Nawaqanitawase will play!

[Serenader]

What's his defence like? One on one tackles?

A strong defender from what I’ve seen. Very physical, same with the ball in hand. His positional play may be a different story this early in his NRL journey. Time will tell I guess.

Some of these blokes wouldn't be out of place in the forwards.

[Billy Gunn]

$1.54 to score on debut, I wonder if that is the lowest price ever?

[King Salvo]

Trying to remember how many players named Mark have played for the Roosters - Alan Katzmann named Mark Harris as the first and before tonight Mark Kheirallah in 2011 as the last.

[Crab]

There was Mark Protheroe in the 90,s

[The Lip]

Mark Mini

that great Rooster Mark Riddell - or was his first name Piggy?

[Steggles]

Mark Barnes in 93/94. I played footy with his older brother.

[Mickie Lane]

I think Marky Mark will play in the centres next year

[Renman]

The real upside of this game is I think we have found our new centre's for next year with Mark replacing Joey and Pauga replacing Joe with the prospect of Billy Smith too boot.

Some of these blokes wouldn't be out of place in the forwards.

Need to have a lower centre of gravity to be in the forwards though.

You don't just want a rangy 'big bloke' in the forwards like these guys as they'll just get turtled.

You want a nugget with dense bone structure.

Danny Nutley was still be a better prop than any of our current 3/4.

I think he will as well. If he is play wing he's going to need to push out Toops or Young which I hope doesn't happen. Shit I hope they don't try to make Dom a centre.

[kakaruk]

This bloke could be a really good centre imo

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Great signing. Kudos to whoever sourced this one. I'd never heard of him.
