Why don't you stick that in your signature instead of the verbal diarrhea you pollute every thread with. Just say Braith hater and be done with it, no need to drag down every thread with the same broken record response you so love to spout.

It irks me that so many players have to "convince" others that they're worthy of being praised but so many others, Carney for example, are lauded from the get go.

For a guy that was playing Qld bush footy for 12 months to come in and do what he has done IN 4 ROUNDS in my mind deserves all the praise he gets.
There are some in our squad who have been on very decent coin indeed that havent shown half his ability in 4 years!!

Spot on.

Chook.

you need to get past his looks

if you pay someone marquee money you're entitled to expect marquee results

What Braith delivers is eons away from being anything like marquee

If he was only getting paid $200K it wouldn't be so bad

marquee players must do more than be "team players"

but he's soooooo cute

"woohoo, Go Braithee"!!!

You my friend have been well and truly dudded if you think we brought "The Wraith" to this club for his footy skills.
Please, the guy is here for one thing only (apart from the obscene pay you smart arse ) and that is to encourage unsuspecting attractive to the eye, yet painful on the intellect females to part with large amounts of moolah on Chook merchandise in the hope of having their corned beef curtains parted by the Moses of Athens!!

Exactly, that's the only reason I bought my 2010 membership.

I dont know why you bother TOK. Braith could do a Nathan Merrit and there would be many on here not worrying about the butchered try but instaed praising him for making such a long run

LMAO !! You're too modest Lauren!
I hear on the grapevine that along with groin stiffening good looks and being more than a handful in the sack, that you actually defeated Richard Wilkins in a celebrity.....um ....celeb off!

On a side note, Mr W's ex once cooked Adolf poached eggs at a funky Northern Rivers retreat....but i like em raw so she lucked out!

I won't lie...I lost you after the first sentence.

I wouldnt.

Then again I have never been a fan of Bwaiff in our side.

Sure he tries hard, he can defend and hit a hole, but hes very Funchesque.

The only reason I see him in the side is hes the captain and there isnt anyone else in the side at the moment who could do the job justice IMO.

Watching some of his kicking options in that 2nd 1/2 last week I had a bad case of de ja poo. He just takes shit options alot of the time.

My only hope is he can leave the attack and short kicking game to Carnage and Pearceoffjackgibson and play a back seat role. Just stick down that short blind and play with dopey wingers rushing out of the line. Then defend his arse off. Play simple footy basically. Leave the fancy shit to the blokes who do it best.

You must have me confused with someone else - I don't think he's good looking.

Just a champion player and person.

I'm a bit 'long in the tooth' to be swayed by a player's good looks. I was never a Craig Wing devotee either.

So no need to demean my opinion by putting it down to infatuation with the bloke. It's based on football alone.

Fair enough

Let's just go with the following formula then;

pay marquee money for 5 years - player only delivers the performances of an average first grader = very bad investment

Situation normal at the Roosters in recent memory regarding ALL marquee players - why single out Braith.

If you want to criticise someone, perhaps start with Roosters management, who offered him the contract terms he's been given. Roosters management were the ones who made the decision he was worth marquee money, not Braith.

I find it interesting how you always contend that no one can be sure of a player's contract price, but you seem pretty certain of Braith's.

The reality is you have no idea.

you're a very strange woman

you swing from one poorly argued point to the next in your defense of Braith

I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it

If Braith is not the Roosters highest paid player, he is very, very close to it

If you doubt that, then there is no hope for you
