  • After 6 Years we finally get a real 7 and 9


    Welcome Chez and Robbo!

    Hopefully we never again see Watson, Radley, Smith, or any other makeshift hooker playing dummy half for the Roosters.
    And at 7, finally—finally—a real halfback who can steer the team around the park.

    Watching Walker and Watson in the spine in that last game was frustrating.

    Hard to argue with that, particularly having our first proper hooker since Friend. Let’s hope they thrive in the Roosters system and bring some much needed stability in the critical moments.

      Verrills moving on was a damn shame injury prone without a solid backup. Next season we will close if we don’t it be an utter failure, I was on the no to DCE wagon until our game vs the Sharks zero direction and no leadership we are quick to panic and self destruct.

      Had Tommy Turbo been as consistent as James on the health front I have no doubt Manly wins premierships, the partnership between DCE and Teddy is very exciting.

        Has Cherry been formally announced yet? Surprising it’s taking so long. Thought for sure it’d get announced the moment both Manly and Roosters seasons were officially over.

          I'll ask Fatty Vautin tomorrow and let you know.
          1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
          1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

              Ive been wondering this also - thought it would be announced by now. my conspiracy theory is that maybe he is going to retire and announce it post GF as some players dont want to make a big deal about retiring so dont want to be part of the GF acknowledgement - just a theory - and i am in the camp of thinking he would be great for the Chooks for 1 year!

                Will be great to have a genuine 9 and one who can play big minutes.

                  So did I Huncho
                  He's a different cat DCE, I actually like him & I think he's the type of guy Robbo & Nick like too.
                  It wouldnt surprise me if the Chooks are grooming him to eventually take over.
                  Will he play next season I say yes & it will be announced when he is ready.

                    Robson will make a huge difference to our side. Good, consistent service, out in front of the ball runner can add metres to every carry. He also reads the game well and makes good decisions. His defence is an added bonus, being a bit of a bigger body, although Watto did put in a huge effort in D this year.

                      as in we won't be having a new 7 coming to the club?

                        Ha good one Vic. That was one of the Footy Shows funniest moments. I think it went even longer than that grab, that cat was hilarious.

                            Thanks mate.

                            Big show yours, I'll be saving. Main go's that race for me Willydoit and Encap. Think its the right time to take on the fave, but if she is really "Baby Winx" we are in trouble.

                              Sportsbet paying a win for coming 2nd.
                              $9 for top 2 seems a solid bet.
