Miniciello has to go.

[Guest]

ah good to see were keeping the tradition of signing useless retards alive next season with that terrific signing. Farkkkk myyyyyy anussss please it will be less painful. How ****ing stupid are these people

[Guest]

Mini is history.

We just signed Watts for two seasons so Koups is history too.

Watts?

Source?

No problem at all with Perrett and SKD today, they did all that was asked for them.

At the moment I'd like to see:

1. Josh Dugan
2. Sam Perrett
3. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
4. Kane Linnett
5. Joseph Leilua?
6. Todd Carney
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Jason Ryles
9. Jake Friend
10. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
11. Frank-Paul Nuuausala
12. Mitch Aubusson
13. Nate Myles

14. Anthony Watts/Ben Jones
15. Tom Symonds
16. Mose Masoe
17. Martin Kennedy

Bye bye Anasta, Minichiello, Graham, Kouparitsas, J Aubusson, Paea. I have no problem with guys like Conn, Guerra, Baitieri sticking around for depth either.

Maybe blood that massive Cheyse Blair kid for the wing spot taken by Leilua, or possibly even Fine Moeakiola. Also, if Dugan doesn't come, we have the option of sticking Towers or Jones into fullback, OR Perrett to fullback and Kheirallah onto the wing. Plenty of options.

apart from Dugan, thats still probably the slowest backline in the comp. Theres no substitute for speed. My kingdom for a locke / K Gordon

[fletch]

Leilua doesn't have the speed for the wing, maybe push Linnett onto the wing and Leilua into the centres.

I don't agree with putting Joseph Leilua on the wing. It will ruin his development IMO. He is coming along very nicely at the moment playing in the centres or in the backrow. If we get Michael Gordon, he can slot into that vacant wing spot and the backline will be complete IMO. Cheyse Blair will play NRL next season IMO. I wouldn't mind seeing Fine Moeakiola on the wing, but he is currently out I believe. I'd like to see more of Mark Kheirallah. He has been on fire in the NYC notching up 15 tries for the season and was the leading try scorer going into today's match. I'd like to see Luke Towers given a go at fullback. He's a good player who has been developing nicely at Newtown. I'm sure he will get a run before the year's done and will be watching his progress very closely.

Blind Idiot, I see you have conveniently forgotten the ball he fumbled that led to their second try? What about his kick returns? As limp as old lettuce. He is hopeless.

No, I haven't. But I'm ready to let it go - it was wet, cold and the conditions were very tough. Regardless, Graham should have stopped Locke in the corner.

His kick returns? 131 metres. Sure, he got a hit or two put on him, but he took a majority of balls on the full, and was where he needed to be.

For weeks on end, idiots like you call for Carney to play 6, so Braith can get out of the way/go to lock. But when it happens, you find some other garbage to carry on about.

Pull your head in, you mindless fool.

[Guest]

I have to agree with BlindFreddy here!
Imagine Carney under the high ball in those conditions.They would have beat us by 20 if Carney was fullback.I know who i'd rather at the back in those conditions!

the fact that mini can do a better job at the back than carney is not something to brag about. Carney aint a fb...

Well what is your solution then mate?
Perrett dropped the ball COLD on a few occasions today.
Do you want to put him there?
At least the one's Mini dropped had some degree of difficulty to them!

[Guest]

paea certainly has fallen from grace with a few of you lot

[Guest]

Blind Idiot, show me a post where I said Braith should be lock please.

[theGman]

A.Watts > Roosters

where is it confirmed we have signed Watts?

That Fat Greek Zorba (P.Peters) more or less indicated he was Bondi Junction bound again.

Just thinking that if he & Dugan do come to the Roosters, we will have a first grade line-up of bad boys .

Hey Toss Of Kock, now there's something to get a fat over......i'm sure you or one of your moronic colleagues @ the Tel-u-crap will write a 2 page spread about it!

I dont want Watts!
He has got to be one one of the grubbiest dog ****s running around in the NRL!

[Vasco]

What a load of garbage.

Minichiello didn't play badly at all - his positioning was spot on, and he got through a lot of work.

He dropped a towering bomb, in the pouring rain, with howling winds.... let's just say neither young Todd nor Sammy Perrett would have done any better.

If you want someone to blame, then look at Phil. Graham is a fool. Can't defend (no way Locke should've been allowed to score), gave away a try (yes, Ward is a ****wit, but there shouldn't have been a decision to make in the first place), runs slowly for someone that is supposed to be lightning, and is soft when running.

You certainly live up to your name if you don't think Mini is a joke.

It's sad that this great player is now officially a has-been. In fact, he is a manifestation of the term "has-been".

its not about who else dropped a ball...the fact of the matter is fb is a very important role, and Mini is the weakest option. Id take Perette over him at fb anyday, or even a jnr as a stop-gap solution until we can recruit a Dugan type player or develop a classs fb. Mini is a has-been

According to rleague.com & nrl.com stats Perrett missed a tackle but no errors. Tele Fantasy League has him for 1 error n 1 missed tackle.

Cannot remember him dropping the ball but I can remember the Beast getting past (can't remember him getting tackled one on one much).
