yea, well i dunno i just think he played better than what i thought he would have.. Sure he is not at his best yet.. I just think overall he played good. Yes he missed a few tackles when he was chasing them down, but he either got them on second go.. or slowed them down enough that he got support in to finish the job.

Does anyone think Barrett is regretting his decision to play here when he got an offer probably to the same value from st filth?

He said it was his goal to win a comp, and as much as i cant believe im saying it, they have quite a chance, as clearly we dont.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS 19 CRONULLA SHARKS 12

SYDNEY Roosters captain Braith Anasta said players had almost forgotten the words to their victory song after going winless for 29 days.

At least the Roosters could laugh. Cronulla supporters could only cry after their team slumped to their seventh straight loss and equalled their worst start to a season in the 42-year history of the club.

The latest loss put the Sharks of 2009 in the same basket as the teams from 1969 and 1970. Led gallantly by captain Paul Gallen, Cronulla dug in after losing star playmaker Trent Barrett to concussion for the entire second half and were peppering the Roosters line for the final 10 minutes.

But a late field goal by captain Anasta sealed the Roosters' first win since round four against Parramatta.

Cronulla 12 Sydney Roosters 19

CRONULLA haven't got any money in the piggy bank and they couldn't get the cash against the Sydney Roosters either.

The pressure on Sharks coach Ricky Stuart is mounting after his side crashed to their seventh straight loss last night to move a step closer to the wooden spoon.

And in a further blow, late inclusion Trent Barrett failed to finish the game after being knocked out late in the first half.

Dismissed by bookmakers, snubbed by their own fans and on one of their longest losing streaks - now just three shy of the club record of 10 - the Sharks are a club in disarray.

"We're all very disappointed," Stuart said. "It's tough times.

"The fortunate thing I've got as a coach is I've got a tight-knit, solid bunch of footy players in there.

"That's what's needed in this time, we're all hanging in tough together. It's a lot of work to burrow our way out of this but there's no doubt it's hard times for us."

This time last year Stuart was preparing the Kangaroos for the Anzac Test. Now bookies have installed him as the coach most likely not to see out the year. Even Roosters counterpart Brad Fittler felt for his former coach.

"As a coach you can't go out there and do anything about it . . . he's been doing it a long time and he's a good coach, Stick," Fittler said. "They'll get a win soon."

Cronulla are a club on the brink.

Financial problems off the field - including an outstanding tax bill estimated to be around the $800,000 mark - have threatened the very viability of the club. And their fortunes haven't improved on the paddock either, with a brace of tries to Kiwi international Shaun-Kenny Dowell setting up last night's win for the Roosters.

There are problems everywhere - the Sharks haven't had a win since round one, their CEO Tony Zappia is rumoured to be eyeing the slightly greener pastures at Parramatta and the wooden spoon appears to be a mere formality.

However, skipper Paul Gallen said the club had survived even tougher periods, namely bad runs in 2001 and 2002.

"We're all in the same boat . . . I've been through times like this before and come out the other end," he said.

Reni Maitua left last year's wooden spooners, the Bulldogs, in the hope of better times at the Sharks. Although his new side appears set for a similar fate, he had no regrets about the move.

"I don't regret coming to this club for one second," he said.

"I haven't had a win since round 20 last year when we beat the Broncos but I couldn't be happier to be here.

"I've said it before, and people may think I'm talking rubbish, but I've never seen a stronger group of blokes.

"We've just copped seven losses in a row and we'll turn up to training on Monday and there will be no backstabbing, everyone's tight.

"We training harder than any other team in the comp and there's definitely a belief in the camp. It's a long season. We've still got the same goals as at the start of the season. We want to be in that top eight. That's what we're striving for."

The win was a massive relief for the Roosters, who scored their first points in 143 minutes when Kenny-Dowall scored the first of his two tries. Skipper Braith Anasta joked "we felt like we forgot the words" to their victory song after snapping a three-game losing streak. But while Fittler was pleased with the performance, he was incensed with a no-try decision against Jordan Tansey - for obstruction - which would have sealed the game much earlier.

"It's just crap ... I feel like swearing," Fittler fumed, believing defensive teams were being rewarded for making bad reads.

Barrett was ruled out during the week after he aggravated his back, but in a shock development the former NSW playmaker ran out with the rest of his team come kick-off - before succumbing to a legal Craig Fitzgibbon tackle.

"These tough times are always difficult to handle," Stuart said. "I'm trying to lead these boys through it. I'll keep working as hard as I can to do that."

SYDNEY ROOSTERS 19 (S Kenny-Dowall 2 S Perrett tries C Fitzgibbon 3 goals B Anasta field goal) bt CRONULLA 12 (P Gallen R Williams tries L Covell 2 goals) at Toyota Stadium. Referee: G Badger, Matt Cecchin. Crowd: 9,879.

At the game last night while the refs were warming up Gavin Badger seems to be looking for a contract as he was taking 25m field goals and nailing them easy was kicking bombs through the posts and practising his spiral passes with another ref.
Anyone see this last night?
Should we have a play at Gavin Bagder for five-eight in 2 weeks in barrett isn't fit?
