Falou and Sbw Roosters in 2013.

[Guest]

All this crap about Folau's body shape changing. Putting weight on is pretty easy. Losing it is the hard part. If he came back to league it would only take few weeks to put the weight back on.

What about signing some decent front rowers!

[The Rooster Oracle]

We have SBW, so the only question is who would you rather between Folau and Lewis? Sure it would be great to have both but then we aren't the dogs who just have blatant disregard for the cap. I would go for Folau as he is younger and our backrow is stronger than our outside backs. If we are unable to get Folau then still go after Lewis and make room for him to slot into the backrow. Can you imagine Folau/Lewis on one side of the field and SBW on the other? Holy $hit we would have the most devastating attack in the comp along with Maloney and an improved Pearce under a new coach with proper structure!!

I'm convinced that you like sitting at the bottom of the ladder roz.

Don't need Falou or Lewis?

We'll just keep on letting teenagers try and do a man's job for a few more years then shall we?

I wouldn't say we need Falou mate. He's a weapon sure, but I can't recall ever seeing him create.

We need some players with brains and experience. We need someone who can execute plays under pressure.

Baloney, $BW and Lewis fit that category IMO. Maybe with them a Folau would be dangerous.

On the end of our current back line he'd be like the rest of them, average.

afl wont let falou play in west sydney

How could they stop him???

The day we let gAyFL dictate who can play where, especially Leagues heartland in Sydney the west, in Our game will be the day I know we have truly lost the plot.

They Can't and won't, my sources at GWS say he is odds on to be at Whatsamatta

Anyone who doesn't think we need Falou or doesnt want Falou is on drugs!

Also, funny how so many of us on here have sources yet nobody ever seems to know anything!

He ain't a 6 or 7...he's a finisher!
We need someone who can score 14 odd tries a year, is fast and can catch a bomb. He'd also make a great fullback I reckon.

I don't disagree mate, but as I said in this current team now, without playmakers, what good would a good finisher be???

As I also said with blokes like Baloney, $BW and Lewis inside him, that's a different story of course.

I don't see Folau as a priority over some experienced smart playmakers. IMO we don't need him as such, not like we need some players with brains.

I am pretty sure that Falou will get a release only if he doesn't sign with the Eels, Tigers, Panthers and Bullscums.

Reason is they are all western sydney clubs, hence the reason for his release as that was made public cause Parramatta had a done deal with him but was rejected earlier on in the year cause of that reason.

[Guest]

what the hell would parramatta do with him - they have hopoate going there in a year or so among others:
1. Hayne
2. Sio
3. Loko
4. Tonga
5. Hopa

how about some decent forwards or halves

So if he just wants to walk from his contract how are the gAyFL going to stop him playing for whatever League side he wants to???

Call the cops???

I don't get it. It's not like the Boggs and $BW situation. It's a different code.

Why would our commission accommodate a rival codes request like that???

I don't get this line of thought.

Unless they PAY him not to play for certain sides??? That's different, but why would they??? If he comes back to League for NQ it's gonna effect the gAyFL the same way, why throw $$$ away for nothing???

[Guest]

In my opinion Moga and SKD will look as good as Falou with Maloney feeding them ball and a structure to our play. Until we find structure all the finishers in the world are not going to help us. I also still think Leilua is a backrower, meaning I think we are 1 or 2 outside backs short. Here is hoping RTS meets all expectations, because Mini is dusted....

It's come a full circle.

I'm pretty sure either Brain or me imagined it up.
