Roosters 2012 Backline?

[Cockadoodledoo]

Do you remember when he first arrived to a fanfare of highlights packages from his tryscoring ability at the Raiders? What happened when he got here???????

I call it the youtube jinx

[Cockadoodledoo]

Who played better than him last year in the centres? No one.

I am not the greatest fan of Carney but I guarantee you he will be in the run on side in Rd 1 if he is not injured.

You dont have to reply yet just wait till Rd 1.

unless you are the coach you cannot guarantee anything.. He was disgraceful.

Our backline options are limited.
For me:
1 Mini
2 Sammy
3 BJ
4 SKD
5 The fastest winger we have and with some height
6. Braith
7. Jnr Jnr

Moga, Tagive, Henry...dear Lord..please let one of these players be a break-out superstar in 2012. Otherwise have to agree that back-line is looking pretty ordinary.

THIS.
Smith has already said Moga would have got a chance if he'd been old enough.
He may not be first choice centre - but he is ahead of that beachball that's for sure.

I don't want Carney anywhere near first grade. He is too short!

Thats as good as it gets Chook...with the cattle we have.

[Pass the Ball]

So many options..

Don't think we will see Carney in the centres..
Don't think we will see BJ and Moga in the same backline yet.
Aubbuson will be backrow on our right side of defence helping SKD up against Taylor and Inglis.

1. Mini
2. Perrett
3. SKD
4. Moga
5. Tagive

6. Anasta
7. Pearce

I don't mind that backline PTB, as long as BJ is on the bench as a backrower. For mine he would make a better backrower than Guerra on the left but I can see Smith picking him on the wing next to Moga nullifying any chances created with his lack of speed. Ideally, I'd have Leilua and Cordner fighting it out for the 11 (both better on the left) and Maubs and Guerra for the 12 (better on the right). As long as Aubusson isn't in the centres I'll be reasonably happy. Also hoping that Adam Henry is a lot quicker than BJ too cos if he's not then what's the point.

If Mortimer is at 6 we are ****ed as that means Bwaith is in the pack.

1. Mini
2. Pez
3. SKD
4. -
5. -
6. Bwaith
7. Jnr Jnr

That's pretty much a certainty barring injuries unfortunately, I think we'll be seeing BJ and Moga teamed on the other side together in the trials which is a massive concern. Tagive and Henry have a few weeks of training and trials left to impress and get a spot in the top 30 - neither has made it yet.

Agree. Although I would have Anasta at 6.

Moga may be something, but start him on the wing until he finds his feet. He has pace. BJ played reasonably well in the centres toward the back end of the year. I would persist with him. He has experience for a young guy, and should hold until there is a standout replacement.

I agree but with Anasta instead of Mortimer by a long way. Also I think Tagive will be pushing for a spot quite heavily.
