Roosters chasing Michael Lichaa

[Vasco]

I reckon we just push on without Friend. He probably would have played Origin and our draw is OK until he returns.

I'd give Deitz a run and save $$$ for better players than Lichaa.

[Waylander]

Vasco I don't believe Deitz can play for us, he is contracted to the Bears only, not the Roosters, and does not feature in our 30 man roster.

Is his name pronounced lich - aa or lic - haa ?

What's James Segeyaro doing these day's ? Is he injured or unable to get a run at the Sharks ? Could be a good fill in for Hooker.

Think he played for the Jets last weekend.

Deitz has been impressive,they could sign him for the rest of the year for under 45k. It would be a precautionary depth signing in case Radley joined the injury list. I don't think we need Liicha,I know Radley has been a little sloppy with his service but we are still winning well. Why sign a first string replacement for Friend in the interim who doesn't know our systems and push either Butcher or Sitili off the bench,both are going great.

I was thinking that too, however what happens if Radley gets hurt this weekend and is out for 3 months. We really will need someone who can slot in and it can't be someone as inexperienced as Verrills.

[Waylander]

They would use MAubs with Verrills off the bench if that happened.

[Johnny Brass]

Lichaa is a horrible option , his service from hooker is slow and he's a terrible passer .
We just need a dummy half to pass the ball off the deck and our outside backs and forwards get us over the advantage line . Cronk guides us around the park and once we have teams on the back foot we have Keary who is the best running half in the game with his speed and vision linking with Teddy and our backs do the rest.
I think our right edge attack is suffering from not having Radley at lock , it's no coincidence that Manu came into his own late last year once Victor went to lock and became a link that opened up the right side . I'm sure Crichton would benefit from him at lock too .
Why not give Aubo more minutes at hooker , he mightn't have the greatest passing game but he's reliable with a great motor and can hit like a sledgehammer in defence .
Dogs fans would be over the moon to get rid of lichaa , he can't make first grade and they are coming last .

[Cockadoodledoo]

Maubs would be completely wasted there. His versatility off the bench is so invaluable, not to mention how well his defence is on the fringes when playing back row or filling in at Centre.

[Tommy Smith]

What's Simon Bonetti doing these days?

Yep fair call, it's the big picture that wins comps...

IMO Radley's better than anybody who you'll sign short-term for $100-200k, Liu's good enough to start at #13 (highly respected player amongst the playing group) and Sitili's providing a lot of good stuff as a sub (IMO somebody's gonna offer him big $$$ soon).

Teams have injuries. Currently we only have 2 players out... we are pretty lucky.

[roosterproud]

i reckon Butcher could cover the hooker spot.

[Mickie Lane]

I would rather Nick Kouparatsis than Michael Lichaa.
