Martin 'the skirt' Keneddy

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

All I can say is Roosters fans are the biggest **** heads out there.

Seriously the amount of shit about changes etc this week is astronomically idiotic.

Sack him, drop him, move the janitor to centre, move the tea lady to fullback. Seriously have you guys noticed some of the absurd suggestions this week.

Most of us have no effing clue. Seriously.

Now that is said, we need to give every one of these 17 left, a chance to show they can click and the pre-season wasnt wasted.

If Roosters fans could stop for a moment, extract their hollow stupid heads out of their own arses, and let the team show what they are capable of, that would be a start. We demand patience of our playmakers, yet we dont have any ourselves.

If after 5 or 6 matches they arent perfroming, THEN we talk about dropping players.

At the momnet you have Souffs and Newcastle winning the comp - because were too dumb to think for yourselves so we swallow everything the dumbarse media tells us.

How will you handle it when Souffs start losing games, (and they will)? How will you be when we start winning games? Ill tell you......happy and back on the bandwagon.

If I was a betting man, Id be laying a wager Ankles hasnt stopped thinking about the bombed try, and the lack of venom in his runs. If I was a punter Id we betting he's filthy and itching to take on and prove his worth against the massive Kiwis this weekend.

Miniciello on the other hand, when is this idiot going to get out of the way!!!

Top post Melon, and absolutely on the mark.

Some of the posts on here are cringeworthy.

We're 1 game into the season FFS.......

But unlike many, he puts his hand up when he doesn't play well. He doesn't pick the team.

When he missed out on the vc and people question him, he simply said he has more to worry about in holding a spot in the 17.

When people asked him about Evans, he said if he doesn't improve, Evans will be ahead if him.

I'm willing to give him time.

Those bagging him because he is "soft", are probably those who said the same about Shillo. That worked out well.

good post

When is Tasi due back?

He can bend the line.

Tasi really seemed to fall out of favour last year with both the coach and supporters. I thought it had a lot to do with that idiot Smith and they way he used Tasi. I'm really looking forward to seeing him coming back and really living up to his obvious potential.

[Guest]

Marty needs to fire up as we need dominance from our front row to compliment our backrow, which is where I believe Tasi will be far more effective.

Chook.

i think once the boys find a win or two consecutivly they will gain momentum. its a confidence thing(what we lack) and a ability to chance the arm abit, knowing you have the boys around you to support .

[Arties Pie]

I think many a forward pack will be crushed by Souths this year, they are friggin huge and have good legdrive. I for one won't be asking for sackings based on losing to Souths.

What a stupid thread MK only played 31 minutes and gained more metres per minute than JWH.

JWH played 52 minutes for 108m and 33 tackles averaging 2.07metres gained per minute played and 0.63 tackles per minute played

Moa played 55 minutes for 106m and 22 tackles averaging 1.92metres gained per minute played and 0.4 tackles per minute played

JWH excellent and Moa very good and both are rightfully receiving praise around here

but take a look at Kennedy's stats below and I think it is amazing that he is being called things like softcock by a fair few people

Played 31 minutes 71 metres and 19 tackles averaging 2.29metres per minute played and 0.61 tackles per minute played

He should be averaging a lot more metres and tackles per minute he played 20 minutes less then the other two. He's a lot fresher then the other two!

Okay then lets compare apples with apples

The players below all played of the bench as props and played 25 - 40 minutes

Metres Per Minute
George Burgess 5.06
Neville Costigan 2.96
Tom Learoyd Lahrs 2.67
Jeff Lima 2.55
Darcy Lussick 2.44
Jason Ryles 2.33
Martin Kennedy 2.29
Jeremy Latimore 2.07
Ashton Sims 2.07
Ben Hannant 1.89
Richard Faaoso 1.75
Luke Bailey 1.55
Jon Green 1.34
Michael Weyman 1.30
Steve Rapira 1.27
Mark Nicholls 1.14
Aaron Woods 0.79
Matthew Bell 0.61

That is 7th out of 18 in metres per minute gained and notably all the players ahead of him except Learoyd Lahrs played in winning teams.

Tackles per minute played
Jon Green 0.84
Matthew Bell 0.80
Aaron Woods 0.79
Luke Bailey 0.78
Ben Hannant 0.78
Michael Weyman 0.73
Ashton Sims 0.67
Martin Kennedy 0.63
Neville Costigan 0.62
Tom Learoyd Lahrs 0.60
Jeremy Latimore 0.57
Jason Ryles 0.56
George Burgess 0.55
Mark Nicholls 0.50
Darcy Lussick 0.42
Steve Rapira 0.35
Jeff Lima 0.33
Richard Fa'aso 0.28

Thats 8th out of 18 must be a lot of softies on that list in your opinion?

[milanja]

Stats dont show the effect of those runs or tackles made. he made little impact for the team rd 1, as a fresh big man he should of made a bigger impact. Rd 2 is only a few days away so hopefully he can make most of us eat some pie.

Good stats or bad, I think it's fair to say he ain't the same player he was a few seasons back.

In saying that I'm prepared to give him time to find that form.

The foot injury has to have something to do with it mate.

He gallops into the defence now and he doesn't have the leg drive or power he used to.

Could be a level of confidence aswell. Who knows.

All that said I don't reckon he's 1/2 as bad as some of the loonies on here.

Calling the bloke soft for doing something they can't is rather soft IMO.

Miniciello on the other hand, when is this idiot going to get out of the way!!!

Unless some things change from the Souths game...we'll still be on zero points after '5 or 6 rounds' with our season basically over!

[Guest]

When Shillo played for us he was soft. What's your point?

the most idiotic statement made on here this season

congratulations 13!

If we get to that point will you self immolate?

Chook.
