Nat Butcher

[Tommy Smith]

... was the only positive out of that game for me. I thought he showed plenty in his 30 odd minute stint. I mean he didn't set the game alight but I saw more than enough promising signs and lots of progression from last year.

I genuinely think he can be a world class forward and he's about to get an extended run in the team which will be great to see...

He looked good apart from the brain snap we never recovered from.

At least he was prepared to offload.

[Tommy Smith]

Yeah I actually didn't mind the attempted offload. It was a good offload in terms of technique lol

I suspect a Bunny called for it but having poked his nose through the line so well, Teddy or the halves should have been backing him up.

Alas they've probably forgotten what an offload is.

Radley was the Roosters best forward last night.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Last night, just as in the losses against the Warriors and Tigers, we had no support runners. The forwards were all one out. I cannot believe this is just something that happens on the night and can only conclude it is in the game plan.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Radley was the Roosters best forward last night.

Had the most impact but I thought Cordner was consistently good all night. I do think Butcher is worth persisting with.

He has been our best since his shocker against the Dogs.

[RoosterFanNZ]

the one youngs are the best in the team apart from keary, fergo and cronk

[Thirteen]

Hard to look past his ridiculous offload. Dumb midget.

[Mickie Lane]

The young blokes like Latrell & Radley are the only 2 that show any sort of aggression whilst the high payed players just do what they have to do. No aggression or intimidation in any of them except for the 2 named.

[Thirteen]

Jarred is a family man now and plays like it too.
They should all be ashamed when they see 92kg Radley go in for a big hit.

Have you gents ever thought you are comparing young bucks trying to make their bones in 1st grade with older wiser heads who have a different mentality and naturally have adjusted their play.

In fact I reckon the reason you liked the JWHs and Napas is because they were once those same young bucks.

That said I also am enjoying seeing these kids show their older pigs how hard they are.

I reckon it may just fire the old boys up at some more important times later in the season.
