Geez mun..I'm sick of you pricks and your "I have my sources". If you can't reveal then shut the **** up.
When I posted my Ryles thread..I told yas who my source was to back it up. I broke the story and now been vindicated.Exonerate the West Memphis Three - www.wm3.orgComment

I have sources who are players in both the NYC and NRL squads. I'm not going to come out and name the players but they have been extremely reliable as they've let me know who have been signed for the NYC next year and they've been pretty spot on with it as well. Also they have been letting me know the situations with a few players such as Sa, Ryles and Carney. As I stated before, if you don't want to believe it, that's your personal choice but please do not come on here and ask me to reveal my sources. It would be unfair on the players to name them. I appreciate the news they give me and I try and relay as much as I can onto the forums for other supporters to know what the situation is.Comment

dw mate. As much as I can see where the farian is coming from, I think that this is a forum and I certainly respect the input of others who may have an inside scoop. In all honesty even if it is bs, its not like it hurt or is going to ruin anything. A bit of talk of this nature is good. dont get disheartened footy or anyone. im certainly listening and I myself will continue to relay info I recieve for those of you that appreciate itOriginally posted by footy View PostComment

Thanks guys. Whether all this info I'm receiving is true or not, I don't personally know but I trust the players who feed me this info.
We've also managed to sign Tony Barnes as NYC assistant coach.Comment

footy, I will thank you for posting the news that you do and as someone who isn't in a position close to the source, it certainly is appreciated getting a feel for what's going on within the Roosters from somone who is closer.Originally posted by footy View Post
I have a question for you if you'd be so kind and that is if you know what the "general feel" of the place is now that shittler and co are gone and Mr Smith is in the house. Specifically I guess I'd like to know if the players are on side with Mr Smith and are receptive to his presence and direction. Thanks in advance.

Footy can you ask your mates if Mase has gone or if they know anything???Comment

Lone Rooster, the general feel around the place is that everybody is pretty supportive of Smith. I've been told he is not the really strict man the media make him out to be. They think he is actually pretty funny and there's lighter side to his personality. Although they commented on how impressed they were with his preparation as it has been immaculate and all the programs have been mapped out for everyday of the pre-season until Round One. The players seem excited and I was told apparently the coaching staff and a few of the senior players were very impressed with the attitude and transformation of Todd Carney. There's a certain buzz around the joint and that's great to hear, especially from the players themselves. They've also mentioned that the NYC and the NRL squads are a lot closer together this year socially because Smith has been encouraging all the players to chat with each other from both squads.
Horry, it seems Mason is seeing out his contract at the moment and IMO that's a good thing. He will be out to prove everybody wrong next season and I have a feeling he will return to his best.Comment

I struggle to take that comment seriously considering they would have spent what, at most, 5 hours in his company so far, and he's yet to complete a training session.Originally posted by footy View Post
I've no doubt players are 'coached' to sprout positive crap like that, but that doesn't make it any more believable.

Thanks for answering my question footy and I'm liking what I'm hearing, even the Todd Carney comment.Originally posted by footy View Post 
It would be instructive to compare Smith's plans for pre-season 2010 to Fittlers for pre-season 2009 - that would make interesting reading."The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

Who said info isnt appreciated? But if your gunna spread rumours at least back it up by revealing your source..but that doesnt mean you have to provide exact names.
He's since come out and said it was one of the NYC players.

Some background on Tony Barnes.Originally posted by footy View Post
Fellow St George lower grader player and coach. Career path similar to that of his best mate Peter O'Sullivan.
Both left the coaching ranks at Saints and ended up at the Storm working hand-in-hand. Peter was based in Melb whilst Tony looked after the Storms juniors/feeder area on the Central Coast until the end of 2008.
Smith, O'Sullivan, Barnes......this combination has a St George feel about it but there is no denying their invaluable & allround experience.
We wish them well!Comment
