Honeymoon over

Funny that since Brooksy has done his knee ..they have lost everygame, Joey Walsh might be a bit over rated at this stage of his early career

Yes so true! Penrith are always having to shed players each year to make sure their cap is sustainable yet the Roosters in particular seem to go on their merry way without any cap issues.

They already have a star studded team made up of NSW & QLD origin players and now they’re favourites to sign Farnworth if he doesn’t re-sign with the Dolphins! Like fmd how many more elite players are they allowed to have! They can’t all be playing on low salaries and for the love of the club only.

Roosters have shed plenty of big names the last few years, possibly more than Panthers.

After this season Nawaqanitawase, Crichton, Watson leave. They've only added Garrick. Should have heaps of cap space depending how much they've spent upgrading others.
Rep players that have left the Roosters the last 3 years include; Smith, Manu, Keary, Waerea-Hargreaves, Sua'ali'i, Tupouniua, Young. Lost a few other lesser players also.

Averillo played fullback today for Dolphins in QCup in their big win over PNG.

He could be anything as a fullback. Speed of a winger, size of a centre and ball playing of a 6.

master of none

He is a gun fullback with explosive speed and genuine ball playing ability , but we will probably never see it.

 

[Tiger_claws]

Always thought he was Craig's son

Thats the other assistant Aaron Bellamy

The Dolphins have so much depth for a club which is relatively new. Being in SEQ has its benefits but their recruitment appears to be excellent.

Bellamys going round again next year

Yeah he is but I think the Storm will start putting staff in place next year. Marc might want to stay but he could possibly decide to call time on his Storm stint. Cooper Cronk & Bill Slater both have stated he is a huge reason why the Storm have been successful

30 to 4 second half for storm. Manly gone for 2026. Will there be any pressure on Foz in the media?

Shouldn't be. That side has over achieved if anything.

His best position.

Wonder if there is legitimate or just more speculation by uninformed journalists.

It's clear it's needed though.
Wonder who this outside will be....

“Speculation by Uninformed journalists” no I’m sure it’s from anonymous sources under provision of anonimity
😂

Our big signing for next year playing Q cup..

 

[davey_farrell]

Maybe we play Jake at fullback and play our 900k man at centre next year..just a thought

He could get a shot with us the way Bula is going.

How would people feel about Trent Barrett as an assistant?

Just when you think you have hit Bottom in rolls Barrett

Suppose someone has to start putting out the witches hats again no one more qualified then Barrett I think he could come up with some nice Patten's I Always wanted a figure 8 layed out just to see what the boys would do it could still happen

I heard during the week that Bretnall was in line to be head coach after Bellamy.

Not sure if true but wouldn’t think he would leave the Storm now while still a chance for the main job

Was mentions like a week ago they're going to make a big offer to Billy Slater

Foz and a relatively good run with injuries painted over some serious cracks there. That club are still in trouble. Last in Cup, 2nd last in Flegg too

 

[TigerNeddyK]

And a gun of a coach.

I’d settle for a gun prop , centre , and winger
