Not another one with potential, please.

I think you have to have 6 development players in your squad from next year. So six players with potential- we just need to make sure we don't make them the focus of the team

What constitutes a development player - someone who has not played NRL or what is the requirement?

That'll explain why eels picked up Moses.

From what I heard we enquired about Gordon months ago (before Teddy was confirmed as gone), and his response was lukewarm. We then looked elsewhere, ie Lolohea.
I'd be amazed if Hooper wasn't just rehashing an old story to get clicks.

I don't know but I'd imagine someone around 20 and yet to play NRL. A player you are developing for the future so therefore giving experience and opportunity to be a full time footballer.

We still do not have a goalkicker:

Only one we have half decent is Lolo and he is only a 66 percenter …. Not good enough unless we are planning on scoring all our tries under the post.

I don't think he's that bad. He seemed to hit them pretty well last week.

If cowboys need to get rid of players, I'd look at Ethan Lowe

I feel the cowboys decide to unload Ethan Lowe I would take him anyway. He is a hard runner who can play lock and is a very good goal kicker. But, If the Rooster want to make Tuakeaho leave then I would definitely take him. Young, big body and can also goal kick.

Wow there are some decent forwards in that list…

 

[WswWt]

Would love to have Jai Arrow here. He has a lot of family in Sydney

 

[Tim Sheens]

Watson showed his versatility by playing nearly eighty at hooker.

He looks tiny ?

 

[HabboTiger]

Should have gone for Guerra

Maybe because the cameras are a long way from where he puts the ball down under the crossbar :slight_smile:

 

[wonka]

Last time Guerra scored a double was 10 years ago, We are so pathetic we make crap players look good.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

The reality is we have players in our NRL team who may make the interchange of the Rooster's ISP feeder team. The gap due to talent, experience and age is enormous but that is being addressed by Cleary. However, the Roosters can always pick the eyes out of the junior talent at carnivals etc because of $. The NRL needs to address this issue.

So did Langer and Toovey.
