SBW and Quade Cooper linked to roosters... again!

[Kingbilly]

But Roosters2013 also reminded me that they didn't pass the ball backwards from dummyhalf either

[Guest]

all the good 5/8's a nd fly halves make room thats what they are there for

Cooper kicked it out on the full from the kickoff ffs ...remind you of someone

cooper doesn't have it upstairs for his sake one day he does

[novice chook]

Those who control the roosters are even more deluded than I thought they were (which is saying something) if we end up with ScummyBill in 2012 given the compo we'd have to pay the Scumdogs if he plays NRL before 2013. And that's before we pay the money grubbing piece of filth that is Scummy Bill.

In case you haven't noticed - I'm not a fan of this puppet of Mundane's. Same goes for Cooper by the way - a vastly overrated, loudmouthed, arrogant SOB who cracks under pressure. And also a puppet of Mundane's.

NRL bad boy Todd Carney looks headed to Cronulla while his former employers Sydney Roosters distance themselves from All Blacks star Sonny Bill Williams.

It has been revealed South Sydney had no interest in signing troubled former Dally M Medal winner Carney while the Gold Coast Titans have withdrawn their interest.

That leaves Carney with just one option - the Sharks.

Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan will meet with Carney's manager, David Riolo, either today or tomorrow, when it is understood the Sharks will table a two or possibly three-year deal.


The Sharks will, however, insist Carney agree to a number of strict discipline clauses before signing the former Sydney Roosters and Canberra star.

NRL chef executive David Gallop will also interview Carney before registering the brilliant yet erratic player for what could be his final chance in the NRL.

Gallop has been frustrated at Carney's ongoing promises regarding his behaviour. Photos of a heavily tattooed Carney holidaying in Thailand, seemingly intoxicated, may not endear him to Sharks fans.

Asked how his club would handle Carney if he signed, Sharks chairman Damian Irvine said: "We would handle Todd exactly the same as the rest of our roster. We have a good, genuine roster.

"They know what is below the line and above the line in terms of behaviour. We have standards and expectations."

Meanwhile the Roosters have denied rugby league's hottest rumour - that the club will shortly sign All Blacks superstar Sonny Bill Williams

For the past week speculation has increased that Williams will return to the NRL after Rugby World Cup 2011, and Bondi was where many thought Williams would land.

But one Roosters official said: "It's rubbish. We have nver had a chat to him."

I heard from a mate that usually gets reasonable info, that there is a rumour $BW is headed back to the Dogs.
Will be interesting if that happens.

i believe this. and im sick of hearing these rumours tbh

who even said SBW would be leaving Union? given how much more he is paid over there i doubt he will bother coming back to the nrl

[Roosterfarian]

people still are forgetting that Cooper cannot tackle. Some on here say well neither can Thurston or Benji which baffles me anyway because they are both good defenders however they are streets ahead of Cooper

They both developed that skill after many years but both were terrible defenders earlier in their careers. Lockyer was also a notable rubbish defender early in his career but like most players, developed that skill.

I couldn't agree more. Anything Mundane touches should be avoided IMO.

Guys dismiss the paper talk

I have a good a source as any that SBW is a real possibily in 2012 and even greater chance in 2013

Plently of talk has happened already

[Rooster_6]

sorry Rooster_6 but that is not true. There is a lot of flair shown by the good players at the right time.
Its just Cooper doesn't have it upstairs

Benji, Carney, Thurston, Daley & Freddy had much going on up stairs?

I agree with you there's still the right tine in league but it comes far more often than Union which is largely a field territory based game, league is not. Cooper has undeniable talent I'm pretty confident he could make the switch but I'm against us paying him something ridiculous given the risk

SBW belongs in League NOT Yawnion as evidenced by his natural instincts to shoulder charge a Wallabies player last night.
Earnt him a stint in the sin-bin.......farkin ridiculous really.
IMO, SBW has 3-4 good years left in him possible more. I would love to see him at his best donning the RWB guernsey. Existing
contracted players would be abuzz training/playing alongside the talent and i can only presume Sonny would be the ideal bait to
secure (not poach!) up'n'coming talented youngsters.

[Kingbilly]

I think Marshall is smarter than he makes out, but you got me with the rest defintely

The player I think would be great is Roberts, the Welsh centre, he is a good player. Very strong and hard

[Headless Chook]

James O'Connor and Digby Ioane for me......O'Connor looks like a natural league fullback and Ioane would be great in the centres, pace, strength and footwork!

[Rooster_6]

O'Connor has awesome footwork. Unfortunately he's union through and through.
