Meanwhile, back at the footy...

[Intercept]

Scrolling through the training gallery pics on the official website, I noticed the following:

*Bernard Sutton in shot 14
*Still no sign of labels on the photos - too hard for Roosters marketing?
*A new bloke in shot 20 - Brock Gray?
*Some blokes in blue kit and others in white - presume it was an opposed session, is there a clue there as to who will play nines?

If we can't have footy or even a team announcement, can we at least have the obligatory, annual article about someone 'training the house down'?! I would probably eat that up about now!

Boring no fun in that Footy on a Footy site, no thanks

I was told by a very reliable source I cant tell you who my source is but I will give you all a hint it rhymes with President Pump that the Roosters mascot has been putting in extras & will be carving it up this year.

On another note Wests Tigers shopping Tim Simona around.....can we punt Copley and get him?

Me too, good player. Footwork and speed, has a little bit of Jenko about him

[Mickie Lane]

If the story is true I wonder why the Tigers would even contemplate releasing him?
I highly rate that Tim Simona & I bet if he is released he will end up at the Dogs.

Some of the 9's squad..............

Aubusson (capt)
Tetavano
Evans
Watson
Manu
Mitchell Cornish
JTS

They're obviously not risking high profile players.

They need to offload if they want to keep there big 4 in Teddy, Moses,Brooks and Woods. Your looking at 4 mil plus right there, probably closer to 5 mil.
Doesn't leave much for the rest of the squad

Thanks for sharing Gman. Great choice for captain and looking forward to seeing Connor have some fun in these games.

I was told that Brooks is the most expendable of the four - make of that what you will.

I've heard the exact same. I wonder if Des still wants an organising half?
