We need to give Galloway a bit more time. I agree he hasn't ripped up any trees yet, but he has got through some big minutes and plenty of graft through a period where we have struggled for any consistency or patterns of play.Hopefully with more direction and distribution from a real hooker in Falloon , and McGuire's experience leading the way he will step up a level. I will give him at least until the summer has passed and we have fielded stronger sides for a period before writing him off as a dud.

That's fair. For me he ls more dud than quality at the moment but hopefully will prove me wrong. He isn't really bad just average plodder
At the moment

| Be surprised if more than 2 of the 4 come back in on Friday but fingers crossed and hamstrings lengthened.

He drops too much ball, can't break a tackle, and struggles to bend his back in defence. At least Mullally looked decent when he came on. But as we know, it's not Mac's way to play the younger players (unless he's forced)

| Galloway is simply a scapegoat due to being new.
He's playing better than some if not most of our forwards. Most of our players are getting an easy ride due to past achievements.
It's pretty poor going from our 'supporters' imo

No he isn't. He is slow in defence and he doesn't make the impact in attack his size and experience should. Just because you have an opinion about a players performance, that doesn't bring into question how good of a supporter you are. IMHO anyway. Lets hope he improves.

| So the Cowboys (who thrashed us) beat the Roosters (who thrashed St Helens) 40-0 today. Gives us an idea of how good Saints are this season. Anything other than a home win would be a big underperformance.

But surely, surely, that kind of scoreline just underlines how uncompetitive the NRL is doesn't it? With such a huge yawning skills gap between the sides?

| With no Lilley in the squad they must be certain on McGuire's recovery which is good.
I'd go with:
1. Hardaker
2. Handley
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sutcliffe
7. McGuire
8. Galloway
9. Falloon
10. Cuthbertson
11. Ablett
12. Ferres
13. Delaney
14. Burrow
15. Singleton
16. Garbutt
17. JJB

Not only have the Roosters lost 100% of their games so far they have also conceded an average of 34.33 points per game. They are truly WBNRLR.

Parramatta must be truly awesome then?
I wonder if the Roosters (having disposed of Super League rabble so convincingly last month with several key players missing) have allowed themselves to be lulled into a mindset of unconscious complacency?
If so, someone needs to inform them pronto that they are facing proper full time professional standard NRL players and not a bunch of jokers from a joke competition in the mid north of England.

Parramatta are truly awesome. They have awesome colours anyway.

No he isn't. He's been awful. I don't buy into this "give him time" nonsense. Garbutt or Cuthbertson didn't need time. Galloway is a seasoned NRL player and needs to start playing like it.

Jamie Peacock did. He was rubbish in his first season with us.

| The Roosters young halfbacks have gone backwards under pressure and losing confidence. Last night they were both very poor, but they are also very good prospects, and either one will look a lot better when Pearce is back.

Exactly what Ive been saying for weeks!
You cant blame young halves for not playing well when the whole team is below par
If you look back at last year, our halves only had a decisive involvement in probably less than half our tries

| McGuire's not playing - failed late fitness test. Garbutt and Singleton also not playing, no idea why. JJB starts, Burrow scrum half, Lilley/Mullaley/Walters/Delaney bench.

That's a huge blow. A weak bench as well.

Will the problems never cease....does anybody know why Singleton and Garbutt miss out???? As you say...a pathetically weak bench now.
And Burrow at SH FFS....no McGuire again.

| Two poor teams, I'll take the win, but we were 5hit most of that game, Ablett and Hardaker were particularly below par.
