Nick Kouparitsas

[Guest]

Can we call Nick Kouparitsis a modern day Nat Wood????

Damn you SuperMario, you stole my line.



Crikey, if someone had told me Nat Wood looked like that, I would have gone to more Roosters games in the 90's.

On a lighter note, do you think that we can ask Robert Wagner to give Nick Kouparitsas swimming lessons.

Or get him to have an affair with Christopher Walken.

I still remember the speech he gave to Nick when he gave him his father's football.


"This football...this football was in your Daddy's hands when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured, put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew if the gooks ever saw the football it'd be confiscated, taken away. The way your Dad looked at it, this football was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slopes were gonna put their greasy yella hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something. His ass. Five long years, he had this football up his ass. Then he died of dysentery, he gave me the football. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of leather up my ass two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the football to you."

wouldnt be surprised if he ends up at the sharks

He's gonna have a blinder on Sunday and humble pie will the order of the day. Not that that will matter cause someone else will be brought forward to suffer the slings & arrows.

[novice chook]

they are not re signing him

I hope to god you're right PG, but until he manages to sign on the dotted line for another Club I'll be nervous of suffering another season or two of the bloke whose major contribution to the team is his bike riding on the sideline.

Someone should suggest to him that he try out for the Tour De France. That would at least get him out of the country which would be a start.

would be the first blinder of his career, so we can only hope

Mate all you guys like doing is bagging Koups when he has done nothing wrong, Brian has him there for a reason, can play a few different positions and the team is running 2nd, why change a balanced team. I guess all you so called experts no more then the coach. Give the guys a break.

You must be dreaming of the day there is no cap. Ahh, to have a team of superstars in every position.

i said nothing about having a superstar in every position
the fact is koups is there for either back row, or hooker, and he isnt in the top ten back rowers at the club, or in the top 5 hookers at the club

I agree 100%. Supporters of this club need to have blind faith in the coach. The coach is always right. The coach is never wrong.

It was correct to waste a huge chunk of the salary cap on Wille Mason and Mark O'Meley.
It was correct to let Adrian Morley go back to England because of 'salary cap constraints'.
It was correct to let Braith Anasta play out of position for the best part of five years.

We should never criticise the coach, because evidently coaches of the Roosters have always been right. How dare we have the gall to express an opinion that might challenge the view of the coach?!

Come on, give the guys a break! We need to accept mediocrity and never criticise anything!

But does both okay. Fancy having a utility in the team.

I don't think he is the best player either, but has a place in the side until we find an alternative to fill the roll.

Maybe just stop whinging all the time. The balance of the team looks good at the moment. I know it is just passion for the team we love, and an opinion, but lets sit back and enjoy the ride.

Not much to complain about at the moment.

[Guest]

we could go round in circles for hours, my point is i dont see the need for him, he offers very lttle in the back row, and not much more at dummy half, and i dont see smith, farrah, ennis, ballin, luke, n friend, priddis getting replaced when fit, and every week we have either, conn, jwh, mose, kennedy, symonds playing for newtown who would be a much better addition to the team

this is just my opinion though remember, i did say at the start of the thread it doesnt bother me what smith does with the team

[Guest]

He doesn't play long enough for me to care whether he is dynamite or just sufficient at what he does. To be honest I'd settle with competent. What I do have a problem mistakes he makes for what litttle time he's on. He does those stupid ground passes every game! And unlike any of the other players that can make mistakes ala SKD he doesn't offer anything to cancel it out.

I have faith in Smith but damn I do not get this one.

So Humble pie for you coming up. Would that be be with non-fat cream for ya?

There's always one. Loves to complain, bag, criticise, whatever it takes to bring the club down when it's going well.

Reality is, Brian Smith knows infinitely more than anyone on this forum when it comes to rugby league.

Reality is, the team is winning far more than it's losing.

Reality is, Koops will get picked, week in, week out.

Wake up.
