keep telling everyone about the fairness it brings
"I'm putting last year down to the new style of attack and defence that had been implemented, as well as relying on Volkman at half. It was a disatorous 1st half without doubt, but I can't see that happening again. We should be much better prepared…"
"It was. Mainly because Read came off as a total fuckwit. While it's nice to see (most of) the media on our side in this case, it;s really hard not to be."

Rero was playing fullback? I'd assume Hayne was injured too
I won't mention who missed some of the crucial ones- will get my head bitten off.

I think it helps too when you have an unlimited salary cap as the Roosters seem to have.
