New Signings- Take 2

[taipan]

From your rural correspondent Clarry Cowpat..
"We had the quality cattle in 2016,all Wagyu quality including rampaging bull Fifita..
With the Greg Norman like folding in 2017,we had Hereford cattle.Some quality some meh.
Rancher Flanno needed to offload some of the tired old ones for 2018,he wants quality for the next stampede.Hence the cull."

I'll give you Chad, I think most of us would have preferred he stayed rather than keeping Robbo.

The others though, it's always very easy in hindsight. How would you have fitted Frizz, Peach, Addo Carr and Scott in first grade or in the cap? It's not that easy.

Of course it'd be great to have those guys in the team now, but they left a few years ago, not now.

Let's not forget how almost everyone wanted to keep Lichaa, how did that turn out? You can't win them all.

Probably yeah some of those players did want to leave. I have a real issue with Scott leaving though. Just dissapointed because he was always going to make it yet we keep players like Feki and Beale, and I'm going to put noses out of but Loots is average. There is no x factor player now in the backs. That's the main issue . Hopefully Dugan explodes.

I thought Scott left partly because he needed to get out the shire

If he stayed he may not even be playing anymore

The one main issue i have with Flanno is that our 17th player plays little minutes sometimes only 10, that is where good chance to blood young player gives him feel of first grade week in week out

 

[Windy70]

Luckily last year was a weak comp. A slack year for every other team. Apparently.

Not sure if correct The Lurker saying we are close to offloading Edrick Lee, couple of clubs looking for outside back depth

Why would we offload such outstanding talent?

After he cost his club 2 finals in the 2016 series (& ultimately a grand final appearance imo), I’m really wondering why we bought him as he really failed when the stakes were high.

I’m thinking maybe it’s because we had a deal that if he threw the game against us, we’d give him a contract?

I think Flanno was worried Barba had gone Holmes/Feki injured preseason and Flanno loves experience instead of punting on a young player, and Lee was available

Cedrick was as instrumental in us winning in 2016 as Fifi was imo.

There's no question that we can definitely improve on integrating young players into the nrl. Jayden Brailey, case in point as to why we should. Get to work Flanno, it's a shortcoming.

Faaaarrrkkk that!

 

[King Ben]

I'd gladly take Keary instead.

 

[Griffoshark66]

Imagine all the super high bombs Myth could put up. Exciting stuff.

 

[Frenzy.]

The one to take would be Jake Friend

He is the glue in that Roosters side. Great mentor to the Brailey’s as well.

FMD now for the Uncle Frenz fright of the day

6. Matt Mythlan 7. Myth Piss

I just gave myself a contrecoup injury

If Friend is replacing Segy I'd have no problem with that but Brailey should be our first choice hooker for the foreseeable future.

Hahaha that article... how do the Roosters seem to come out smelling like roses, for ‘sticking by’ Pearce and not sacking him?! FMD! From memory everyone thought he deserved the sack, and would’ve received it at 90% of clubs. What good guys the Roosters are

I do agree that the professionalism that Cronk will take to his new club cannot be underestimated.
