Forget SBW, chase Michael Jennings

[Rocky Rhodes]

Apparently Michael Jennings is been shopped around. So why not get an X-factor in a position we need instead of Sonny Dill, we don't need another second rower.

Need X-factor: Check
Need centre: Check
Need speed in backs: Check

Imagine this backline next yr:
Minichiello
Moga
Jennings
SKD
Tagive
Maloney
Pearce

Could make me turn up to games again.

Funny stuff Rhodes. knowone cares if you turn up to games or not. Comparing the 2 is some of your best work. Keep it up.

Tupou

Mate the Roosters are no longer in the market of buying over-rated 1 good game 3 ordinary game players.

Believe me Jennings will NEVER be a Rooster.

He is on 600k plus sponsorship $$$$, they claim is contract is worth around 700 per season. No one is going to pick that up, even if the Riff tip in its still a huge amount of cash to sign this guy. I would prefer we signed the best NYC backs and bring them through, which is what we should have been doing the last few years.

That is not the point of this thread you dribbler. Yeah one is a origin player, the other is a has been who sent more time off the field than on it (popping his shoulder many times). Actually is not about the comparison, it's about buying to fill needs.

I would prefer we challenge for a comp in 2014/2015 not 2020. We have enough neville park footballers, we need at least one x-factor.

And obviously he will be taking a paycut.

Not the first time I have been called a dribbler, but another prima donna, who hasn't got the best hammys in the world, on big $$$? I would take Sonny Dill (as you say) in the centres over Jennings any day. In saying that our future centre had a good game on the wing last week.

How much of a paycut will he take? no one walks away from 700k. To sign him u need to spend big bucks, I would prefer Gaigai for a third of the price. Its not realistic what ur suggesting.
Easts have learnt the HARD way U dont sign players like him, not sure how long u have been following the club but any long term rooster will agree.

Of course you are on the mark.

Pay peanuts and you get monkeys. Every club splashes out on at least one big name player. If SBW is not coming, he have money to spend.

Unless we get at least one match winner, we are not gonna challenge. It's that simple.

[Guest]

Yes sign him up.

Speed to burn.

Allusive try scorer.

Is there a discount ?

Apart from freddy name one big name we signed in the modern era that was worth it? just one

If u can name one I will name 20 that were not

I like Jennings but unless Moga turns out a flop which is highly unlikely we should chase Jennings. We dont know what Moga could become, how good he can be so why put him at the wing when he might be the next greatest centre of the game or the next Inglis only with consistency and if he also gets good coaching and plays around good players he'll be better than zjennings and SBW. Jennings is good but I reckon if Jennings played for Storm, Broncos or Manly he'd be the best centre in the game right now. Fortuneately for Moga hes surrounded by Pearce, Mini, Maloney in 2013, JWH and a great forward pack. I think Smith is a good coach but the problem is his decisions we wouldve won against Dragons, Warriors and not gone down by massive margins against Storm and Cowboys if he was more hard on Anasta pulled him out of 5/8 and took out J Carney earlier. Grow some balls Smithy!!!!!
He was never intimidated by hindmarsh at the Eels or Gidley at Knights but always does what Anasta wants which is not leting our team reach its full potential!!!!!!

Just buy them all & continue to be duds.

Goat we are not in the market of buying mugs.
