Next Weeks team

[Pass the Ball]

It should be noted that

Taka
Bosden
Ailaomai

all played in a Newtown team that was trounced by Newcastle reserve grade on Saturday..

Usually there is a reason people play reserve grade...That reason usually is they are reserve graders..

Good point.

The answer to the Roosters problems is not currently in Newtown. Nor is it in the Roosters line up.

And it sure as hell isn't an over the hill rugby second rower.

Jack Africa and Funky Flashman, I hate to tell you this but Captain Braith "Death, poison, hate, rage, frustration, violence, death, Joseph Kony's recruiting officer, 4 more years of the Federal G.A.L.P., any government headed by Tony Abbott, any economy run by Wayne Swan or Joe Hockey, horror, Giallo without nudity, life without Miranda Kerr or Megan Gale, life with Kate Waterhouse, being stuck inside in Mobile with the Memphis Blues again, getting into a betting syndicate with Robbie Waterhouse when he's been to Bunning's paint section, being in the room when Jamie Packer realises that he wanted to build his casino resort in Belangalo State forest and has to deal with one of Ivan Milat's brothers as tour guide, losing control, losing, finding out I'm not as cool as my mother says I am, being found out, having people find out my favourite movie is Xanadu, having people find out I've never seen the Godfather all the way through, having people find out that I didn't enjoy Star Wars quite as much as I let on, running out of things to write instead of our captain's name, getting another wooden spoon, being stuck with our Captain for another 4 years, hearing Sonny Bill Williams has signed with us, finding out Brian Smith has signed for another 4 years, James Maloney having a career ending injury " Anasta will be in the side, barring unforeseen circumstances of an accidental nature.

His birth certificate must be as thick as the phone book ?

Tai Tuivasa may look like a fat heap, but the bloke has more ball skills in the end of his knob than our current halves combined.

He would contribute more in his 30 mins on the field than alot of our others would in 80

You know the Greeks, every one of them thinks they're Cleisthenes of Sicyon or Aristotle Onassis and beefs their birth certificate up redux.

Horse for courses, you CANNOT play Carney against Raiders this week, Ferguson and the new kid "Wighton" combined with McCrone and Campese kicking game will mean Raiders 60 - Roosters fark all

[bondi-boy]

tagive and moga should play next week, raiders wingers are tall and can jump, please no carney! otherwise they will be kicking to the corners all day

Carney is a centre....and must be played there! and not on the wing.

I am not a fan of Carney but I can't fault his effort on the weekend.

The support for Carney on here is astounding, perhaps it is a Toddy hangover.

Yeah he runs hard and can tackle. But there is NOTHING easier for even the smallest opposing wingers than knowing your opposite number is NOT going to beat you with footwork, is NOT going to beat you in the air, and is NOT going to beat you with pace - all he is going to do is run straight back at you.

Pretty much all first grade wingers can tackle. You have to be a truly massive unit to play a one-dimensional, run-over-the-top-of-em game, and Carney just isn't big enough.

Carney plays the type of game I want FPN to play. Mental runs head first into the defence, trying to barrell people over rather than step around them. But he's a fuucking winger, not a backrower/prop.

Part of the reason our halves look so ordinary, and that we are so impotent outwide, is that we have two backrowers in the centres (MAubs does a capable job, BJ hangs on by the skin of his teeth), and one bush footy prop on the wing.

Get some real outside backs outwide and we'll play a lot better.

Even BlindFreddy can see it!
Carney played ok, but he is not a long term winger imho.

You are spot on as usual.

As is customary for smith, in the first round he picked a player not on form because carney's form did not deserve selection. He was completely outplayed in the trials by several other wing options. As is customary, smith will continue to pick players in the team that do not deserve to maintain their place whilst other more deserving players are left behind. Smith is a joke and the joke is on our once great club.

What type of shirt is that?

Is it one that says "Sack smith"?

Or "Pearce is a dud".

Or "Anasta is the biggest waste of cap space ever"?

Or "FPN is a bludger"?

Or "Friend can't attack"?

Or "We have no centres"?

Or "Many of our forwards are cream puffs who are only good for 1 good run or tackle per game"?

Then sign me up.
