We Need To Sign James Graham

[Guest]

Agreed with most here. Graham isn't needed - we are one of the few forward packs where someone like Mose Masoe can't get a look in.

The outside backs are the issue. Other than Minichiello, only the right hand flank of SKD/Perrett is confirmed. Graham is good but question marks have been raised about him, Linnett is still young, Leilua needs more experience, Justin Carney is returning from serious injury, and Pritchard, Naughton, Blair, Kheirallah, etc are all untested.

There is no doubt on Morley.

Once again you prove that you are not a roosters fan.

Put that with your comments on Crock and there can be no doubt.

I do agree that Shillo was always going to be great - but I am one of those that believe he went there for massive bucks. We had to spend our money on Mason and O'Meley instead.

Morley circa 2002 would be no doubt whatsoever. But Morley of 2010 would be highly doubtful in my opinion.

I take it you didn't see him play this year? He wasn't nominated for RLIF Player of the Year for nothing.

Kennedy will be one of the best props in the nrl in a few years. Smith should play him off the bench in 2011 and he should take over Ryles starting spot in 2012!!

The hype over Graham is incredible. The guy is a hoax.

Kennedy is the new Webckie, without the drugs. Will crack the qld team in 2011. Kennedy and Mathew Scott, being similar players, with Shillo, will be the prop rotation. Myles and Thaiday the second rowers. Petro will probably retire.

Kennedy to play for Aust in 3 years. Needs to be signed long term. He always bends the line, like FPN used to do before he went to Jenny Craig.

Current nrl pommies Burgess and Ellis, make Graham look like dancing Dallas Hood.

Was talk that Kennedy might chose NSW.

We are fine for Centres. Graham killed it there when he played there, Linnett killed it when he played there, and Leilua looked dangerous there as well.

The bigger problem is left wing. Graham always looked way more comfortable at centre that bringing back kicks, same story for Linnett, Leilua has real defensive problems there and Carney is a midget.

I think Graham will be a star. He's been carrying that St Helens pack for years. If he can get into a team where he can pick and choose when to inject himself he will be so much better for it. Give him 18 months under a good coach and he will blossom. Having said that, I would wait until we are into next season to see if we need him.

Graham is a stop gap player.

Linnett tapered off towards the end of the season. I believe Leilau will overtake him as our left centre.

A knee injury will do that to you. Imo BJ doesn't have the speed to be a centre whereas Linnett has blinding speed when he gets going and has a good footy read. I'd love to see him and SKD as our center pairing for years to come.

Chook.

Sorry Chook...

Linnett is a myth!

[Guest]

We have the best young forward pack in the league. We don't need to spend excessive amounts of money on a forward when all we really need is some outside backs.

Linnett is a myth!

Can you expand on that with some thorough critical evaluation? Or did he jump in front of you once in the queue at the TAB.

Get off the smoke. How can a bloke be a myth when he hasn't been built up too anything real special. Apart from roosters supporters, who see something in the kid, he is far from a myth, but has lived up to everything that has been thrown his way.

We don't need to sign any new forwards. IF we need to sign anyone, it's a centre.
