The Sydney Roosters have only missed the finals once in the past decade - but they are in real danger of an early exit before this year's playoffs.Three straight losses see them sitting outside the top eight in ninth spot - with a visit to Penrith in their next game.The Roosters showed some good signs against a back-to-form Parramatta side in a high-quality game last Saturday night.But ultimately they couldn't match it with the Eels and tumbled to a 26-16 loss.This was always going to be a challenging year for the club following the retirements of Boyd Cordner, the Morris twins and Jake Friend.The club is going through a transitional phase and that may see some short-term pain.The finals are still well within their reach - but they are going to have to lift their game and get Luke Keary fit and firing to play September football.
