Season over

[roosterchook]

We have great up and coming players but it’s going to take a few seasons for them to shine. The only serious contenders this year according to the media are Penrith and Souths. I would hope Penrith would win if it came down to that but Bennett is very shrewd.

how about Gareth Widdop? would solve the halves problem and goal kicking in one

Freddy's banging on that the Chooks should sign him - depending on what Friends decision is it could well be back on the cards?

Next year I think we need to go for Mitch Kenny and Tevita Pangai Junior
(assuming correctly Cords and Friendy retire).

I watched him the other night playing for Warrington and he still has all the skills, also kicking goals from everywhere..

Would be handy for us at the moment..

He lost me by his diving on that Anzac Day. Not the right stuff to be a rooster.

It was Euan Aitken that was the diver on that occasion if I recall correctly.

My take on our season being over is unfortunately a big yes. I don’t believe we have the defense to prevent getting thrashed by the top teams and in attack although we still have some fight it will not be enough. You need a really top defense to make the top 4 and we’ve had some very soft tries against us. Until we can reconstruct the Bondi wall I say we are no chance.

Pangai Jnr?? No way he is soft. we have better forwards already

Not just him. Widdup had a couple of goes. So did Nathan Fien. Probably more that I can’t remember.

Widdup was just behind Aitken in the softcock stakes.

Not roosters material.

Yea thinking further about it there were a few Anzac day games with Dragons divers. I just remembered Aitken specifically for some reason.

I agree . Watched Pangai Jnr a couple of years back in a test match NZ vs Tonga.
Brandon Smith ran straight through him and scored a try, and then Pangai proceeded to miss another couple of tackles when defending on his own tryline.
Pass.

[roostermcgregor]

I'm watching the highlights of the NZ vs Tonga match in 2019.
Pangai Jnr (wearing No 11 jersey) missed two tackles on Shaun Johnson, and another on Jerome Hughes.
You can call the tackles pathetic, feeble or non existent - you can take your pick.

Upwards and onwards
