my sydney roosters 2011 side

[Guest]

Linnet; will wait until early january to start training.Leilua; is back at full training after a left foot fracture.CARNEY;ribs?fell of a balconey.Anasta hamstring tear at training. Aubbuson recovering from shoulder surgery.
Graham;after surgery on torn pack muscle will return to proper training in the new year. If all goes well they might be back to full fitness .if there not i doubt smith will risk reinjury and a prolonged recovery during the early season.

Sounds bad, but I suspect is much the same at most clubs.

So only Maubs and Watts won't be available for round 1 at this stage. Is that right?

If fit he will be hard to keep out but I think Brian Smith will stick with the bulk of the 2010 team first up.. I could not find a space for FPN either as I like Masoe's size and Conn's no frills work rate but with injuries bound to happen, guys like Frank will get lots of game time.

Guys like Frank will get gametime? What like him and the other internationals?

Epic fail

Damn - You are right and Carney is out also isn't he??

I guess Anasta to 6 with maybe cherrington coming on the the bench...

Who knows..??.. I guess I am just wasting some time at work....

They are optimistic Carney will be ready for Rd1..

I'd like to see Tom Symonds come in before Cherro...Let Cherro earn his spot by performing on the park..

Our backrow depth is great..

[Pass the Ball]

I know this is not popular here..but, I don't see Tom Symonds as a first-grade NRL player...

Anything in particular about his game you don't see as being up to it?..

My only worry with him was his size,but he has stacked a bit of beef on,so that will help him..

Plus i like his versatitlity..He could fill in at lock,5/8th & centre..Good bench material..

[Guest]

Thr Roosters sid e will probably remain similar to the semis and GF team the rest will have to earn their stripes ........with only maybe Riddel the only new face on the bench

Agreed.

[Guest]

Agreed.

Preseason will tell all, it'll be very interesting to see who has matured and gone to the next level!

Guys I am hoping who can do that are Masoe and Cherrington. Masoe provides the size and aggression our pack needs and Cherrington the creativity. I also hope BJ gets plenty of game time.. I think he is our most exciting prospect at the club. I just don't want him playing on the Wing.

Somehow, although it has its disadvantages, MAubs injury might not be such a bad thing. It was always going to be hard to fit him in (would have had to have been at the expense of our go forward, or our speed out wide). Obviously, he has to be in the team - he is too good a player not to be. However, the trials and the first few weeks will give Brian a good luck at guys pushing for spots, like Cherrington, JCarney etc., to see where MAubs is going to play.
