Moga does his knee

[Guest]

For his size he is express

Yep...but for all his size, speed and power there is more there....a subtlety that belies all of that.

Have a look at what he does to get himself through for that try against Souths...the way he positions himself...also that break against Manly I mention...the footwork to do that was so subtle, yet so explosive...in basketball they call it the "first step" and he showed it all on that occaision...I wish I could get footage of it.

Another run against the Dragon at the SFS was out of this world too....after he took a bomb and what he did in the course of that run...well only a special talent could do that.

Just hope the kid can get through this mentally and come back to be the player he should be.

I agree mate, I dont think we have seen anything yet. There is MUCH more to come and I am looking forward to it, next yr would have been massive for him what a dam shame.

It's not good news for Tau Tau.

It will open the door for Adam Henry.

I would have BJ & SKD first choice centers with Adam Henry next in line. I would go with Tupou & Oldfield on the wings because I think Mini will be picked at FB.
RTS, I dont like him on the wing he has to much talent for wing. Obviously if Mini gets injured I would pick him at FB or otherwise I would be tempted to play him off the bench filling in at dummy half or playing 5/8.

Wing is such an underrated position, your back 3 play a very vital role in the modern day game.

There's no such thing as having 'too' much talent to play on the wing. Did you even re-read what you just wrote?

Adam Henry is a reserve grader.

haha. "he has too much talent for wing so with mini certain to be fullback, Id rather 2 less talented options on the wing and RTS can play 20s where his talent wont be wasted"

[Guest]

Meaning I believe he is a ball player, wasted on the wing.

Is that a bit clearer.

[Guest]

I was always going to be happy with BJ and SKD in the centres, and Moga spending a consistent year on the wing. I started a thread few months ago saying we were outside back short (of a premiership winning team). Now we are two short, and short on centre depth.

I feel sorry Moga, but the real issue for the roosters now is that his defence will not be worked on for another two years atleast now!

Who says he's out for the season? He could still play in round 1!!!

[Guest]

There's a bit here, but go to the 1 minute mark and the try he scores against Souths.

There was another break he made against Manly at the SFS which didn't lead to a try, but was absolutely explosive.

Thanks for posting that HH, he can do some freakish stuff, I had forgotten some of the things he's already done. I still stand by what I said as in he's not the quickest when getting going, looks great on the end of a backline or hitting a hole, but if he gets turned around in defence or gets the ball when standing still, it's not quite like turning the Titanic around, but it's close. I think that's the last I'll say about that part of his game, as I really do wish the young fella all the best, unfortunately he hasn't got much to look forward to in his immediate future, apart from surgery, recovering, rehab & then the much important strengthening & confidence building.

Where'd you get that from??

[stsae]

I'm sure i've see this movie before..

Young poly kid who we bring up through the ranks..

He kills it through the junior ranks,looking waay more advanced than other kids in his age range..

The Roosters supporter base hype the kid up..

Young bloke blows his ACL out early in his career..

Kid is never the same again..

Oh but I saw that movie first maaaaaaaaaaate.

Fark me, why is it our young guns get injured (Cordner, Cherro, Moga) but our useless hacks (Mini) don't?

Seriously has one of you run over a chinaman?

Chook.

Maybe it's bad karma from Mad Rooter In Honkers??? Some warped voodoo curse he put on the club???

Bumped into someone within who reckons it might only be a 4/5 month stint on the sidelines.
