Carney still at Fullback??????????

[Guest]

New Roosters boss Brian Smith has named recruit Todd Carney at fullback with Mitchell Pearce and Ben Jones in the halves, while Queensland State of Origin forward Nate Myles will play at lock.


Why persist with him there with Anasta injured.Trial Benny at Hooker he did so well there last week...

Well he did say he would try him there for a few games.

Ben Jones position is five eighth so let him play there to show what he has.

Looking like Ben Jones will be on the bench as the utility for most of the season. He can cover just about every backline position plus #9.

I dont understand carney at fullback.

I feel sick at the thought of skd in our 17.

I also do not understand myles at lock - he is furthest thing from a lock that i have seen.

This idea of Carney at fullback is making me ill.
The kid is an out and out 5/8th,why doesn`t Smith put him there and be done with it?argghhhhhh

Here we go again,an opinion is a crime
Sorry to upset you,but i dont believe Carney is a 5/8th,infact i believe Carney is potentially the best 5/8 th in the competition.
So why wouldnt i want him starting there for my club?

[Guest]

Thought it would have been a good time to give Foran, Arona, Fepului and Williamson a run, if Williamson was fit and ready. The starting team is more or less the exact same as last year just took away Fitzy and added Carney + Graham.

There's opinion and then there is predicting the future - how about you see it in action before giving an opinion? We can all rip Smith to pieces together if it's a dud.

Can anyone remember another team captained by a winger?
