LATEST: Trent Robinson article on Roosters & SBW

[Rooster_6]

I reckon TR will use SBW as a lock, like we did with Anasta in 2010.

Braith played in the second row, not lock.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Trent Robinson uses SBW.*
I'd position him at 13 but not play as a modern day lock, battering ram/extra prop.*
* I'd like to see him running both sides of the field on the fringes and creating space for SKD & Moga A-la Glen Stewart.

SBW'a ability to off-load in traffic will create so much space for our outside men.*

I look upon Sonny Bill Williams as a Alex Rodriguez type of player. He comes in, wins games for you, and should move on. Being an avid Yankees fan, I'm watching A-Rod enter a slow decline from his former greatness, at 37. If we get Sonny at the peak of his powers and utilize them to win a comp (or two, depending on the contract) then let him go on, it will benefit us.

apparently Dean Ritchie is trying to get Trent Robinson on the gameplan next thursday and give him a grilling about the Roosters, would be good to hear first hand what Trent has planned for 2013.

Catalans are playing Wigan in a play off tomorrow, so I would imagine TR will still be in France or the UK next week, especially if they beat Wigan, the Game Plan must be getting him on via satellite or something because I don't think he'll be back in Australia by then.

That short-armed little twerp...its actually quite comical watching him play the angry hard hitting journo on that show...less scary than a fur seal pup.

His head is waaaaayyyyyyy too big for his body! Do they call him bulldog because he looks like (the back end of) a bulldog or does he go for the Dogs??

Ritchie reminds me of minime from Austin Powers fame.

Chook.

B.M., that was the point I was making. A past hero, like Mini, still struggling against injury and obsolescence.

I doubt he's watched all of our games this season, let alone in depth enough to have an informed opinion what exactly he's going to do next year. I imagine he'll be sitting in front of the TV for weeks on end when he gets back doing a lot of video.

If Sonny Bill signs for more than 1 year, he has to go begging to the NRL to allow him to play in a different code (i.e. Japanese Rugby) in the 2013 off season. Since that code is offering him $1m for 10 games, he would be a complete idiot to sign for more than 1 year. I reckon we can count on having SBW with us for at least 3 years, but 1 year at a time.

I have heard this too but the reality is, if we have a shitty year or he has a shitty year, he will opt out. No doubt the Bulldogs saga early in his career has something to do with his preference for a shorter deal as well. It still seems a little surreal, this Sonny Bill thing.

Now that's some Gold there mate. I can't cop the bloke.

Imagine the reach he'd give away in a fight, and his melon being so big would be the easiest target ever.

Yeh he made me cringe a few times when I got to watch the game plan over the last few months. I was hoping on more than one occasion someone would just lay one on his rather large head.

The Game Plan is a fat man's sweaty arse crack.

See tonight's wretch-inducing Souths love as Exhibit A.

He's a Shmoo.
