Anasta reflects on bittersweet 250th

[Geohood]

Back on Anasta's article, though, it's never been clearer that this club is a goddam rabble.

We've been cleaning out and rebuilding for years.

Now the big plan seems to be to sign an ex-2004 Premiership winning Bulldog.

Who's a second rower.

I mean fcuk.

You wouldn't read about it.

Go Easts.

He's not just any second rower. And we already have a 5/8 coming.

No Rooster fan should give a shit what this bludging hack has to say until he utters the word we all want to hear...goodbye.

Chook.

Chook could not say it any better.

Realistically, where we going to play him?

We've got centres galore.

I can see only really see him in the second row.

Or that all time classic Easts position: the natural second rower who play as prop.

Regardless of where he packs into the scrum he'll attack our wide and defend closer in, shutting down second phase play. But then what do I know. Nick's likely to want to play him at fullback.

Chook.

Great post - totally agree.

I know many on here won't agree but Braith can still be proud of his achievments and longevity in the game.

While this year has not been great by his standards and what we as fans would like, his overll career and contribution to Easts deserves some positive recognition.

I recall many times (not this year) where i have rated Braith in our best players for a game, and I think he has set a good behavioural standard and as a club ambassador off the field.

He always had an impossible mountain to climb here being hailed as the "next Fittler".

A good player and a good bloke.

Regardless.

Nice post JFC, it's pretty difficult to praise him for much this season, but he sure doesn't deserve the abuse & disrespect that some on here show him, you are spot on when you say he's a good player and a good bloke.

I thought we were getting rid of one of those!?!?!?!?

i think the club should reccognise braiths 250 game and his last all on the same day...what a good idea

lol.... not bad RP not bad.

As it turns out Braith's last home game in our colours is against the Tigers - what a coincidence.

If he plays as well then as he did when we played them at Leichhardt it will be a fitting end to his Roosters career -that game is the only one he's actually fired up for all season!!

I wish the bloke well and he's been a good clubman until this season, but I've got to the stage where the sooner he goes the better. His heart is clearly no longer in it and it shows in the bulk of his performances.

The Tiges are welcome to him.

Waiting for the end of the year is like waiting for a divorce to be finalised.

I'm not saying James Maloney is Monica Bellucci (circa 1995) but Braith Anasta is Julia Gillard.

Toss it all in the air & see what happens year?

Got it in one chook 56 - that's the game plan our illustrious coach has encouraged all year.

woodsta, what a great thrill that must have been?! a few years back a courier driver delivered something to my office at qantas, as he waited for my signature i had a good look at him, he was alan mackean the best stepping fullback in the game in his time, i unashamedly asked him to sit down offered him and got him a coffee and chatted about all things easts and playing under gibbo etc.. that was a great thrill for vme, im sure you felt the same way? how good was it the poster was still up in your swons room! he would have got a buzz out of that too?
