Michael Jennings to become a CHOOK

[Guest]

Whether people realised it at the time or not, our 'over spending' on Nate Myles @275k turned out to be the better buy (although I'm sure some will debate that, it's impossible to ignore how important his workrate was to our team).

It gives me the shits when people put crap on Myles..

Tasi is very much a stand-and-deliver type of player, loving the shoulder charge and preferring to run straight at defenders.

But knows he has to broaden his game to succeed and is working on it accordingly.

"It just means I've got to work on the wrestle a bit more," he said of his tackling technique.

"I'm also working on tipping the ball before the line, instead of just tucking it under my wing and running."

One of the few that actually did put in when the going got tough.

The only 2 biggest forwards we have are Marty and JWH, Kane is very strong for a young kid but you are talking about NRL forwards here, not Jets or u20s.
consider the speed plus that collisions, umm...wrong called. If we want Kane to be the force in the future, then we can not rush him. If the coaches come up with an idea play to use these guys, then we might be ok...I'm talking about quick feet just before they get to the tackle player (contact) but target or step to the weak shoulder, 50%/50% they will get tackle but not too hard on the body or they might go through by putting the opposition players in 50/50 mind (undecided) but that just a one part of the game, the other part is defence, who will get pull in to cover those mis tackle from the young fella, because defence it's about trusting your inside to cover your back side if the ball carrier step you.
just a thought btw.

obvious you forgot samoa.

Fat Hodgo was the best centre we've signed since the '70's..

Jenko is an exciting talent,& i'm stoked beyond belief that we signed him,but he still has it all to do compared to Fat Hodgo,who has done it all..twice..

The circumstances under which he left the club were dodgy,but that doesn't take away from the fact that he was nearly unstoppable at times,his defence (bar the '04 GF) was water tight,& he was a big reason why our left side was so strong during his time here..

I don't like the bloke,but when he's not hurt he's one of the best backs in the game..

Fat Hodgo was the last good centre we've had, I agree.

Did Terry Hill play centre or wing for us?

Has anyone actually ever seen the report? I thought they kept it secret to protect the innocent?

What gets me is how they managed to find News innocent, sack the directors keep it our of court, make Waldron disappear and still have the whole world thinking what great blokes Cooper Cronk, Billy, Smith Inglis and Belly are.

Bizarro

Mate it was posted here a month or so back. It is a very lengthy legal report/document but the sections that relate to POS were not good. I'm not sure where to locate the report but someone else may know.

(edit_ sorry - just realized it has already been posted)

centre

centre

Remember Hill also played some fullback for us as well. His best days were when he was at Centre. Others may disagree but he was a huge loss when he left. He started off indifferently then hit a purple patch before signing with Wests and fell apart then.

He fell apart when Bozo found out he was fillin his daughter in, lets face it, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

So no one got my pun about Myles..

Bummer..

You can't really complain about Tethzza's performances for us..He was better than most in an average side..

But his heart was never in it with regards to being a Rooster..

The draft was the only reason he was here..& he fought tooth & nail not to come..

I didn't at first but, then looked at it twice and I wasn't sure if you were serious or not.

can't have upset Bozo too much - Hill ended up marrying her

[Guest]

Hill's only game at fullback for us was his last..

We got smashed 48-14 at Endeavour field..
