Roosters future...

[Guest]

Interesting to note that Tupou is more of a natural on the right. I was not aware of this at all. With Moga being a natural on the left, we could very well see Moga outside Jennings, and Tupou outside SKD. With Sheck at fullback...that is a frightening prospect for opposition teams.

Thought we signed Hastings.

The Roosters have not made any announcement, and I reckon they wouldn't announce it, even if they had come to terms with him, until the Dragons NYC season was over. Given it is a development competition clubs tend to spend the time and effort on those players that they hope will develop into NRL players at their club. If they sign elsewhere they are often just pushed aside. Think about the physical shape of Samisoni Langi, when he arrived at the Roosters. He had signed with us many months prior to his arrival and the Bulldogs appeared to have given up with his strength and conditioning work because he was not part of his future. It put back Samisoni's development back by a number of months. Hastings, may or may not be a Rooster next year, but I don't think it is in his, or our (if he does come to the Roosters), interest for any announcement on his future to be made whilst the Dragons are alive in the NYC competition.

Moga is not a centre, IMO.
So Moga outside Jennings is what I'd like to see trialled.

I've seen Moga play very well at centre but not yet in first grade.

I really hope Willis Meehan sticks to Rugby League rather than boxing. He seems a special talent.

He does. We have a few players who with some hard work can be special talents. Nene Mcdonald and Taane Milne are two others who have some strong attributes. It now takes a lot of hard work to go to the next step(fg) and even more hard work to make the step after that ( greatness).

Well if Willis sticks to Rugby League, in the next World Cup (4yrs) he'll be able to rep his fathers homeland Fiji, way to go!!

I don't think Siejka was one of the ones mentioned in Alan Katzmann’s article but this is a big call; here is a quote from the NRL site whereby they preview the Holden Cup for this week.

'Fullback Nene Macdonald was classy, brilliant and jaw-dropping as he made his way through 171 metres and 19 tackle-breaks. Future representative star Jack Siejka was also brave in defeat with two tries, 120 metres and 41 tackles.'

I post this in a positive light though. I was also wondering next year if anything (heaven forbid) happened to the Sheck (assuming Mini isn’t here) injury wise who would replace him? Macdonald sounds like an absolute cracker not only as a full back but possibly centre/wing.

Totally agree with Katzmann's article; if the Roosters hang on to most of these youngsters the future is looking very bright.
