Crapasta at it again: "Roosters captaincy a burden"

[davos]

Maybe Braith just wasn't suited to be a Captain, some people just aren't up to it, Brian Lara & Sachin Tendulkar both weren't suited to it even though they were great players, it certainly sounds like it created more stress for him than any joy. He may well improve & become more involved now that he is the third in line, where all the attention will be on Benji & Farrah.

Disclaimer: In no way known am I drawing any comparison at all to the talents of two of the greatest batsmen to have played cricket to Braith's RL talents

LMFAO, I needed that laugh today. If you were drawing comparison, it would be like comparing Muhamed Ali to Mundine.

Up until 2011, I didn't hate bwaiff, but I just couldn't understand what people saw in him when they drew comparisons to him being the next freddy. When he went to slothfield and his dirty mates and started bitching about why we hadn't re-signed him in 2011, that was when I started hating him. He's gone now.... I know because I have to pinch myself everyday when I wake up and so are Noyce, Smiff and son, and some other players we didn't need (mose and cherro). I can only see blue skys ahead.

I can't wait to get up on the table at easts club and singing easts to win in september.

ill bet hell have eyes in the back of his head on sat night? go for it jwh!hes glad, Re even gladder, should never have taken the captaincy from fitzy, big sook

Guys, stay on topic and keep any racist comments out of it. If you see a comment that you aren't happy with, then report it and we'll look into it.

[Darkone]

Gotta hand it to Braith

living up to his reputation as the most OVER RATED player in the history of league...

is very difficult indeed



really enjoy now having the most UNDER rated 5/8 in the game

[stephenj]

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

I had to laugh when he said he "wears his heart on his chest".

I think he meant on his sleeve.

No, not really.

His quotes sound Sentimental and lethargic, his efforts on the field you would call "non- existent"

Quick! everyone post something that contradicts this........Anasta was so nice with the fans and the kids..........He kicked a field goal.

[Headless Chook]

I had an Anasta moment at work today. I travel around for work and visit different offices and one of the guys I visit is a passionate Roosters man, has a big poster of the team on his office wall. I walked in there today and there's Braith's big smile front and centre from last years poster on the wall. I said to the guy, surely you can remove that from your wall and get rid of the smiling imposter. He said no way, Braith was the best thing about our team and the only one to have a dig last year. I knew then I was in the presence of a special one and quickly extricated myself from the conversation!

Yes he did kick a field goal and it will go down in history. That game is still to date the highest selling DVD from the NRL archives. Even people who don't follow us have purchased it for the sheer excitement. It's so easy to jump on the hyper critical bandwagon and take cheap shots. I for one am very grateful my team made it to a grand final the year after getting a very embarrassing spoon. If I was bagged out as much as Braith has been over the years, I'd want the right of reply too..

[redwhiteblue]

People need to get over Anasta.

It's retarded.

I wasn't a fan, but I didn't hate him as much as some of you.

I hope he has a good crack at the Tigs. Good luck to him. He certainly wasn't and isn't a bad human or a dirty player.

All the vitriol about him here is frankly weird.

Must be some other shit coming out. Gay feelings or something.

Peter Sterling said as much a few years ago when Braith was a guest on The Sunday Footy Show. He's a nice guy, kind to his mum and children, has always had nice looking girlfriends, tall, dark, handsome, articulate, athletic and money in the bank too..

Oh, yes the man is a nightmare isn't he?

The way some people carry on, you'd think he was a serial killer.

[The Axe]

In the telegraph article he talks about having "a target on his back" with roosters supporters after he signed with the tigers

Braith, you had a target on your back BEFORE you signed to leave, because for 7 seasons you played like a fraud. After you signed to leave, all there was was relief

God he can talk some shit

Brilliant post

Serial killers can be good looking and pick up the hot chicks too. This guy though is more your white collar criminal type. The problem is he was paid an awful amount of money to play football but barely could be bothered to raise a sweat for the most part and when it came around to contract renewal time was always whinging to the press about waiting for a new deal and playing the hard luck story. Seems like a leopard cannot change his spots. I hope he gets knocked unconscious on Saturday night.

I think you realised then that you were in 'One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest'.
