I see more resolve in our players who have trialed, not a Smith coaching norm.. we look tough from start to finish, aside from some positional **** ups in the FC game ie; wing JC. We look ready to go to war for each other, Elliots panthers were not the best roster by a long shot but hard to beat physically.[his 2010 team was very successful, 2011 stuffed by infighting].Fitzy! well we all know too well, Fitzy brings a great work ethic and some.. I won't be surprised if we go all the way this year!

I know that we have won the last 2 trials, but we did play around 50 players & during the games they were making mass replacements & the games were being played in quarters. I wouldn't get to carried away.
I think Fitzy may be a great addition to the club though. reminds me of when Dean Pay was assisting Stuart. Hopefully Fitzy instills that tough defence in them.

Originally posted by rob1crap View PostIts actually disruptive to your team when making heaps of replacements, so we were @ a disadvantage more than the Tigers..
Mate if the roosters are going to win the comp this year in your mind thats great but I just have a different view. Our team will surprise a few teams no doubt but realistically making the 8 is a big ask with such a young side & no real top quality players in the spine.

Anything below eighth will be unacceptable.

Originally posted by rob1crap View Postso your saying the dragons 2010 spine was better than our present spine?? Pearce v Hornby? Pearce any day.. Mini v Boyd? Mini's 12 tries to boyds 2 answers that.. Anasta v Soward?? Not sure about that.. The Dragons won a comp with that spine!
In 2010 Dean Young interchanging with Nathen Fien was sensational. Hornby is a quality player & the Rooster discard Soward no matter what anyone says shone under Wayne Bennett. Boyd was nearly unstoppable. Not a good comparison.

I think it's more of a pact amongst the playing group, the "All In, All Season" motto seems to have caught on and they mentally want to be on at all times. The Superbowl winning New York Giants formed an "All In" pledge amongst the players a couple of weeks out before the playoffs and went undefeated the rest of the season, it may sound silly but these things work as motivation for a group.
