Chad Has a new nickname

[On the Nose]

We have NEVER played well when Teddy has been our main play maker on the edges.

TBH I don't recall Teddy playing in the halves (not starting anyways), although it's hard to believe he was worse than our current pairing.

Old nickname... Chad


New nickname... 'old'... because old kicks to Young

I’m talking about what he plays out the back as a playmaker…like last night.

I wouldn't move him as he's absolutely killing it at #1 right now and that's been one of our highlights. Could be wrong but I feel as though he simplifies Young's work too by saying 'FOLLOW ME!!!' then knowing that he's got rugby league's equivalent of Usain Bolt on his tail if he can create a bit of an overlap.

People bag Young but I reckon he's getting selected because Teddy's got full confidence in him.

IMO we just need our HB to improve his last tackle options. Coz... we have none at the moment!!!

hypothetical question....


it's gf day 2025 roosters have a miraculous second half recovery to makevthe finals, sam walkers round 11 return ignited a run of 11 straight victories, along with the return of favourie son mitchell pearce .

alas sammy gets his jaw broken in the prelim win over Brisbane.


Thracian who plays half ? townsend or pearce ? cant pick one of the young fellas

100% Pearce. Particularly if we’re playing the Doggies.

Teddy's passing is not consistently good enough to play in the halves. He would be great in the running role but the guys outside him wouldnt see much good ball except when they backing him up on a line break

[Roosterfarian]

I much prefer when Teddy sticks to the middle. He is more effective there. Unfortunately Robbo has no choice but utilise him on the edges as a playmaker as the other two are deadset useless.

We're now 16th on the ladder, only saved from last place by our for and against being slightly better than the Eels.

Surely, surely, this must be the catalyst for change.

In the only game we've won...the starting front row was Whyte, Watson, Losalu.
The second row was Crichton and Wong.
Lock Foketi.
Halves Townsend and S Smith.
Wingers Young and Tupou
Left centre Marky, right centre Toia
FB Teddy

Interchange

Docker C
Makatoa (105 kg tackle efficiency 97.1%)
Steep
Savala

that's the only team that has won a game.

Have Losalu and Makatoa been sighted on the field since?
