      Really?

      I like the unknown factor of the NYC recruits personally. Guys like Hargreaves, Linnett, Naughton, Takairangi, Arona, Ford, Baitieri are all coming over with fairly big wraps, but then again, Tuigamala was an NYC recruit from Penrith and did very little, whilst Foran is yet to make his mark either.

      To be fair, Peters never got a fair run at Penrith, but Leaeno is admittedly a very average player. Conn isn't too flash either.

        Didn't Foran get the Jets from last to the finals in a matter weeks after he arrived The Mack..

        From what I heard, he has shown plenty...???

          In all my years of supporting the Roosters I can't remember a weaker group of players. The firsts get a couple of injuries and we're history.

            Indeed - We have lost the world beaters like:

            Danny Williams
            Nigel Plum
            Steve Meredith
            Adam Schubert
            Mark Edmonston
            Charlie Tonga..

            People raved about these guys..

            People need to understand why reserve grade was created...

            Because they are never going to be good enough for first grade...

              1. Sam Perrett
              2. Anthony Minichiello
              3. Mitch Aubusson
              4. Phil Graham
              5. Shaun Kenny-Dowall


              There's a group of outside backs destined to have opposition backlines worried...

                Most of the players we have are rubbish.

                    Couldn't agree more. I should have included this symbol

                    It's a popgun backline

                        SKD is crap and Morbs tries hard but is about as dangerous as a sloth in attack.

                          Personaly i think thats close to the worst backline in the nrl.
                          It lacks the athletisism and genuine pace of most others to be honest.
                          Graham was a known speedster but he has been injury prone for most of his career.
                          And his best days arent in front of him, although hes far from ancient.
                          SKD and Morbs? personaly id rather see morbs in the backrow, and although skd does have a good try scoring record, majority are from kicks and i rarely see him beat too many guys in a foot race. Does he even have a step?

                          Would you guys rather see smith take a punt on a young bloke like williamson?
                          Id consider it...

                            Yeah but given their age it is pretty hard to say there best days are over thats all.
