Robbo on NRL 360

[ChookMaster]

There is no chance that the club thinks DSF and Baker are the long term replacements for Tauks and JWH.

I wouldn’t say no chance, it’s a possibility tbh.. Robbo really likes what baker offers and so far this season he’s been pretty good. Going back on what Robbo said last night, it does sound like he’s keen to focus on within and lead with that mindset rather than always looking to externally bring someone in.

We have some great talent to develop in the coming years in the forwards. Payne is one that keeps getting brought up but we have to understand as well he’s still under contract for the next 2 years at the broncos and he won’t be easy to pry away within this timeframe.

Could Nat Butcher shift into the front row over the next couple of years?

he doesn't have the size of a traditional prop but with the faster game he can do the business in the middle, so yes.

[BillyBonkers]

Or a few of those better teams.

I would say Penrith and Storm are two of the better teams - whose the Third- Souths /Parramatta/Manly/ Sharks ?

All of those except Manly.

Sharks the jokers in the pack this year.

He looks to have beefed up a bit over the off season. I wonder if we could give him a Ryan Matterson style weights program next off season.

I will be extremely sad when JWH and Toops play their last game for The Roosters.

Surely Toops has a few seasons left?

That will be a grim day.

Who's the 10 for the Dogs? I rate that dude.

Who's the 10 for the Dogs? I rate that dude.

Paul Vaughan - he is 30 now, so while he's been a good prop for some time, he is not a long term replacement option.

...Additionally he said that he believes there are 3 teams currently better than us.

Only three better than the Roosters? I'd suggest there's a couple more right now.

Name them then, don't leave us in suspense.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

It's obviously Parra, Penrith and Storm.

Parra, Penrith, Sharks and Storm.
They have won more games then the Chooks so far so they are currently better than us.

[Rooster_6]

It's obviously Parra, Penrith and Storm.

Souths are a better side than Parra.

[Mickie Lane]

Not this year.

yeah, he's pretty stocky. people were talking about him being another paul gallen and i don't know about that but it will be interesting to see if he nails down a particular position
