Where the hell is this kid is he injured he needs to be in our 17

[elo]

Why?

Bosden doesn't even consider himself a professional footballer, I'm still trying to figure out why the club bought him.

[Guest]

Cos he has more heart than wat we have at the moment

[Guest]

Some of you go on about how good this bloke is.
I wonder if any of these people have ever seen him play appart from the few minutes he's been in first grade this season.

What does this mean. What does he think he is?

His interest in rugby league comes and goes, he's already quit playing once and was very close a second time at the Dragons.

He plays for fun more than anything, then we threw stupid money at him after one good trial match and well he would have been stupid not to take the offer up. It was a pointless signing, we didn't need another second rower, let alone one that isn't 100% committed to being a professional footballer. He won't play much first grade over the span of his career.

Just looked at his Wiki profile, quite amusing:

"Originally a Cronulla-Caringbah junior, Jack Bosden made his debut for the St George-Illawarra Dragons in round 9 of the 2011 NRL Season. He plays in the front-row or second-row.

After initially being touted as following coach Wayne Bennett to the Newcastle Knights at the end of the 2011 season he eventually signed a two year contract commencing in 2012 with the Sydney Roosters. In his first season with the Roosters, Bosden set an NRL record with 100 tries in 22 games and won the Dally M Medal by the largest margin in history. After this record-breaking season, he was offered a contract of $100 million for 4 years playing AFL with the Western Sydney Giants which he accepted. As of he 2012 he will commence his AFL season."

Lol!!!!

I actually know Jack personally and can tell you that he is a super talented footballer (streets ahead of some of the nuffies currently pretending to be first graders in our team), he and Takarangi have played nearly all there football together from juniors up. Takarangi used to get all the raps due to his step and offloads, while Bosden is a willing worker who also has a great offload but is much more selective (Boso is also a much better defender than Taka).

I just want him to get more of a chance to prove himself as he is so much better than the likes of Mose, FPN and Aubusson, yet Smith refuses to drop them regardless of how shit they are and to give this guy a chance.

Funky,
I'm of the same opinion as you regarding Bosden's abilities and work ethic. He's the same mould as Daniel Conn, i cannot understand why Smith refuses to play him.
If you're in touch with him wish him well & tell him to hang in there & not give up hope. I've no doubt the incoming coach will appreciate his talents & give him a decent go.
