Who would you prefer as our star in the backline - Ferguson or Jennings

[milanja]

RTS loved the club but not enough to take such a substantial pay cut.

His primary reason for leaving was money. He stated that it was a business decision.

We couldn't match the Warriors offer because we wanted not 1 but 2 shiny red ferrari's.

Did you see the centre pairing the Cows had last season and won the comp? They were like Toyota Corollas. We even gave them a Ford XR6 but it broke down (Moga)

Swap the main sparkplug at the cows for our own, and their center pairing would of gone like a billy cart.

That's kind of what i'm getting at.

Your 1, 6, 7 and 9 should come before a 2nd topline centre.

RTS signed with the Warriors on the 8th April 2015. This after rejecting a second low ball offer from us of 520k a year. It had nothing to do with his mother. It all came down to $$$$

Garbage!! the fact is It was his mothers decision... She was filthy With Trent because he had promised Sheck the #1 for 2014.. she told me herself! You ain't got a clue mate..

You're doing Sheck's mother. You're like the Russell Crowe of The Warriors.

Being pissed off because her boy didn't play fullback in 2014 is pathetic. A club legend filled this role in 2014. She should respect that and she should not get involved in her sons career. Does your mum interfere in your career? Mine certainly doesn't.

My take...

Fergo's 2 years younger, a LOT taller and he's a natural all round athlete. Fergo plays wing, centre and fullback so is more versitile when we get injuries/suspensions. He's also a really crazy dude who puts his body on the line 100% of the time.

I like this video because it shows Fergo at his best (last year he was at maybe 50% IMO and still kicked bun):
http://youtu.be/jvn2YY0VgD8

The above video shows:
- He can play the ball (he does some pretty sweet passes, and TBH I thought in 2015 he was 1/2 the reason why RTS was so successful, he setup RTS for lots of big runs after doing the hard work himself).
- He's pretty darn fearless. As a kid he was running through Brett Morris as if he's nobody (RTS did the same on debut). Also, there's 1 particular try where he fends off Cronk, steps Widdop and is left with Smith + Slater... Smith gives up and Slater's unable to catch him. IMO this demonstrates an uncanny ability to lift himself when up against star players. He's really good like that... doesn't care who people are...
- On raw talent he has a bunch of kangaroos covered hands down.

I'd pick Fergo (if we were forced to... right now we're blessed by having both - lets enjoy having both of them, Copley and Roberts are both poor men's options when compared with Fergo and Jennings). Jenko's awesome but I think he's more a short, powerful, evasive runner. Don't get me wrong, his flying try won us a premiership and really, we owe him everything for that (and other such moments). However, footy's business. Fergo will last longer, he's vertically and athletically more gifted and he can play anywhere in the backline.

You do not belong on this forum.
You talk too much sense.

That isn't fact at all.

[Darkone]

RTS was just a greedy Karnt (for the pill as well as the moola)
His presence made the rest of us lazy...including Robbo
Now it's up to a team effort
& Fergo fits the bill perfectly for mine

Interesting in that in an interview on the Warriers website (stumbled across it on NRL.com late last year), RTS said that one of the reasons he went back to NZ is that he and his partner wanted to live their own lives - do their own washing, pay their own bills etc, and it wasn't working out that like back in Sydney.

Maybe mommy dearest was a little too controlling and her boy had finally had enough and took advantage of a means to escape. He's probably a great deal happier with a stretch of water separating them, as the rest of the family are still based in Sydney.

More money, more freedom, a chance to do what he wants with his life without constant interference. Can't blame the bloke and his partner for wanting that.

I personally like both of them the same. Ferguson looks around 10 kilos bigger & stronger in the youtube video than what he does now at the Roosters IMO. When he played SOO in 2012 I think it was that's when he was at his biggest & most aggressive, I think Blake may have had some extra peptides on board during that series.

Who cares when we have SKD. He can do it all.

I agree with you about RTS being too greedy. And that's coming from me, his biggest supporter
