Angus

[Rooster1908]

Mate I prefer to believe a comment directly from Uncle Nick than the clickbaiters.
I don't believe for one minute what any journos are saying about our salary cap and the reason we are offloading players. We are just moving around the decks to improve our line up for next year. We do it every year like every club.
I have quoted Read and Weidlers comments and they are full of "I THNK" and "THE WAY I SEE IT" type comments.
Nothing from the club. Just guess work to make up a story about the Roosters cap. It happens every year.
Look how everyone chucked a stink when we signed SBW last year thinking we had no more space because of all our stars and that we had upgraded the likes of Manu, Rads etc.
So now we are upgrading all of them again? Granted that Teddy and Keary have been/will be upgraded but we had plenty of space getting rid of Cronk, Trell and Tets. Now we get rid of Maubs, SBW, Hall, Flanno and Farmer and everyone THINKS we have cap problems.
Nobody outside of the club knows where we stand with our salary cap. Not Read, not Weidler and not King Sheep.
Go back and listen to the Schuwey interview and what he says about our cap.
I wouldn't be surprised if JS is not the only decent signing we make. Then watch the hysteria from all the sheep after the media has drummed them with "the Roosters have cap space issues" just like the SBW situation.
I understand the angst about Angus but his extension is from 2022. We will not have the Morris boys and possibly one or two more depending on how their bodies pull up. I am sure Robbo wants to keep him as much as all of us do and I doubt we will make him a low ball offer. But like Trell, if he wants more money than what we are prepared to offer him then Robbo and Uncle Nick will make the correct decision.

True but wish Robbo or Nick when there reading the Pen in the evening would have the decency to let us know Gus is going nowhere, we have no cap pressure and they have a plan . Surely that not asking to much

Im curious how many games this season were close enough where goal kicking was the difference?

Now I will admit before I get smashed that the difference in the GF could well have been goal kicking but the penalty goals the storm kicked were not taken from a very tough spot.

its the going up by 6 that creates the blowouts - 6-0/ 12-0/18-0/24-0 - if it was 4 -0 / 8-0 /12-0 /16-0 say the other team is still in the game - if they score and convert its 16-6 - If they score in the former it's 24-6

Chooks were down 28-10 - if they score and not convert it ends up 29-22 - at 29-28 they had a chance

Agree 100%.

If it comes down to a grand final with the Roosters having levelled the score and needing a sideline kick to win, I'd rather be on an 80% halfback goal kicker than a second rower who kicks at 70% having run his guts out for 50 minutes.

I guess the counter argument to this would be let's focus on actually making the grand final first.

We won back to back grand finals with a 70% goal kicker.

And we if had decent half instead of one employed to kick goals, maybe we would never have been down in the first place?

I see your points however and get it but I still think its not as important for a specialist kicker anymore in comparison to what it used to be.

Can Angus kick goals?

Rumour has it that Tedesco and Keary are reasonable goal kickers and even Friendly - mmm not sure if those little legs of Friendly will have the power for the out wide kicks maybe the shorter ones.

Greeks colonised what is now Italy including Sicily so there all related

Its a historical fact- Greeks and Italians share similiar genetics /dna

If you have a kicker that kicks at 50% - you go up in fives. Don’t get me wrong kicking is important but it’s not the difference between 6 and 4 between a good kicker and a ordinary one. Kicker at 80% goes up by 5.6 kicker at 50% goes up by 5 - it’s not as big as some make out.

Where do you draw that line? Caucasians? Homo Sapiens? Mammals? DNA is DNA.

google search Phonecians (Modern day Lebanon) you’ll be very surprised. For some odd reason it was never taught in history.
