Should Anasta remain in first grade?

[Geohood]

We need him with Pearce out now anyway.

[Andrew Walker]

You canniot keep doing literally nothing like he did tonight and keep getting selected

[fletch]

what we do know is Smith didn't want him to get a contract extension last time, we can thank Uncle Nick for that one, also Smith realised his workrate was not good enough for the backrow and tonight to start the second half he swapped Pearce and Anasta after his poor defensive effort in the 1st half, I get the feeling Smith is not happy with Anasta but the question is does he have the balls to drop him after the origin period.

we dont need him if he puts in that sort of effort

th guy is a absolute disgrace to his team mates the jersey and the fans.the sooner he gets stripped of captaincy and team spot the better.is it another one of politis ' bad decision making by keeping him there?

If he was going to get dropped it would have happended by now.
He hasn't had a go since 2010!
His place in the team is guaranteed no matter what he dishes up.

Thers is no better option. Anyone who reckons Morts is the real deal is kidding themselves.
There's a reason this bloke played second grade last year and can't even crack a bench spot this year.
Why does everyone suddenly love Morts? Or is it just the fact that Anasta is so useless?

Because the love for Morts is overriding our hate for Anasta!

Why do we have to wait until after the State of Origin period to drop an under performing player? The message would be better sent by dropping him when supposedly we need him to step up in the absence of Pearce.

Politis should let the football people run the football team. His wealth should not give him control/power over the team and decisions about player recruitment and retention.

Ditto.

I don't rate Mortimer as a 5/8. Too small. He's better off the bench as a rake.

Anasta is the only real option.

[The Brain]

Wrong Bansai I would give the keriehla kid a run he is killing it.The way I see it a hell of a lot of footballers can contribute to that position than he at the moment .

He should not be playing first grade for the Roosters

I don't think that we purchased wisely at the back end of 2011.

Our star 5/8th leaves our club, we go out and purchase another team's 5/8th and then persist for another year with this SH*T kicker (both meanings intended).

C'mon guys get serious. We've purchased Mortimer but he isn't tearing the house down and is a reserve grader at best. It's poor managment by our club.

I purchase a club membership every year, and buy merchandise for myself and my kids every year, and go to games every year. Most of you on the forum do the same as me.

The bottom line is that Bwaiff has to go and until he does I'm not going to go and watch any more games and flush my money down the toilet watching someone who has given up on us Captain the RWB. Jack Gibson would be rolling in his grave watching this crappy performance. The fact that his name will be in the history books under roosters captains makes me sick.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, next year needs to be the year where we start from scratch and I seriously would consider giving noyce the flick and bringing in someone like Malcolm Noad. He was the first person to recognize the bullduds we purchased and never took shit from anyone.He also drove the bulldogs into a formidable position both footy wise and marketing wise as well as building a great culture at a club which 2 years before he went there were on the brink of failure after the 02 salary cap rort.

Anyway that's my twenty cents

your opinion is worth more than twenty cents. nicely scribed.
i too buy merchandise. recently i sent my daughter some as she lives in the usa.she is 11.she wrote back i am a rooster fan forever.i mentioned in another post that it is a disgrace that anasta be our skipper when in the past we have had many a champion captain the team.i have followed them since 67. yeah 67 and never in my time have i felt so opposed to a captain.anasta cant compare with a coote brass artie fittller salvatori fitzy.he is not in their league. i support all other players and certainly not anasta and chairman politis nor ceo noyce. seeing noyce at the artie tribute was an embarassment.he was totally star struck and mostly looked like a shag on a rock.ceo material i dont think so.
