Injured?

Romano played in cup this week and looked way better than BBO.

The incidental penalty was fucked. Taffe better but still not a FG FB. I love how we have accepted mediocrity. I guess that's what happens after being shit for so long. Face it we got flogged. No two ways about it. We were competive for 80 minutes but couldn't ice our opportunities and made too...

Yeah I did and the defence was heaps better it should have been 40. But you can't hide the fact that on the score sheet we were flogged.

So ciraldo will be happy with that defensive effort I suppose..... just a lazy 25points

Watching the bunnies and broncos tonight, even with the litany of errors and poor completion rates, they look so much better than us in attack. At the moment we are so far off the top 8 teams it isn't even funny. I am gonna say if Cockhead Ciraldo persists with the stick and pick tactic of...

I like this and have thought similar. I would have Tracey on the wing for Wilson and Xerri in the centres.

I'm shocked a few were left out TBH. Xerri did enough in the trials to get a run over Wilson. I would have had Criita at FB xerri in the centres and Tracey on the wing and Sexton in the halves. Ciro fucked us before we even ran on the field... He was happy with out defensive effort! We let in 26...

On less coin.... alot less. Thompson and RFM among worst investments the club has ever made.

Where the fuck is Turpin?

To be honest I don't mind what team we play as long as we show some fuckin resilience in defence and a win would be nice.... is that too much to ask?

Exactly why I'd play him off the bench when a bit of fatigue sets in. Brings takle efficiency and is more likely ro have some decent runs once players start to gas out.

The guy is just giving us a tip. Thanks pal. Kayo is not perfect but the best cheap option out there. I can't justify paying the exorbitant amount for foxel just to watch sports and the rest of the channels are complete garbage. If it wasn't for 4K sports foxel would be dead.... I

1.Tracey 2.Skelton 3. Critta 4. Xerri 5.JAC 6.Burton 7. Hutcho 8.King 9. Mahoney 10. Faamausili 11.Kiks 12. Preston 13. Salmon 14.Mann 15.Hughes 16.Curran 17.Taffe

How has no one got room for Skelton? He looked powerful and dangerous almost every time he touched the ball. I'd have him in instead of Kiraz, and Tracey at FB and maybe taffe on the bench. He can cover most backline positions. Xerri showed enough to get a run. Salmon wasn't bad at lock. The...

On another note Xerri impressed me a lot. Especially the little things he did off the ball. Defensive reads were good. Didn't show any signs of rust. If Cirro doesn't find a spot for both him and Skelton in our round 1 team them he's got shit for brains.

Half the players in the NRL have kids..... he's a professional. If that is the case then he needs to figure out how to do both like every other working parent on the planet. I just don't think he handles the pressure of being an NRL half. The dogs need to figure out how to use him properly...

Romano cook at training

I was surprised too but I heard it off a pretty reliable source. I guess we'll know for sure once they hold an open training session.

Apparently signed months ago and is already pre season training. I'm not sure why it hasn't been announced yet.

I'd say if we get him he'll be our number 1 Reggie hooker and will cover Mahoney in case of injury. I'd say Turpin will either get a bench spot or him and cook will compete for Reggie's hooker.

Young hooker, plays for souths. Pretty handy. A bit older too. I think he's like 21

I have some info that we might be getting Romano Cook for next season. He will be looking to break into regular 1st grade team.

As much as we don't like it he can cover multiple positions. If mahoney goes down or 1 of the halves. We are lacking a genuine utility now Brown has gone. He is our only option as far as I can see. Gone next year. Only need to put up with him for a few more rounds. It's why gus is looking at...

Yawn. Just the media trying to lay the boot into the dogs again. The Roosters aren't doing well at all this season with a much stronger roster (I had them in my top 4). Where are all the articles criticising and laying the boot into them. Fuck the media. Let's finish the season strong and wait...

Not sure what people's thoughts on this is... A lot of us had high hopes for this season, however with the injuries we've had and given the fact we had only 7 wins last year. Would you consider 10 wins a pass mark for this year?. We still have Kiks and possibly Thompson to come back. With 8...

I had such high hopes for this season. I'm pretty sure I'm watching the wooden spooners today. We have had only 1 convincing win all season. Even the ones we win we only scrape by...

Apparently ciro is a defensive genius....lol

With Brown, Burns, Pele, Sutton, Flange and Reynolds playing in NSW cup how is this the best team we can field? Can't blame injuries now. Ciraldo must go to training stoned...

Well TPJ has just played himself out of a blues jersey... high shot followed by 2 rushes out of the line hanging his team out to dry

Yewww nice try.... was that our halves combining fuck me I never thought I'd see that

Fuck my life... how is Perham not dropped?

Fuckin escort.... these 50/50 calls seem to go our way like 20% of the time

Alamoti is the new knockonbor

Wtf fuckin bunker

I thought they aimed up against the rorters. TPJ ran for nearly 200m Max was pretty good Preston had a go. There were a few average reads around the middle which ultimately cost us. That and the fact JAC didn't play to the whiste and let them waltz straight through where he was supposed to be...

Mahoney..... right.... Drugs are bad mmmkay, mmmkay Mr Mackey mmmkay

Would help if he had some fit forwards to help him out.... he isn't that big and has blokes 115kg running at him for 80 minutes. Should we just ignore the fact that he has most 40/20s in the nrl?

Except for Alamoti we will have plenty of pace in our back line next year. I personally wouldn't over pay for him. He still has a lot of deficiencies is his game. Right now I think Avo is a better centre. Alamoti still green as. I'm not sure centre is even his best position.

300k -400k would be market value I reckon

I'm on the fence with OK. For the right price is good for depth. With more time in the backrow and fix his defensive reads and his shirt grabs he'd be worth keeping IMO

I think people need to keep their expectations realistic... it will depend on how he goes in the pre season. My guess is if we retain Avo he will start over xerri. Ciro will most likely give him a few games in reggies first and if he performs well move him into first grade. It will be nice...

The refs certainly did thier best to make sure we didn't win that one. Probably one of the most 1 sided referees performances I can remember

Idiots talking about last place

Fuck all you nay sayers

Yeah baby

Perham is caught out of position so often. We don't have many options at FB, however once they break out line I have little faith in him he stopping a try... is shocking 1 on 1, nervous under the high ball, doesn't accelerate when taking the ball back, runs latterly too often. Terrible defensive...

If we win tomorrow with the bye we are right on the edge of the 8. Just wait until we lose before carrying on like Pelicans

Sick burn. Are you fucking Thompson or something? Sure seem to have a hard on for him.

At least when he was on he looked dangerous. He may yet be another flop but at least he still has potential. Thompson is a failed experiment

You won't either. Not an elite NRL player. Being good in super league is like being the smartest kid out of a group of down syndromes.

He made 3 appearances last year!!! And we are 12 rounds in. So we have paid over 1.5 million over 2 seasons? For a total of 3 games? Anyone defending him explain how we are not supposed to be pissed off by that? No wonder we have a losing culture if that's acceptable.

This guy is an absolute myth. Top 5 worst buys in club history... up there with T Rex and Flanno. Even when fit does fuck all. He's had a handful of good games since he's been here and the rest of the time he's been off. What was it last year concussion? What a waste of cap space.

I'm sure Thompson won't get resigned. Gus has openly stated we are looking for props.

Hame Sele. I believe we are making a play for him. Not massive but a good option at lock.

I think y'all forgetting how young he is. Still makes plenty of mistakes, doesn't always make the right play at the right time. By the time he is 25 or 26 he'll have some serious games under his belt. He has so many more strings in his bow, can run, has a good short kicking game,massive boot and...

Because good teams develop players. We are going well in lower grades. We have a heap of money for next year but there is no one decent on the market in key positions that we need. Either has beens at the end of thoer careers or young under developed players. Until we get an established half...

Surely Perham is dropped

I had high hopes for CC. But his persistence with Perham is seriously making me question him. If you have shit game after shit game you get dropped. Simple. Look how ruthless the Roosters are

CC needs to hook Perham. Avo to FB

I would make these losers catch balls for 2 days straight

You watch Perham wo t get dropped. This is a fuckin farce. Guys is an absolute myth

Where the fuck was perham. Man he's hopeless

I saw him at win stadium on Sunday and looked to be still limping. Kiraz on the other hand was walking well.

He has never been a decent winger... too slow, questionable under the high ball and drops straight forward passes. He hasn't seemed out of place in the 2nd row. He won't get a contract extension so I'm not sure why you wouldn't get every last bit of value out of him. It's not like we are spoiled...

Okunbor has only really had 1 shocker when he was on the wing. He has actually played some solid footy and taking some of the load off the big boys with some solid carries.

Agreed

We should be up by 20. Mahoney is slow AF

How far is Booth off first grade?, that kid is a massive unit.

I know he cops a bit of hate on here, but Avo is growing on me. I might be off here but his defensive reads are getting better. Centre is probably the hardest defensive spot in a team, and Alamoti got exposed at least twice in the sharks game by Kennedy. I wouldn't mind resigning him for the...

He's 18 mate. I have said in other threads he's not ready. He has raw talent. He plays eyes up footy. He won't be elite until he's in his early 20s at the earliest.

I Think CC will perist until KO is ready to play 5/8 at NRL level and Burton learns how to control a team and adjust to being at 7. Then I think barring more Injuries Flanagan will have played his last NRL game because no other club will pick him up. At this point I wouldn't even offer him...

We should have gone harder for Adam Reynolds when we had the chance. Spend all our money on outside backs and edge forwards with no one getting the ball out to them or organising anything. Fuck we are bog average and will be until we get an established half. KO will not help. Sure he's better...

Wow. Get off your soap box. There are dozens are derogatory and offensive comments on here every day.. this is the hill you want to die on? This place is so racist xenophobic homophobic sexist bigoted and full of ignorant morons.... it's entertaining. Cripple is fairly mild in terms of being...

I have this idiot on ignore and he still annoys me. Eat a dick Flanagun

I'm just used to us being treated differently to other teams. The NRL is so biased towards us. I stand corrected. Sorry mate

It won't happen. I think it was either last year or the year before, the knights were struggling to field a team with what was left from their top 30 and didn't get an exemption. I remember O'Brien' sooking about it in a presser.

Training pads would do a better job....

He's getting paid above minimum salary... unfortunately can only play top 30 players. If it was the Rorters they'd get an exemption.

Agreed, we are still paying him under our cap thanks to the corrupt NRL. I bet the Roosters would get an exemption under the same circumstances

This 11 day stand down is shit. I get they are concerned for player welfare but RFM looked okay as he jogged off... wondering how that got a grade 1?

We have plenty of outside backs. Are player swaps still in existence? They were all the go the past few seasons....

Was solid under the high ball in tricky conditions. He fucked up a few passes, but he's young and only had a few first grade games. I think he could become a solid fullback in time

Okunbor looked a bit lost in defence but if he spends more time there I actually thought he played okay. Could do a job for us before we fuck him off at the end of the year and he might even get a contract elsewhere

RFM 2 weeks out will be tough to cover. Hopefully TPJ comes back in.

Fucccckkkkkk yeahhhhhhh

Oh wow Preston finger and king eye in one blow. We are fucked now

Preston has been such a find

OK with the kick... not bad

Just checked team lists. JT will be hard to contain at lock... fuckin massive. Cowboys bench looks ordinary though

I thought it was just a grade 1 calf strain?

Isn't TPJ due back this week?

Too bad it looks like we are putting him at FB. I hope Perham comes on really well this year and creates some real competition in our back line. JAC, Kiraz, Xerri, Crighton, Alomotti, Perham... drool

Running off kiks for that 1st try against the Tigers was nice

I actually don't mind this he has been doing well in cup. I have been pretty critical of dick fingers, but credit where credit's due. His confidence is up and I think he'll do well in this role.

I'm really nervous about this one... especially at belmore. We seem to have a knack of playing teams back into form. I was expecting a flogging from Storm and was stoked with the result. But whenever I think we are a genuine chance the boys break my heart. I'm praying this week will be different

The successful teams treat every game like this until they have bagged enough wins to play finals when they start rotating troops to keep them fresh for finals.

Burton is coping a fair bit on here.... I think what most of you are overlooking is that most teams have a halves pair that are dangerous and creative so put defences in 2 minds. Because flanno is so bog average the minute Burton has the ball in hand the focus is all on him. In general our...

And a million in bitcoin which the NRL audits will never be able to find.

I agree with the above. I have given him the benefit of the doubt. His trial form said it all for me. He was diabolical against the sharks
