    Undisciplined however from what Ive seen
     
  2. Magic AJ Parker

    Yeh he's still in Sydney, Jake Friend ended up flying with First Grade. Believe he's got a fitness test at 3pm today.
     
  3. Magic AJ Parker

    Yeh our head of recruitment reckons he's the best kid he's ever signed which is a huge rap given how long he's been in the game and players he's signed. Just a matter of whether he can make the jump up to 20's and then First Grade. He's still only 17 so a long way off.

    Did you ever play against his brother Shaq? Dropped from 140kgs to 120 in the off-season and has apparently been tearing it up in the 20's this year.

    yeah hes the stereotypical aboriginal footy player bro. he's a hot head up himself type dude, can give away penalties and shit, you know what they're like in our group

    yeah he was a massive cunt i hated it hahaha
     
  5. GYR DW Lewis

    Loved Robos interview on 360 tonight.

    "We're the Roosters, we'll be right"
     
  7. Jimmy J Read

    indeed hahah nah i'm hoping he does make it, it'd be pretty cool to see someone i used to play against for years playing nrl at my age haha

    Remember watching him abuse a referee or get in a punchup or something and his parents/family carrying on like typical shitcunt abos and praising him for it cunts has talent but he comes from a group of disgusting humans

    yeah it was the u/16's grand final hahah, when i played that one season at camden haven (when us sharks players carried that side to the grand final) yeah that day he scored 3 tries himself amd set up atleast another 1 or 2 ha. got motm etc
     
  10. Benny BS Read

    Yeah that's right - he was outstanding you and the rest of the forward pack slaughtered them and Blake played well too and he pretty well single handedly won the game
     
  11. Benny BS Read

    Didn't he get binned or something and still got motm?
     
  12. Jimmy J Read

    probably hahah
     
  13. BigGuns DA Astele

    RTS huge meters again.

    He's always had that natural work ethic. In the 20's it was common for him to come up with 30 carries.

    I'm just not convinced it's the best thing for him. If you can cut out 5-10 of those carries and share that workload between the 3/4's all of a sudden he's less fatigued and he can start benefiting the team where we need him most. Affecting the scoreboard.

    I thought it was telling last night when Evans made a 60m break and no one was there to support him. That's the type of opportunity your fullback needs to be taking.

    Unfortunately for Sheck whilst Macdonald has been strong in his carreis and SKD has been great he's not getting much help from Jenko & Toops so that workload is pretty much a must.

    Definitely something the coaching staff need to look at. We needed him fresh at the end of that game because it was there for the taking but he was quite visibly buggered.
     
  15. BigGuns DA Astele

    Yeah he would be deadly if he sniffed around for an offload like a Wade McKinnon type FB.
     
  16. Benny BS Read

    Your forwards need to be working harder to take early set carries and RTS should have 3/4's in support when kick returning so defence can't just commit multiple players on him every time
     
  17. Toolman TR Man

    Yeah our infamous roll forward isn't there at the moment and there's no excuse given the amount of breaks they get thanks to our backs.. their only excuse is the amount of penalties they give away and having to start every set in their own 10.. and that's because of their own stupidity.
     
  18. Magic AJ Parker

    The forwards are carrying their weight in workload, no issues with that. They're generally back for play 3 carries which is all you can ask. It's a strange criticism. It's Toops that just isn't offering us anything in yardage at the moment that's killing us coming out of our own end.

    Agree with Toolman though we've struggled to really get a roll on this year, I think there's a lack of balance between the bench and our starting pack in terms of power runners but that's largely just because Moa has been off his game this season. We're fine when our bench comes on as seen in the Broncos game, we started to roll them with ease it's just when our starting pack is on that we can't seem to get any dominance in the ruck. I'd promote Napa & Taukeiaho to the starting side this week, both have been awesome off the bench for us all year and give us some more power in attack and defence.

    A bench of Liu, Moa & Evans is still incredibly good, arguably better given the balance of players.

    My worst nightmare has come true. SKD extends his contract for 2 more years. What the fuck is the club thinking? What a waste of space.
