The nly good buy we should make is Tariq Sims for next year

[Bansai Pipeline]

Yep, I'd keep kane over napa if thats what has to happen.

For real?

Unbelievable.

In about 10 games Napa has basically cemented a career in first grade.

Just think that kane will be a meter eater, where napa is known for a few big tackles at the moment. Unless he was injured, liu is still preferred by the coach, when jwh and casty come back, I dont see either of napa or evans being regular benchers this year.

Judging by the way he played against us last weekend, I would look at signing the bull$cumdog$hit player Tim Browne. He made 156m and 31 tackles coming off the bench, and is off contract at the end of this year. He is one big unit at 194cm and 112kg!

The Roosters don't need the bloke IMO. I don't even think he is that good a player. He looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane.

[Game Fowl]

Cowboys have shown faith in him through the tough times and he repays them after years of no return with " I am not happy "
Is this the type of character we need , I think not . We have a class squad now let us stick with them and follow the Cowboys lead and show Faith, in what we have.

I like the guy as well he runs hard, but besides the game against us doesn't really get through that much work

I'm just going off what he did against us, which was impressive! I have hardly seen much of the dog$cum this year.
I mentioned him as a potential signing cause I am frustrated at our lack of go forward and lack of impact off the bench this season.

I also mentioned him cause he is off contract at the end of this year and imagine that he wouldn't cost much.

Hopefully Evans, Napa, Liu, Casty (when he finally starts playing) will get it together and sort out these two issues and then we won't have to look at signing someone else to fix it.

It all comes down to our coach in the end .
He should have the smarts to bring it all back to life.
We have to accumulate some decent points because the SOO is going to have an effect on us .
I think once that is out of the way we should get a good roll on towards the business end of the season.
There have been some subtle rule changes and I am sure it has impacted the way we are playing now compared to last year.
Yes the forwards need to put more in and make some room for our backs .Yes our dummy half needs to get the ball out quicker...and yes the rest of them have to respond smarter .Teams are getting sucked into the new rules ... which makes you play take the ball up and kick .With a bit of know how you can still throw the ball around .New attacking structure required.
We have a great nucleus in Friend,SBW, Pearce and Maloney and they are the go to players to get things moving.Now they can get sucked in by Parra or we can give Parra another flogging.
...and yes I would look at some other options for next year your not always gonna breed young blokes to take over buy two players ..may be Fergo may be Sims .

My main concern is that we are not accumulating the competition points now, cause as you mention, origin time is going to have an impact on us. I know we are going to make the top 8, but it is a must that we make the top 4 if we want to go back to back.

As you know our attack has become so predictable this year, which is why Fergo is a must to add that major X factor that we have been sorely lacking!

Tariq could be a good signing, I wouldn't say no.

C'mon mate, get off the fergo bandwagon. By the time he was fit and up to speed, the season would be over.

Not that the NRL are going to re-register him any time soon.

This season is out of the question due to his injury and most likely cause of NRL not allowing him to play this year.
Next year is a totally different story! We will just have to agree to disagree, as I have no doubts that he will be playing NRL next year and that he will kick some serious arse!!

If you are happy enough to stick with the predictable ineffective SKD than so be it, but I'm not!

No mate, by half way through this year, I'll have by colours pinned firmly to the mast of Mr Moga.

If we're looking for another 3/4....Nofoaluma hasn't assaulted or groped anyone yet, as far as I know....he'll do for me.

RTS, Tupou, Jenko, Moga and Nosferato. That's gold.

[Tommy Smith]

We have our own 3/4 talent coming through with Moga & Milne. They're not SuperMegaReserveGraders either ... they're genuinely talented kids.

No need to look elsewhere. By 2016 we'll see:

1. RTS
2. Tupou
3. Jennings
4. Milne
5. Moga

That'll do.

[John Corey]

Some of you guys are over reacting. Yep Tariq would be a great buy. But dont buy him coz the Dogs steamrolled our pack. This team and pack ( minus LOD) won the whole bloody thing last year. Now some are talking like we have a weak pack. Give em time. We are suffering a little hangover, no more than that.

And yeah Sonny is going so naturally we will replace him, but this pack we have is terrific.

Looks like we are on the same wave length that SKD needs to go, and I am with you 'BIG' time with pinning our hopes on Moga!!

For me I would absolutely love to see Fergo in the centers and Moga outside of him. However the scenario that you created with Moga at center and Nofo outside him does appeal to me.
