more silly season rumours

[Guest]

I think it's awesome I was able to discuss Jimmy's retention without breaking my self imposed halfback bashing restriction.

I only take cash.

Do you have a leg to stand on having watched half a season of Mortimer struggling @ the Titans?

I've moved on from Dan. He never returned any of my calls.

Despite how much we all whinge, we have a great 6,7, and an even better 6/7/9.

And just possibly the best 1/6/7/9 in the comp in 2015.

All depends on how Sheck goes, based on what he's shown so far I think it's safe to say he wont fail miserably at worst he'll be a serviceable fullback but it's the unknown of whether he can really excel in the position and offer the team a spark from the back that will ultimately decide where our spine ranks.

If he can't I worry we just don't have enough points in us with the depature of SBW. What Sonny gave us in 2013 can only be compared to Carney in 2010 and Freddy in his prime. It's about being able to play outside of a structure and being able to own the key moments.

Pearce is an organiser who executes structural plays as good as anyone in the game, Friendy is the ultimate all rounder and Maloney is the definition of a support player in every facet. The icing on the cake now is to find that creative spark & if we can't I definitely think Jimmy's time here will be cut short, if it hasn't already been decided.

Ferguson's signing will turn out to be such an important one in regards to the balance of our team IMO.

That's being inflammatory Steve. You know he's only slightly more popular around here than Craig Field is at his local.

Anyone who thinks Maloney is better then Foran must have rocks in their head. Maloney was very average last year and was one of the big reasons we didn't go back-to-back. Foran in the complete package both in attack and defence. Every facet of his game is superior to Maloney bar goal kicking and that's where Hastings or Stapleton come in.

you might be right johny?

I'm always right, even when I'm completely and utterly wrong in every regard.

Jimmy is a much better hole runner. He's good for 15-20 line breaks a year at his best where as Foran is good for one every 6 months!

Foran is a quality player, but if Jimmy plays to his 2013 form then he's the most diversely talented attacking 5/8 in the comp.

Evans going nowhere


The Roosters have refused to release rising front-rower Kane Evans.

Several clubs are keen on Evans, a promising 22-year-old who made nine appearances for the Roosters last season.

Evans' management believes the Roosters have too many forwards ahead of the Fijian international in their pecking order and he has a better chance of holding down a regular top grade spot elsewhere.

But with doubts over the retention of star prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, who is in the sights of Canberra and Ricky Stuart, the Roosters have told Evans he is not going anywhere

Pls tell me we would not be silly enough to let JWH go in 2015. A year early. That would be ridiculous IMO.
