Thanks jollyjock for the correction... I must have missed it lol

Hard to argue with his assessment. Although I think we'll finish inside the 8.

Chook.

I'm not sure how we stole Bosden, it's called offering a contract that exceeds what was being offered elsewhere.

You should know by now when it comes to the media; Souffs, Tigers and the other media darlings recruit, sign and contract new players ..... whilst they announce the Roosters steal, pinch and raid players

Yes the media darlings have impressive recruitment drives or rebuilding programs (ie Bulldogs, Eels, Tigers, Souffs). We, the 'glamour club' poach and open the chequebook to steal promising youngsters and star players from other clubs!

What $1million sponsorship did mini bring in that was mentioned in the video ? Which company, does anyone know ?

[stephenj]

thgis guyys been reading our own asessmentsd, hes spot on? maybe mini hast to wing it to stay in the team? as for braith i think the bench might be his go very soon? sam and mini swap positions! hes got the rest right? dont know who goes to 5/8 this year though?

From memory, Mini had a fair bit to do with Steggles coming on board in 2010 when they did.

And it was a risk that Steggles took, given our 2009 dramas.

I would love to of heard what this guy said about how we would go in 2010 & again how we would go in 2011?

Im not saying I disagree with him but anything can happen in footy, as we have all seen with the Roosters over the last 3 seasons

Hi aint far off the money. Unless Mini improves somewhat during the offseason we are really going to struggle to benefit from any broken play. I love the bloke but he seems to be deadset past it. It is blatantly obvious most of our points are going to come from field position based on our exciting forward pack. Very very very few length of the field tries this year me thinks

If we lose the battle of the meters in any games this year we are going to get belted if you ask me

[Guest]

At least he didn't refer to us as Sydney City in this years vid..

[Guest]

He's right about defenders not being scared when Mini returns the ball.. When he takes a kick return you don't expect a linebreak but when it's a player such as Slater, Barba, Locke, Gardner etc. you do expect one or know there's a good chance of one happening. Defenders don't take Mini's kick returns seriously, it's just a free tackle. We also need a five-eighth who drifts across field alot like Carney, Prince or Cronk or one with an inventive kicking game like Thurston, Shaun Johnson and even Littlejohn in our u20's, Jack Litlejohn's little chip kicks or grubbers to the wingers worked on many occasions. 2013 will be the year.

1. Wells/RTC (both need to improve in size without losing speed/footwork).
6. Maloney

Firstly thank you for that.

As I thought he predictated we would go 1 better in 2011 to what we went in 2010. I guarantee he would not have rated the Roosters in 2010, who did?

So really he only looks at what is in front of him. I think the Roosters are in better shape than the Broncos. We lost Freddy & just could not perform, how they will go without Lockyer remains to be seen.

I am sure this guy must be one of you guys from this website - the way he goes on about young players that I am sure he has never ever seen play reminds me of many on here.

[player 1]

Look, I don't know who this guy is, but he strikes me as very thoughtful. Yes he stutters a bit but that does not bother me one bit. In fact, from the look of his facial asymmetry, he has either had a stroke at some point or a Bell's Palsy (facial nerve paralysis). If he had a regular show on foxtel I would watch it.

And I don't blame him for having predicted Easts to win in 2011. After all they were the better team in the 2010 GF, we all know what a stitch up that was (including the steelers fans, you can tell by how sensitive they are and how they blow up when you mention it .

I still think Carney would be at Easts had the bitter and twisted discard sh.itter Myles not manipulated him into being photographed in open defiance and disrespect of the club.

I actually wish Carney well. He gave us some great value, inspiration and set up a try for BJ Leilua in the corner in the 2010 GF that should have set up a match winning lead, had it not shamefully and corruptly been disallowed.

As for Myles, who robbed us of 450K or so all last year (didn't try at all), if he breaks both his legs in the first round I won't shed a tear.
