Round 4 Team Named

[TheLoneRooster]

Interesting changes made to the side by coach Smith. MAubs back at centre I am ambivalent about but Riddell still being considered I am not - he's a liability but then so are a few others at the moment. Linnett can consider himself unlucky and a few others can consider themselves lucky they're still listed. I look forward to seeing some sign of improvement in this Roosters side. Good luck to Justin Carney in his debut.

[Roosterfarian]

Thank **** common sense prevailed and Smith dropped Linnett.

Where is that cock-holder now that his man has been dropped?

[Spanner in the works]

Anyone else thinking about putting Justin Carney in their fantasy? Might be a secret weapen, not much will have him.

I've had him from the first round. I thought it was just a matter of time before he got a run and he was very, very cheap.

Linnett was unlucky. He has certainly been holding his own, but he hasn't hit his straps in attack and you get the feeling some time tearing up for Newtown could give him some confidence.

He is a long-term first-grader, I don't doubt that.

Big call for Smithy to drop Ryles too...he seemed like an untouchable.

Linnett has received the ball more times in the last two matches than Shaun Kenny Dowall. He's already shown his inability to beat his man when one on one, it's something he definitely needs to work on.

Ryles has a years of performances behind him plus a good season only last year, Linnett is still developing as a player and whilst he has a good base to build on still has a lot to prove.

You sound like a NSW selector, a few poor performances and they're already past it

That's a nothing stat - when and where and in what situations did he get it?

Our attack has been poor and the backs have received very little good ball

Ryles is yesterdays prop, and nowadays is one of the least effective props in the NRL

His leg speed and mobility are terrible, he's an easy mark when he runs, and I honestly can't believe how he is in this side

[crikey chris]

To me, it looks like Smithy will NOT drop Ryles, Anasta or the Pig. We just have to live with it.

Linnett to me is built like a winger and is quick. Needs to bulk up to play centre.

BJ is a centre-in-the-making, or back rower. Future rep player.

Will see J Carney in the flesh on sunday, lets see if the hype matches the performance.

Having Braith and Maubs as backrowers was never going to work.

Maubs in centres to "help" Carney tackle. His tackle attempts against the Dogs were woeful.

Symonds had to be there somewhere.

CONNman, stay off the piss. Too good to be at Henson.


Overall don't mind this line-up. Word is FPN will be out injured.

If we can't beat that side we don't deserve to make the semis.

How it should be

[Guest]

Cumon Boys Ryles has done well for us, He dropped one ball VS the dogs and gave away 2 penalties and everyone is hating on him. Last year he was great, Always hitting that advantage line. Watch this week he'll come good. ONYA RYLES.

+ Pumped and happy to see Daniel conn, Tomy Symonds back in.

team looks stronger already!

I totally agree. Combine this with his lack of discipline and stupid mistakes and you have to seriously question his place in the side. He was a tough prop in his prime but those days are well and truly behind him.

Is that because he played one shit game on the weekend ?

Last year he was one of our best forwards. We would have got ryles cheap aswell. His doing well, yeah he stuffed up one game, give him ago and he'll improve from the last lgame he had VS the dogs.

I really think as he is getting older it takes a few more games to warm into a season. If he could just cut out the 2 silly penalties he gives away a game, he will still go okay for us. I don't think Ryles is the reason for our last couple of losses.

Surley NAUGHTON and PRITCHARD must feel a little hard done by, ive watched all JETS trials and comp games this year and both have been in great form, JUSTIN CARNEY hasn't done enough for mine..
