I don't necessarily agree. We made the grand final with the bulk of this team in place. Obviously we had a Dally M winning half in our team, but with his skill and ability came strong performances across the park. Confidence is an amazing thing in rugby league.Originally posted by tony the wheel View PostThe problem with any signings that we do make is that the Roosters is a vacuous hole, bereft of a good club culture, with a flawed dictator at the helm, and any signings that we do make are merely knee-jerk band aid measures that don't address the root cause of the problem.
Our roster for this season, one that is almost untouched by injury, is a joke. Our spine consists of 3 reserve graders and the most overrated player in the comp. Our players do not improve year on year.
Throwing a couple more high priced signings at the problem will do very little, if anything at all
The chairman will never learn. The place will never change until the chairman is gone
Maloney is no Carney but offers significantly more than Anasta and his game complements that of Pearce. SBW is one of the most dynamic footballers there is. These two players will make a huge difference.

We can't even beat teams when they have half their team out, we are by far the most inept team in the competition. I hope they get the spoon, they deserve it. Every week when this team is anounced I have to dry reach.Originally posted by theticket View PostC'mon Cogburn, you know that was a one off tribute to the coach. They will fall back again now with Kearney gone and Hayne out injured again.

Agreed Dubai. It's very hard to replace arguably the comp's best 5/8 when he is on to no argument the world's worst 5/8 and expect the team to perform. There was no time to find another decent option after we released Carney.Originally posted by Dubai View PostI don't necessarily agree. We made the grand final with the bulk of this team in place.

Maloney, SBW and Oldfield will improve our team as will the departure of Ansata and Perrett. The only concern is Mini playing fullback. I can possibly handle him on the wing and told not to touch the ball unless it is at the end of a backline movement but if they make him captain then I'd think we are stuck with him at fullback all year. We can't make the 8 with him believing he is another Barba or Slater getting involved in most of our plays.

Mini at fullback is a major problem. Performs well under the high ball but geez it was like he was standing still when Jennings ran past him.Originally posted by BUDDY View PostAgreed Dubai.

As much as I love the guy, it has to be sorted before next year.Originally posted by Dubai;233813 [BMini at fullback is a major problem. Performs well under the high ball but geez it was like he was standing still when Jennings ran past him.
I could handle Mini on the wing but we need a solid custodian. He ain't that anymore

Exactly!!! Some people on here keep living in 2010 land. How was he before 2010? How was he after 2010? That goose is deff talented but he needs to show that talent more than once every 2-3 years. Carney will always be remembered in league as the 'what could have been' guy.Originally posted by Big_Morls View PostDid you guys actually watch Carney yesterday
He was worse than diabolical
I fear for the Sharks, he is showing signs!
