Andrew Johns says Fox would be a good fit at South’s
Fox & Trell together , would have more powder than Johnson and Johnson , but Johns could be right he was on the powder and other shat was he not

Need Naden to get randomly tested. Another strike and he’s off the books.

Get it done today , no wait till Friday night before footy starts , that would be my time to test all players

 

[426Tlgerland]

Don’t see that financially viable sadly

Throw in 150 k on top

 

[Modman]

when are we signing to’o

Extra long cooling off period.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

If we could offload Starford for JAC that's a huge win

Forgot about his existence to be honest.

Don’t get me wrong, we can offer it and will be the winners of it, but dogs taking on 1.7m over 3 years with Bud (if my math is right) then nadens contract, idk but Gus will have a way

It disturbs me how many are talking about JAC as a serious option.

Watching Spelling Bee on the ABC. Apparently Papalii can't spell "five eighth".

We should target Harrison Graham. Dolphins player who I think has a lot of potential. Get on the phone richo

He's so overhyped it's not funny. Purely off field, I don't think he'd make a good impact for our young guys, let alone his on field poor performances

FWIW - I know JAC is past his prime, but in the last 40 years of watching league, he is probably the best pure winger I’ve ever seen.
Lote was great, Sailor was dominant, but peak JAC is my pick.

Edit: honourable mention to Folau.

And Tuiaki, Richards of course 😊

Brett Morris destroys all of them for class and longevity

I watched spelling bee the 1st night and haven't turned it on since.

Over 40 years ago… hard to believe.

Ponga and Walsh are flashy….They are the Benji Marshal of fullbacks - fun to watch but not dependable. Both can be really off on occasion.
The best in the game, and by some margin are Teddy, Turbo and Dylan. The first two have ruled for years but Edwards has caught them.
On 2024 form, Ted is the best performing and I’d say he’ll win Dally M fullback of the year.
That doesn’t mean I think he is the best all round fullback. Edwards is for mine, but he has had a great year.

Love it or loave it, Teddy has become a bit of a Cameron Smith at fullback. He still has speed and agility, but he is constantly out placing his rivals with the way he plays his options. That said. It’s been proven that his style suits the Roosters uniquely. He tends to need width to play and options around him, he also tends to touch the ball more than his rivals which can make it difficult to work around him. Like Cameron Smith it can be boring watching him continue to do what he does, understandably Walsh and Ponga are more attractive to watch, with their ability to break and make something out of their own run and shape. Not sure where Tommy fits in? A fit Tommy is probably the best fullback in the game.

Mate was not aware they still did it , amazing nobody caught this year , must be very random and very rare

They were talking about JWH on. 360 last night and said every premiership team has a forward leader just like him
Roosters JWH
Storm - NAS
Penrith JFH and Leota
WTs = Powderpuff.

You'd take Fox?

He let his team down so much in the most important game they've had in years.

Off field stuff, every year.
Getting KOd at the Koori KO last year, testing positive this year (and lying) + the injuries and age.... I think he's not even worth a second thought.

He's contributed more to the Dogs this year than Naden, To'a, Doueihi, Feledy, Staines have for us combined...
So Yeah, I'm at least looking into it.
- Oh, And he single handedly wins games.

If a player Bullshitting in the NRL was a punishable offence - There'd be no players.

It's OK Demps, We'll watch him go to another club that finishes higher on the ladder than us next year
- And then we'll just blame the halfback
