It’s a somewhat fair question. With the exception that Brad Arthur didn’t make the finals last year. Despite being average, the Roosters have managed to make the finals each year since their last premiership haven’t they? That’s something.
But yeah, since the departure of Cordner, Friend and Cronk, the club has been flat as a tack.
The reality across the NRL is, if you have a solid roster, and you miss the finals 2 years in a row, you’re toast.
