Despite their impressive comeback in the 2023 season, the Sydney Roosters have been criticized for an "unacceptable" issue hanging over the team.
The injury-plagued Roosters' season came to an end in their match against Melbourne, but their efforts to revive a struggling squad have been praised.
Nevertheless, it is argued that their fairytale run should not overshadow the underlying problems within the club.
The analogy used likens the situation to a disappointing Cornetto, where the delicious chocolate tip cannot save the overall experience.
Similarly, the Roosters' impressive performance in the latter part of the season should not be enough to hide the fact that their overall performance was lacking.
The article suggests that the club's high payroll should have translated into a more successful season.
In rugby league terminology, a wet sail refers to a sudden burst of success or momentum.
However, in the case of the Roosters, this burst of success cannot conceal the fact that their season was mostly underwhelming.
