Official 2012 Round 1 Team versus Souths

[roosterproud]

If someone would tell Carney to put down the ****ing bucket of KFC and step away from the power rack he might actually get back some of that speed and running game he had at the Raiders and we signed him up for.

Honestly, the bloke ballooned out about 20kg when he broke his leg and has never even tried to lose it.

Meanwhile Tagive featured in a game on Fox last night between the knights and the dragons. Played very well, was safe under the high ball, ran it back at a million miles an hour and also looked threatening down the right flank (although he did drop the ball over the line in the first half). Carney should not be in the side over him.

i actually like minni on the wing and tagive as full back. start mini then take of carney , move mini there and give tagive a go

I'd bring back a forty year old Michael Appleby and put him on the wing ahead of Carney.....
I'd rather Skinny Byrne less a further 10kg on the wing ahead of Carney.....
Kurt Sherlock could out pace Carney.....
Even my grandmother reckons he's slow!

This could be quite revolutionary...

I mean why hasn't anyone else thought of using your interchanges for wingers, centres and fullbacks...

[JohnLawrence]

I'm still confident Roosters will get a good result

[bondi-boy]

Good team for round one minus Carney. I'd rather we play with 12 than have him on.

"Oh what big muscles you have Mr Carney"!

"All the better to ram you over the sideline with my dear Rabbit"!

[bondi-boy]

I hope that carney stays on his wing and marks his opposite flanker otherwise we are going to have a long nite.

He should look after his future and stay on his wing no matter what...and let those inside him take the blame if they're out of position and/or miss tackles.

[bondi-boy]

Carney is named at centre

His correct position.

_____________



He has bulk and strength, and can tackle.
This is not the time to be blooding rookies.

[bondi-boy]

Smith is taking the pressure of Moga by not naming him, he will come in for Carney

Moga got lost in the kids' GF.

Carney is an experienced first grader.
BJ would be a better choice for the wing.

Where's Phil Graham when you need him?

[novice chook]

BB, you astound me with your assertion that Carney is an experienced first grader. He's played less than a season in NRL.

Phil Graham would be a far better option, but unfortunately he was off contract and JCarney wasn't so we had to keep the wrong one. Pity.

He looks like an experienced first grader to me.

Moga wasn't sighted in the kids 2010 GF
First grade is a lot tougher than that.

Inglis is playing.

Moga hasn't played even one first grade game in the NRL proper yet.
The blockbuster against Souths is not the place to debut him...too risky.

[Pass the Ball]

BB

Moga is injured, otherwise he would be playing and Carney would be at Newtown..

BB

Moga is injured, otherwise he would be playing and Carney would be at Newtown..

And Souths would have a picnic.
They'd run big Dave, Sutton, Inglis etc at him all night, and steamroll him.

[novice chook]

Again, the youtube myth strikes again. Not interested in the past.

Moga has to debut some time and if he's ready, why not in Round 1. The games don't get any easier further into the season. And Moga has a much better chance of chasing down Inglis than Carney!

Looks like BB has replaced one Carney with another...a Carney obsession perhaps??

[Pass the Ball]

Carney is very quick, but he would have to run to the other side of the field to be anywhere near Inglis.

Maubs has the job of looking after Inglis and Taylor attacking our right side...
