The hate is clouding you. Brooksy is a club legend. One of our most capped, highest point scorers, one of the highest try scorers. He is a legend through and through, and had to put up with bad board and management his entire time who couldn't build a decent team around him till it was too late
Galvin could play 7 but his best asset is his running game and he's still young. Luai's best position might be 7... just needs more games (not just one so far) to lengthen his kicks. His last tackle options barring the pass to JFH last week were decent. Gus Gould was willing to pay over a million for Luai with a marquee 5/8 in burton on 800K there already. Bit early, but I'd go 6 Galvin 7 Luai with both sharing the kicks like Munster and Hughes do. Still waiting on Fainu to make a certain judgement though. I think NRL fans are obsessed with a dominant organising halfback and an all out running 5/8, as well as ball playing locks since the 6 again era. Attacking coach needs to really improve the team in pre season mainly in attack. The off season prior looks to have had a big focus on defence
I'm hoping this is satire
I like Lemuelu. He's been excellent under Wayne
Has he had 1 good game for us? Just 1? Where you left the game thinking there’s $650k well spent. I can’t think of one game .
The Munster / Hughes comparison is a good one. They both have such a high skills base and great vision. I wouldn’t be playing them in traditional halves roles. I’d be giving Romey the second receiver role most of the time but asking them to link up on both sides. I think Galvin can kick long and Luai short pretty well. Remains to be seen what they have to work with, definitely Bula and Olam & Turuva. Need a couple more workaholic outside backs who do all the dirty stuff and can break tackles. Unsung like Melbourne have found in guys like Meaney & Reimis. Athletes with high footy IQ.
No but I think that’s a side effect of being a poor team. Plenty of losses I’ve thought he was one of our least bad.
On $650k he was least bad. He never wanted to be here. A legal letter from brydens lawyers was the only reason he still came. What a dud!!
I do get the feeling he wants to go somewhere and win, which is hard to blame him for. We just need to make sure we find an adequate replacement.
Malakai Watene-Zelezniak enters the convo.
He used to play for us, didn't do much then, he's just a lower grade player
He was lame. But Naden is lame and just stupid. He literally just had to put his hand on whoever has the ball for it to be a handover.
No one who’s killing it for the Roosters has ever left them to go to a bottom of the table team. It doesn’t happen.
