Phil Rothfield delivers his fearless predictions for the 2012 NRL season

[TheLoneRooster]

Like it or not, Ricky is still the numero uno candidate to replace Smith.

Heaven help us if that is true because that would be to go backwards as far as I'm concerned. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

Rothfark is just a waste of space.
Some Lol quotes:

*Brian Smith to be first coach sacked

*Buy of the year – Chris Sandow
*On his day, the former Souths halfback is as good as Thurston

*Blues to finally beat Queensland

*Todd Carney to stay out of trouble, maybe

These are just his predictions. They are more to do with fantasy than fact because they have not yet happened.

We all have opinions as to how next year will go...He just gets paid to give his..

Like him or not, if you posted in this thread you are one of his biggest fans...

We can really only judge his predictions after the season has finished.

Let's hear some of our own chookpen predictions...

*St.George to miss the 8.
*Parra top 4.
*Mcguire to be fired by Russell who will take over the head coaching role at 5ouffs..
*Easts finish regular season 6th.
*Qld to win another SOO series.
*Carney to end up doing a stint inside..

Have a go, it is not difficult...

That picture could have been on the Roosters player profiles page if things were different.

Hindsite is a lovelty thing isn't it.
Unfortunately its the tool of the halfwit.
Which doesn't fit your profile John, be careful you might end up working at Ch9

Sandow on his day as good as Thurston, pllleeezzz!!!! The guy is a goose.

If Brian Smith gets punted and we look to replace him with Sticky, Elliot or Taylor we are absolute fools!!!!!! Craig Bellamy should be our number 1 target!!

[novice chook]

Can't say I'm in favour of Sticky returning to the Club - it's a huge backward step as far as I'm concerned. And it would be a shame after the positive steps the Club is currently making. Our recruitment is suspect enough without Sticky and his love of overspending on undeserving players. Look at the players he recruited to the Sharks - no real quality there was there, and if there was he soon turned it to mediocrity.

And there's suffering his post match speeches back at the club, which always reminded me of a politican seeking election, and whilst longwinded and robust told you absolutely nothing about the footy side of things. At least Smith gives a little insight into the players and what he has planned for the next few weeks.

Oh well, Nick P will do as he wishes as always, and us supporters just have to live with it.

Please don't go back to Ricky Nick! We've been there, he gave us the 2002 GF (along with a few helpful assistants), but after 2004 it all went downhill with recruitment. We are back on the right track with the youth policy and creating a new culture. Lets stick with that. If and when Smith goes, lets replace him with someone new and refeshing, NOT STICKY!

Easily fixed.

If Stuart comes, I go.

He would be the only person I would admit to hating.
