Oldfield to Roosters for two years

[Guest]

Chook 1 Eskimo 0.

obviously Chook is a big brian smith fan, or possibly is brian smith. my point was a new coach is needed and gave reasons why. i know for a fact some of the players arent happy with smith because i speak with one of the starting players in the side. A few of the players also dont want $BW joining the team because he is isnt a team player and will always put himself above the team.... but hey, lets re sign smith and offer $BW a 1mill contract for 1year plus let him box on the side when he wants to.

Chook is one of smiths biggest fans here.

And that player you are referring to...he would be in the majority.

I don't agree with that at all. After Mason, Ogre, Myles, and Asotasi left, SBW was asked to be more than a team player, he was asked to be the team. Everyone rested on their laurels expecting SBW to be used as a battering ram and single-handedly win games for them. Even in his final year, I never saw SBW go missing in a game.

Given the choice of destroying their body, or elongating their career and earning a lot more money in the process, most players would have made the same decision.

I suspect it will be no different if he joins the Roosters Dice. So what happens then?

Our forward pack has been great this year. We haven't suffered from the loss of Myles and Ryles too much at all, to be honest. Our four big boppers are going from strength to strength, and with Evans, Liu, Tago and Napa waiting in the wings we have ready-made replacements. Cordner has really stepped up in Myles' absence, shouldering good workloads and having a few more strings to his bow than big Nate. Guerra and Arona have stood up as well, this year.

Graham going at first seemed an issue, but with Moga emerging and slowly establishing himself in first grade, I doubt we will lose much. Linnett is probably the bigger loss IMO. Leilua has been inconsistent at centre, and Tagive has been a bit up and down on the wing. Linnett wasn't a world beater, but he was stable, safe, strong and had plenty of speed in the open.

hey there mack you got it all in one. but so many rated myles. i cant under stand .

ryles is built from the same shyt hindmarsh. to toiler with a moral back ground. i think ryles and linnet were our biggest losses at the end of 2011.

Perhaps you should follow this advice as well

I would hope that psychos like JWH and Tasi would not rest on their laurels, and that they would instead compete with SBW for centre-stage.

[Chook Norris]

What it tells us is that our forward pack has a high performance ceiling, but haven't developed any consistency. Hardly any ground-breaking news, considering we all recognised at the start of the season that they were talented, but young.

I'd say FPN, Aubbo and Mose are the only legitimate disappointments. FPN is old enough to do better and Aubbo and Mose have higher expectations placed on them given their past experience.

indeed its a point of consistency. What we often see happening is our forward pack dominating the start of the match, and then not finishing off what they started.. as they and the team start to fall away and undo all their early good work.

Dice i cant name one other player in the history of the game to walk out of their club mid season without telling their own team mates they are running away and breaking contract. how you can even try and make an excuse for his is a worry. imagine pearce did that to us how pissed off and gutted everyone would be. its not like the bloke had 2 months left on his contract, he was at the start of a 4 yr contract. i think he is a great player and if we got him for 500 to 600k great, but the bloke wants to be the highest paid player in the game not to mention have his own set of rules where he can box on the side. No individual player should be bigger than our club.

Scum is scum Diceman, no matter how "honourable they are made out to be."

Again, if he comes, I go.

Jeez John, i know $BW is scum, but would you really walk away from your club if he signs??.... i think i would rather give up beer than give up supporting the mighty chooks, regardless who we buy or dont buy.
