RTS Defence

[Rooster_6]

Nah Moga was never ready, I said he should play another year in the 20's and work on his defence but no one would have a bar of it.

Sheck is miles ahead as a player which is impressive given it's his first year in league.

He shouldn't be anywhere near the 20's. He wouldn't learn in that environment. It's probably where he picked up his lack of urgency... "oh well, I'll just score again next time I get the ball".

The kid can play. His defence is not that bad. Hopefully we get a clean run so he can play in one position without having to change it up every week.

Not that bad? He can't read the play for shit and his technique has always been dodgy.

There's no doubt he can play, I'd be surprised if he's not in origin within a couple of years but he's got a long way to go.

I imagine this year was an early wake up call for him, talent only gets you so far.

Sheck's tackle on Brett Morris in round 22 was enough to convince me.

Very few players could have denied Morris a try in that play, let alone
a rookie playing his second match in the top grade.
And he made it look easy.

He is a rare talent.

It was a very good tackle. Due to Morris' size and speed, most wouldn't have got to Morris to stop him, it was RTS's speed that enabled him to get to the play. He then showed his skill to complete the tackle.

I always like reading rooster6 comments most of times, but I remember r6 came out swinging after rts's 3rd nrl game saying he's ain't good & he's not ready, now for the last two weeks, r6 saying all the good things bout rts.
Moga will come right, he's got a different up bringing compared to other big kids out there. No need to yell or shout at him when he made mistakes, he need more one on one conversation than telling him off in front of the whole team. Island players can become very good or lost it at all depending how they feel in the environment they involved.
Gram Herny the last year's coach of the all blacks was one of the best coach to bring out the best out of polynesian players because he understand their up bringing. they are look big and solid from outside but those kids are still very much mummy's boy.
All I'm saying, be patients people, Moga will come right.

thanks, was worried it was going to clash with Hawthorn's prelim final, best of both worlds now with the Hawks kicking off at 5:15pm straight after the Roosters NYC match.

it sounds like we are doing the same thing fletch.

RTS is almost the complete player, but as R6 said earlier his play the balls are just bad. He never gets early play the balls due to the awkward way he plays it!

[fletch]

roosterproud/buddy, would be a massive upset if the Hawks get beaten, something horribly wrong would have to happen for them to lose to the Crows on the MCG, as for the Roosters NYC boys its a 50/50 shot, we have beaten the tigers well twice this season but the last time we played them they were missing quite a few top line players.

I hope Evans is ok he carried the team He seemed to ne limping after the game.

Indeed he will.
Smith's method of communicating with Moga was pathetic to say the least. It actually had the opposite effect. TauTau will be a more confident & effective player under Trent & JT.

RTS my MOM

Evans ball discipline got us into trouble a few times, he loves the offload but will have to be more selective in top grade.

As with last week RTS try turned the game & momentum our way

He's a "super freak"

Evans did lose the ball twice at our own end which is true and could have cost us. It is just that the 20 minutes he was off the field, the Warriors steamrolled us. When he was on the field we had the upper hand. How good was his play to get the ball from dummy half 10 out from our own line when he saw the Warriors were short on the blind and he ran at the Winger and threw that magic offload to Forrester to send him running 75 metres downfield that was the catalyst for our second try. For a front rower that was excellent vision.

Gee there are a few Hawks fans on here too.

Go Hawks from me too!

[The Rooster Oracle]

The Hawks are bearable, but Carlton are the best footy club in the gAyFL! Now that the Blues have bought the best coach there is in Malthouse, a premiership will follow within 3 years!
