Carney is a selfish cuunt

Not often I agree with TOK. If you want a crack at the premiership then take a close look at the halves pairings in the top 8. Nearly every team has at least one game breaker in the halves.

It is no fluke that the only time we have been genuine contenders for the premiership is when we had a game breaker in the halves like Freddy or Carney.

Melbourne won with Finch and Cronk - neither of them game breakers. You also need a good 9, and 1. But most of all Rugby League is won by forwards.

Living proof of this was our last 4 victories. As our forwards dominated we got better and better to teh point where you could say, teh Melbourne game would have been the same result even with Smith and Slater playing.

Ahem, Finch was a gamebreaker.

Our last 4 victories:
We beat Saints who had won 2 of their previous 11 games.
We fluked a late win against the Sharks who were on a 6 game losing streak
We fluked a late win against the Eels who were on a 6 game losing streak
We beat Storm minus half their team who were more interesting in not sustaining any injuries than winning the game.


Maybe should look at the Storm's backline or Saint's backline compared to ours. If you don't have a match-winner in the halves then you had better have some money left over for the likes of Boyd/Morris/Knightingale/Slater/Inglis.

We have Minichiello/BJ/Perrett... lol.

Cronk is most certainly a gamebreaker

Melbourne have the best 9 in the world, and the best 1 in the world

The only sides that can carry a Finch or an Anasta in the halves are sides that have quality in other key positions

Melbourne = yes
Roosters = no

Without forwards, halves cant do anything.

You have very quickly forgotten what we were like before Carney switched to 5/8th last year. Compressed defence and our forwards getting smashed just like the good old days with Finchy running the show.

Our forwards this year were found wanting.

We will not win the comp with our current 1 and 6, it's that simple.

2012 is a building year towards a crack at the title on 2013 with decent players in those positions.

Chook.

"This is spot on.I spoke to a current roosters staff member who was contacted by Mcguire who wants him at Souths.He gave madge the advice to,'leave Todd alone for a couple of weeks while he finishes his benders then talk to him about footy'. I for one am sick of the nice guys(us)finishing 9th(or worse) and reckon whatever Mcguire wants he should get,and let him live and die by his results. "

I guess there will be a fair bit of rumors floating around until a formal decision is made regarding Carney.

[chook 56]

Reading back through the posts on members ideas of who should be at the club/signed/play what position etc, it is apparent to me that the club should assign thechookpen the task of picking the players for 2012/13 & what positions they should play.
We all agree on everything. lol

Funny how one person can look at something & see diamonds, another will see a rock.

Roosters had no problem with Carney's late night drinking sessions in Atherton, or in Sydney in 2010. Noyce was also well aware Carney had been on the turps for weeks before his latest "indiscretion". It only appears to matter to the Roosters if it appears in the newspapers. I am still awaiting punishment for the other teammates who were drinking along with Carney/Myles/FPN...but unless they are named in the newspapers....

The simple truth is you only have to look at recent history to see the roosters are a bunch of pea-hearted primadonnas looking to blame anyone but themselves. The turnaround in form from chumps to champs after Freddy took over, followed by the wooden spoon in 2009 when they didn't like Freddy any more, was an absolute disgrace. People like JT think they are fixing the problem by blaming the likes of Freddy, Mason, Carney, but in reality they are actually part of the problem by not accepting the team lacks professionalism and accountability. It is the typical loser mentality of blaming someone else for your problems.

That is the best post of this shit thread. Its always easy to blame others when the club from the board to supporters generally stink.
