my sydney roosters 2011 side

[Guest]

I reckon the RD1 side will be
Mini
Perret
SKD
Linnett
Graham
Carney
Pearce
Anasta
Maubs
Myles (also front row rotation)
Ryles
Friend
Kennedy

Piggy
FPN
Conn
JWH

With the follwing fighting for firsts from day one.
BJ
Mose
Symonds
Carney

Blair to look to debut sometime.

And Cherro plus Cordner to get some footy under their feet first.

Pretty much agree, but aint Maubs and Graham out till early rounds?

[Rooster_6]

I think Smith might be a little hesitant to start Kennedy, he's already shown his hand in my opinion by starting Masoe & JWH on a couple of occasions in 2010. Probably looking for someone to take the big hits in the early stages.

Full strength...

1. Minichiello
2. Perrett
3. Kenny-Dowall
4. Linnett
5. Graham
6. Carney
7. Pearce
8. Ryles
9. Friend
10. Myles
11. Nuuausala
12. Aubusson
13. Anasta

14. Watts
15. Leilua
16. Hargreaves
17. Kennedy

Conn and Masoe are unlucky to miss out, but Masoe will get more of a shot when Ryles retires, and a tussle with other up-and-comers like Arona and Maliota for the front row spot can only do him good. Riddell should slip out of the team once Watts is fit - Watts is the long term prospect.

Justin Carney is definitely next in line for Phil Graham's spot too. Tremendous power and aggression on this bloke, in the Matt Utai style of play but much faster and with a better allround game. Height is a concern, but if the Bulldogs could win the premiership with El Masri and Utai on their wings, then I don't see the problem.

Nice team TheMack..

But for round 1.

I can see BJ starting in the centres with Linnett on the wing with Graham out..

Riddell on the bench for Watts..

With Maubbs out, I think Cherrington will get his chance, probably from the bench. Smith was impressed with him prior to injury last year..

*EDIT* - Conn would be very unlucky to miss out....

[Guest]

Mid December, after Watts was injured at training. 1 year deal.

I'd like to know what Cherrington has done in the past 2 years to warrant a spot in our top 25, let alone our top 17. If someone could enligten me I'd appreciate it.


NC

still only 22yo. played 5 nrl games before smith turned up,and played well,as we all know freddy didn,t have the coaching ability to blood new players properly. [ he,s got speed / footwork /offload/power/ size and hits hard]. If he was,nt injured in the 2010 trials he would have played.he,s a talent with more to proove in 2011 after missing out on 2010. Cherrington will be in the 17, unless he,s injured. he,ll definately proove himself to any doubters.[its like having a new signing, watch him go. the suprise packadge of 2011].

Ryles is also recovering from a hamstring strain,.

However he strained his calf midweek and is looking at another stint off the training park.

Brian Smith and the coaching staff see him what 5-6 days a week and we just rely on internet message boards for information on players.. I reckon they have a better idea then most why Cherrington would be in the top 25 or 17 if that eventuates.

Cherro's 2010 return from the previous years foot injury was impressive.
He was back to his best in the Foundation Cup game aginst the Tigs but sadly, in the final trial against Parra he did his ACL.
Cherro has been most unlucky with injuries over the last 3yrs. I hope he's blessed with good fortune this year because i rate him very highly, as does coach Smith. He has enough natural talent to play for the Kiwis.

Its nice to know we finally have the depth again to give everyone brain damage, when choosing a side!

[Guest]

With defiante season interupting injuries to PhilG Linnett Watts Aubo and possibly FPN GodCarney aswell as a few others I doubt Smithy will be sharing your thoughts, we won't be full strength until a few rounds in.

True, but there covered unless the others get injured!

Sorry but "back to his best" and impressive are not words I can validly associate with Cherrington, because he just hasn't played enough games and U20s is just nothing to judge anyone by

I thought he went OK in the foundation cup and I hope we get to see him get some NRL opportunities and he does well but he aint done nothing yet.,
