What are you reading into my posts?

Where did i mention either Fitzy or Ricko?

They both Captained our club through disasteress times..

Yes..

BUT..

Ricko was captain for 5 minutes..

& Fitzy never had a 60 on his record as captain..Or had his teams turn it up on him..

Anasta seems to have mastered this..

[Guest]

Are you Anasta's mum?

The guy is our captain & highest paid player..

He has captained us to 5 or 6 of the worst losses in the history of our club..

& he has accomplished this in 20 months on the job..

I think you will find the buck stops with him..

Our captain & highest paid player..

You know the guy..

I'm able to watch the game without bias, and lay the blame across the people who performed poorly instead of dumping it all on one bloke.

Big ****en deal,They also won GFs for us and played in one of the most dominant sides we have ever had.What has Anasta achieved with us 1 semi finals appearance in 4 years thats what.

So you're another who blames Anasta as the main reason??? Bloody idiot!

Anasta needs to stay well clear of the ball...stick to tackling you useless prick.

This guy is reminding me more and more of Finch every week. Finch plays with heart and passion but is an absolutely average first grader.

I can't believe people go on and on about him on this forum.

Spot on mun, i've been thinking the same thing for the last couple of weeks.

If only braith didn't have a nice set of teeth, he would be bucky mark II and FOBA would be well established by now.

Anyone who thinks Anasta is earning his coin as our Captain & Marquee guy is an idiot

I don't solely blame him for our loss..

I just don't forget he is our captain & marquee signing..

No you ****en moron I just think he is over rated and being paid way too much money Quite simple he is not earning the money he is being paid.

1 semi final appearance in 4 years with us is testament to that

an outsider's opinion

the Roosters are a better team with Anasta then without him... good runner, strong defender, good kicking game, experienced etc.

but i also think the Roosters are better served with Carney at five eighth

so you are having a bet each way

I truly dont understand Anasta kicking game. To me he seems to just get in the way.

[Guest]

so you are having a bet each way

at the beginning of the season, i thought -

1. Minichiello
6. Carney
7. Pearce
8. Myles
9. Aubusson, J.
13. Anasta

14. Jones

now i'm not sure Myles can handle prop as he has dropped a lot of weight... otherwise, i still think the above is the best line up in the core positions

Guys, we lost across the park today. We did not lose because of 1-2 players.

Did you hear the ferocious tackles they laid on us? Luke Lewis et. al. shook our backline each time we had the ball. I changed my opinion of this Penrith team after watching them today. They will make the top 6 based on this performance. Big, strong and fast.

We were beaten in every position from 1-17. I'm sure each of our players tried their best but now is the time for Smith to make some tough decisions and move some players on and move others into their correct positions. Smith has the wisdom and experience to do this. He should, by now understand our players' strengths and areas of improvement.

Blaming Anasta is fruitless. True, he made some errors today, but he was not Robinson Crusoe.

Penrith was the 1st team to test Carney under the bomb. He also failed the test. Is anyone blaming him? This would also be fruitless IMHO.

Instead of blaming individuals, let's ask Smith to make some rightful decisions and help the team achieve its potential. If this means moving Anasta to the forwards and Carney to 5/8 and Minii to FB; then so be it; but please don't blame the players.

Be patient for a few more weeks. After that; then Smith needs to deliver the team as the correct package with players in their rightful positions.

I don't know who told these blokes they're all Sonny Bill Williams, but they've got the offloading skills of a quadriplegic.

Kouparitsis is deluding himself. He can tackle and pass, but his kicking game is about as existent as the Loch Ness monster.

Lopini Paea is all potential and no heart. We need the opposite. FPN made some improvement, but **** me he's got a long way to go.

Ryles was solid, sure. But we didn't sign him to be solid. We signed him to lead the pack. We need some grunt, some fire and some heart. A Civoneciva. Ryles isn't it at the moment.

Jesus, JWH better be as good as they say, or we're boned.

Not even Pearce/Carney can win games with this lot going backwards.

Only people who can hold their heads up after that performance are Myles, Aubusson, and SKD, who ran well at times.

Pearce and Carney tried hard, as did Anasta, but all three were poor. Braith, as much as you're a top bloke who cares about the club, you need to lift, badly, or there's the door.

Still though, it isn't quite panic stations yet. The Panthers, when you look at it, are a damn good team. Civoneciva, Waterhouse, Pritchard, Lewis, Jennings are all stars, and game-winners on their day, and the rest of them, Walsh, Coote, Gordon, Tighe, Paulo, Grant, Kingston etc. are all very capable. There isn't a weak link in that side, tbh. They aren't playing to their full potential, but if they do, they'll go a long way.

At least Smith will do something if this continues.

Until then, all hail JWH, saviour of the RW&B?
