My thoughts exactly. You just have to give them a shot and job to do. From the looks, the Roosters are always on the hunt for flash new toys in the hope of buying a prem. So guys like Baker get sidelined.
He is a ripe age and should hopefully step up and play the Palasia replacement.
Ego always has a way of getting in the way of business. Sounds like Ikin wanted to be the shot caller. Didn't go his way so he jumped ship. We want people who want to be here. Glad to see the back of his drama as it appears everyone else is on the same wave length.
Not actually sure what he did or was involved with. The two big signings happened before he came in and the signings for this year like Marty seems he also had no involvement in. The clean out maybe?
Don't have much time these days to comment or read everything but I just wanted to put out there not to underestimate the residual fatigue we would of had as a side coming off a big game in the Darwin heat/humidity. That would have sapped a lot of juice and when you add the liss of Payne in the...
We beat the Storm in our GF so they are done in my book. It's a good rivalry but we have the GF.
The Cows on the other hand I can't stand, they beat us in the GF. I want to see them destroyed utterly for it haha. Plus that little Ginger we gave them is a sour little twerp who I want to see suffer.
Well I finally got to see the game after becoming a Father over the weekend. We have won three ways so far, tough gritty defensive, all rounder complete and now average with the flash of brilliance to get the win comfortably in the end.
You need wins in a season obviously but the big thing you...
This exactly. This is a huge barometer of exactly where we are at. In days gone the games we should have won were often the ones we let slip. If we are to go far in this comp we need to ice games like this.
The negative views on here about Staggs are a bit over the top. His defence was excellent and he was error free. You can't compare him to the other side of the field where all our attacking flare went.
Herbie is good but come on a huge percentage of this place bagged the hell out of him until...
I hate to make comparisons, but Mam reminds me of JT. The deceptive pace/ running style, the tenacious defense, knack of always being around the ball when something is on. I love the bloke.
Walsh was electric tonight, the way he moves and turns on his wheels is just pure excitement.
What...
Why is this coming out now if he stood down before Christmas ? Also we have signed Marty, resigned Pat, CJ and Paix. All good moves if you ask me, so the committee is doing their job it seems. I don't think we would have retained FLeg or Herbie if was on the committee or not.
I am wondering...
Probably will not want to mess with a winning team much this year. Stability will be our focus, I just hope these young blokes are getting games somewhere because they need minutes.
I don't know what you guys think but there are a couple of middles coming off contract at the Tits that I would be keen to take a look at. Big Mo for one and the other is the underrated Jaimin Joliiffe (my preference). We have lost a couple of forwards to them over recent years so wouldn't be...
I think Payno will be up for a huge game. He seems to be bringing a bit more aggression so far this year. Had a few stinging tackles against the cows in the trials and against the Panthers. So far there is something different about him this year.
