Joey Johns is not going to be doing extras to coach us...

Why? His brother is probably going to coach newie. He will only come here if he knows Richo somehow OR we fire Benji and hire his Brother...

BTW dinn't Johns Coach or help coach Benji at one point as a 7? Also dinnit that totally fail?

matty johns in 2005 helped out with prince and Marshall

I did not know this. Interesting as they played a very unstructured pair in 2005.

I am talking later, say 2008. I remember Andrew Johns going " i know what he is doing wrong. I can train that kid Marshall".

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but it’s probably a good time to start filling the remaining top 30 spots.

We did upgraded Mason to top 30 last week.....I believe there are no more spots to fill

Knights not interested in WT overtures to release KPP to us early...we never seem to get players coming our way eariler than the end of their contract..Dogs are the opposite

Jahream Bula is set to miss 4 weeks of action due to a hamstring injury. Bula pulled up sore chasing a Jarome Luai grubber on the final play against Canberra.

Heath Mason is expected to return to fullback, with Latu Fainu likely to partner Luai in the halves

Hope Heath has kept up some reps under the high ball while he has been in the halves...

How the FK do you have one run as a forward in 21 minutes...

Taking the piss.

I know right!
Imagine if a forward named Seyfarth had 2 runs for 14 metres in 59 minutes?
You'd drop him for good right?
Or would you write impassioned excuses multiple times for his ineptitude?
Maybe it isn't just Royce that's taking the piss.

We can finally move on from Adam D now he has appointed Moses as his manager. Get rid of him.

Be nice if we made a last minute play.
He can fill in for Bula whilst he's injured then perhaps move to centre next year.

Dragons. Pfft.... worst club

Also, I'm asking questions about Deine Mariner asap.

He's a seriously great player.

Chain? What chain? lol

Yeah who needs that newfangled fancy stuff, just listen out for when the load hits the bottom of the pit and you know that you're done. 🤣

 

[tigahhh]

a player swap with the Knights for TDS for Conor Votano would be alright , can play fullback for us now bula is injured

 

[hank37w]

Anyone interested in David Fifita heard he had a heated exchange with Des Souths had a chat with him in the last week

hmm, Benji or Benny, Benji or Benny?

I just can't decide. 🤔

 

[hank37w]

disagree tbh , game was in the balance you need api out there

I would have thought TDS may have been a game breaker as opposed to a tiring API, not being critical of your opinion because it has now passed and we will never know what may or may not have been.

One thing I will say though, is that at times Benji's selection and use of the bench is baffling and I don't think anyone can dispute that.

 

[pacey]

I feel like we are always linked with players who are a bit moody ... some days they’re switched on and can be brilliant, but other times they just don’t show up. Personally, I would prefer we target players who are more consistent.

 

[hank37w]

When we were giving API a rest and giving Talyn decent game time we were winning a lot more games than we have when playing API for the full 80mins, true or false ?
When Talyn was getting decent game time, he was coming on the field and making a positive influence, true or false ?
So if something was working, then you change it and it’s not working, would you not think maybe I should go back to what was working ?

You can only surmise that the kid is on the way out, but why the hell select him on the bench then?

Can we recruit the best scouts please? It feels like this is the area we are lacking. The roosters have just signed Canberra's best scout. We should look in the chook pen for any disgruntled scouts.

Look at all the roosters rookies this year, they're all nrl ready.

We need to be better at identifying talent.

I also think our pathways isn't upto scratch.

The Roosters have a billionaire chairman thats willing to invest heavily into the club.

Despite having a great CEO, we have a dysfunctional board controlling us.

Watching both these sides also being spoon contenders, I can say comfortably we are worse than both. We play titans twice and I think we lose both times. Funnily enough it is probably our only 'winnable' game for the rest of the year. No dragons, eels, knights, to play anymore. Four wooden spoons lock it in under Benji.

There is always Manly this week, but noises coming out of Manly, Turbo not happy and picked at centre, Seibold under pressure etc.

They are there for the taking but historically this is one of those games we should win but historically never do. 😡

At least we aren't favourites with the bookies.

 

[hank37w]

We have 2 games to prove it. If we can't beat them we probably deserve the spoon. We have a weird run home including Manly and Titans twice. We should get some wins there.

Possible spoon bowl again in the final round and we all know how we go in these types of games. 😡
