Sydney Roosters would be finals-bound if they had managed to field their full contingent of players for most of the NRL season, according to Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan.The Roosters have been one of the seasons big disappointments, but only fielded a full strength side for the first time this year in their round 19 loss to the Sharks on Monday night.The Tricolours have been hit hard by injury and suspension, but their poor form this season has also been blamed on the off-season departures of James Maloney, Michael Jennings and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.Premiership frontrunners Cronulla were pressed hard by the Tricolours before clinching a 32-20 win and Flanagan believes the Roosters are a side capable of featuring at the business end of the season if things had been different.The Roosters are a good footy side and they played well against us, Flanagan saidIf they had have had that team together all year they would have been playing semi finals.They are big, they are powerful, Mitchell (Pearce), if they had him there all year they would have been playing semi finals.It is probably a real good warning to the whole game that you need your best players on the field and the Roosters are a classic example of not having their best players, especially at the start of the season.Pearce missed the first eight matches of the season due to a disciplinary suspension. Star forwards Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Boyd Cordner have also missed a large chunk of the season due to injury.However, Robinson was in no mood for introspection as the second last-placed Roosters (3-14) suffered another defeat to the Sharks (15-2), who secured their 14 successive win.It is hard to reflect at the moment on what would have happened, Robinson said.It is funny. I feel like we are a really confident team but we look like we lack some confidence each time we play. We really enjoy training and playing and we enjoy each others company and we are doing some really good work.But it is not paying off at the moment. If we keep going we will.I feel that was a really good start but we better tidy up some stuff quickly. Kentavius Street Super Bowl Jersey .

Y.A. Tittle Super Bowl Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Sydney FC fans can thank Chris Martin for stealing their clubs home ground on one of the biggest nights of their A-League season.The Sky Blues would have hosted Melbourne City at Allianz Stadium on Friday night but two Coldplay gigs forced them to move the blockbuster to the much larger ANZ Stadium.The British band are scheduled to play concerts next Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning the venue must be kept free for set-up.When the A-League draw was done, no one could have envisaged the game being a one-versus-two clash and doubling as a repeat showdown between the FFA Cup finalists.Chief executive Tony Pignata expected a crowd of around 20,000 at ANZ Stadium.However, that number would have fit more snugly into the 45,500-capacity Allianz, as in last months Big Blue with Melbourne Victory which drew just over 19,000.Its difficult for us to move games because its an administration nightmare with members and seats and all that sort of stuff but, unfortunately, weve had to move because of the concert, Pignata told AAP.But weve got a good record at ANZ as well and wed like a big crowd to come out and support us.Its one of the big games of the year and its been set up well playing the FFFA Cup holders in a top-of-the-table clash.ddddddddddddThe Sky Blues players will get a second stab at City, this time in Sydney, after FFAs decision to hold the Cup decider at AAMI Park.Coach Graham Arnold said that felt like an away match, and his players wanted to capitalise at home in their bid to open up a nine-point gap over John van t Schips side at the top of the table.Defender Michael Zullo said it was a very different scenario to last time.Its a new game and everything is definitely on our side this weekend.Sydney remain undefeated a third of the way through the season and returned to winning ways on Sunday with 2-0 victory over battlers Newcastle - their third match in eight days.Zullo was still sporting a giant bruise on Monday, five days after copping a battering, including one particularly ugly tackle from Citys Luke Brattan.Theyre physical and were physical as well, the left-back said.I just happened to be the one involved in a couple of incidents but it could have been someone else. I dont think it was intentionally directed at me. ' ' '
