2012 predictions?

[Guest]

We're signing Tagive and Moga comes of age which makes a pretty fast back line. SKD and Perrett are great in the air as well which is why we should send some more cross field bombs to them. Add in injured players coming back and we have a really good team.

Yes, brilliant team. Just like we had in 2009 and in 2010 before Carney switched to 5/8th.

People have very quickly forgotten that tactically it was Carney who created extra space for people like FPN and SKD to make them look like superstars.

Well we seem to be doing pretty well without him now so what's the difference between now and next year?... MORE PLAYERS TO CHOOSE FROM!!! Plus your a roosters fan, you should be thinking positive

I am personally not excited about fluking two wins against the two worst teams in the comp. We have the slowest outside backs and the worst 5/8th in the comp (Anasta) and it is difficult to see next year being much different to this year. Anything we achieve will be off the back of our young and promising forward pack.

He's not the worst five-eighth in the game. Learn your footy mate.

Doing pretty well? Fluking wins in the dying minutes against two teams who are both on a six match losing streak?

My apologies. He is not the worst but very close to. If you still disagree then tell where he ranks amongst these:

Gareth Widdop
Kieran Foran
Darren Lockyer
James Maloney
Ray Thomson
Benji Marshall
Jamie Soward
Jarred Mullen
John Sutton
Ben Roberts
Travis Burns
Braith Anasta
Albert Kelly
Terry Campese
Greg Bird
Jarred Hayne

Well, he's definately better than Thompson, Burns, Bird (playing 5/8), Sutton, Albert Kelly, and many others. Just cos he's not as skilled as some other five-eighths doesn't mean he's not a good player. He bleeds RW&B and he's one of the best captains in the game. He plays with passion and inspires the team.

Geez Dice,
Anasta (plus HAyne, Bird and Campese) is better than Sutton, Burns and Roberts.
Sutton is without doubt one of the worst 5/8s ever to play the game.

[Guest]

jj, and many others? Go on? I would say Ben Roberts and NO others. I would also question whether he is any better than Travis Burns or Greg Bird.

Anasta is better than half a dozen 5/8ths tops, and it is no coincidence that none of them are in the top 8 other than the one who is playing along side the best halfback in the world.


KB, I didn't rank them. They were sorted by NRL ladder position.

This year every team has been good you know... making the 8 MIGHT require 30 points.
Just so disappointing what Carney and Nate have done to us. Nate more than anything coz he has less problems and should know better.

Transit lounge 2010...

[ism22]

2011 sorry

[Guest]

Anasta will kick the ball out on the full to kick off round 1. Hopefully the season gets better from there. I am hopeful of top 6 even with Anasta at 5/8. Finally some speed in the side as well as some mongrel

My 2012 prediction is that the Mayan's will be found out to be full of crap.

[stephenj]

we will win on a more consistant basis next season, a lot depends on moga and the new recruits, im tipping easts at 8 merge at 10 lol@50ffs 12, manly to compete with brisbane and melbourne along with tigpies for top 4?whoever gets tod for 9 or 11?

They can't be wrong, all they predicted was the end of their calendar on 21-12-2012...which will end on 21-12-2012.

As far as the Roosters go, I am passionately indifferent about next year. Depending on what I see next year I'll get excited for 2013.

Chook.

[stephenj]

filthy that was as expected no fluke win by us over melbourne in the last round, you do get a better feel for the team at the game than via a wewbcast in belgium!
