Why our centres have not seen any space for a year

Your team needs a serious injection of forward power, Halves need grunt in the middle, We had that problem for years, things are looking abit better for us but still yet to get there.

Lets see what happen to the Roosters when they are missing 4 props out of their top 7 props

Do you have a stat for that ??

you are suppose to be a happy tiger…. you seem more sad to me... Cheer up sad tiger.

Realistic Tiger would be a more apt comment

Unlike predicting my side will make the Top 4

Seeing you are a Roosters supporter a more apt name would be Rorterman

Show us the books so we can all have a good laugh By the way ,just remind me where your recruit man came DIRECTLY from

Appears the same thing is happening again Everyone asking "How are the Roosters under the cap "

I can remember continually asking the same question about the Storm

Spot on.

Weak ass forwards create the space for rushed decisions from halves.

We knew that last year though. Injuries haven't helped. God help groat (henceforth proclaimed 'the saviour') when he comes back. On a hiding to nothing AGAIN.

Poor b@st…

Ayshford' spot is fine mostly, after Woods he is probably the hardest of our guys to tackle, prolly should work on his draw and pass maybe.

Lawrence is Collis mk 2\. Maybe time to try Brien or Simona.

Or maybe try Moltzen at centre and put Lawrence back to wing and Teddy to fullback. Teddy is green and will take some time to work his way into NRL level. No a short term thing, more a medium to long term experiment.

Actually Prmz I didn't start it this time , he is trolling I called him out for it and then he had a shot at me

About 15 minutes ago ,I commented that I thought his side was Ok bar BMM so its not one way traffic

Stats are discussing football with someone ,c'mon give me a break anyone can cough up some figures about anyone Half the blokes think that fantasy league is reality :laughing: Try putting the best fantasy league points getters in a side and see how they go

They might not give a crap what a Roosters supporter says , but I reckon they might be interested what the Tigers supporters do in response

Its a mental thing , if they know they have your support they will get some confidence Maybe its crap ,I don't know , but if every fan showed up at fan days and said the all the players were pathetic I don't think it would help matters

I think rowdy is worried about stretching out and doing another hammy. I may be wrong but I think there is a connection between his pelvic injury and the hammy? Could be a confidence thing though

I think I remember Ross Conlon doing something similar and he couldn't run out of sight on a dark night after that

Sorry Coopy but I can't ever remembering Ross Conlan being able to run out of sight on dark night

Along with Covell ,Wayne Bennett and Wayne Stewart the four slowest wingers I have seen

Not to get too pedantic or off topic but this….

"Having only played 3 under-23s matches, Conlon debuted for Wests in round 6 of the 1981 NSWRL season, scoring a try against North Sydney. His performance in a televised match was noted, with the next days paper saying, "Tall and fast, Conlon came up with a debut match that footballers dream about. The Magpies have unearthed a dashing new find."[4]

After two seasons with the Western Suburbs, Conlon signed with Canterbury in 1983\. Conlon had a successful season with Canterbury, and the team made it to the preliminary final against Parramatta Eels. Conlon dislocated his hip in the game but was able to return to first-grade in round 10 of the 1984 season."

But you're right - he was slow as wet week after that. I would also add Chook Heron and Daryl Halligan to that list
 
The centre's don't see space because Marshall is always kicking the bloody ball early in the tackle count or running sideways. As for Lawrence he is a hole runner, he doesn't have a sidestep or a passing game, overated player.

Interesting bit of trivia, Ross Conlon taught both Covell and Laffranchi in highschool.
 
I can remember watching Wayne Bennett scoring a try on Wayne Stewart in about a 30 metre race for the corner flag in a Souths v Wests game in the 70's

I don't know what was slower the action replay or watching two snails race ,it was scary

Can distinctly remember my Dad saying at the time that they looked like they were both running with concrete boots :laughing:
