Mini to the wing, RTS fullback

[Guest]

As much as I like the Roosters youth policy I think they have brought players on to quick. If next year your backline consists of RTS Moga BJ Henry SKD Maloney & Pearce I really cant see them competing with the good sides. It is still way to young & inexperienced.

Firstly there are to many Islanders & Secondly Maloney is not going to be this instant saviour. We will still have Pearce Friend & Mini in key position with the same dud coach. Sticking with the players we have now realistically wont get results for at least 5 years.

Why should this matter?

This is more than true. Many rooster fans I have spoken to have rated Maloney as the next freddy, but watching him he doesn't seem like a type of player who can create something from nothing like a marshall or Carney.All the more disappointment for us not joining the race for signing Foran.

I reckon sonny bill will be our best player next season without a doubt.

WTF does that have to do with anything?

Also, arent some of the players you mentioned the ones that so many on here were jumping up and down to give them a crack at 1st grade?

Mini to left right out and RTS to fullback sounds better.

I direct you towards Ben Barba. We need an aboriginal winger or fullback. They have a natural talent for speed that a lot of other players don't.

Mini has been listed at fullback, hopefully this wont be the case come gameday??? Surely he knows he is a liability & needs to stay away & live off his wifes shoe business

We're talking about an Italian, remember. We have giant ego's that cannot countenance criticism.

Winning consistently. Islanders go missing & rarely do the Roosters get a good one.

No mate thats just racist. The All-Blacks dominate world rugby and are predominantly islanders. Also see players like Troy Polamalou, Haloti Ngata, Hines Ward, Domonique Peko amongst many others that are at the very pinnacle of the NFL.

Hines Ward is half Korean and half African American.

Dude I am no racist, I dont care what nationality someone is.
When I am talking about Islanders I am referring mainly to Tongans & Somoans & to a lesser degree Fijians Cook Islanders & Papa New Guineans not Aboriginals Maori's or Negros.

France rank higher than Samoa or Tonga in Rugby League.
In regards to Tonga & Somoa they are relatively new to the game of League it has only just been intoduced to both nations so IMO they are not quite up there yet in the whole aspect of the game & I think that carrying 4 or 5 in your team is not the way to go. All the top teams only have 2 or 3 in there squad.
