Foxsports Roach vs Fifita debate

[OzDragon]

I shudder at the the thought of how unbearable an actual debate between Roach and Fifita would be.

That would be better than Roach v Lockyer.

Roach: "Just need to score some points" "need to tackle" "have to come from behind to win"

Lockyer: "the uh NRL uh huh stop hmm uh a and uh huh oh play oh uh oh ooh eee ooh ahh ahh ting tang walla walla bing bang....uh

Didn't see Roach play but must've been a hell of a player if he is better than Fifita.
On his day Fifita can dominate a game. A big man with soft hands...

he'd be the first prop picked if he was running around today, quite easily...not rendered some impact player

 

[carcharias]

Ha
Dunno about first picked
Running around for tigers maybe

Plenty of props since his time that we're easily as good.
Lazo
Webke
Even sirro was up there with with Roach but without the dumb stuff.
Les davo
Carrol

yes we've had much better props over the years, but i was talking about the squad today.

he's far better than woodsy tamou klemmer and fifita.

put a blues alltime team together blocker is in the mix....none of those 4 above would catch a mention

 

[McLovin]

Is Steve Roach the fat genius on foxsports?

You do know that Fifita, Tamou and Klemmer don't play for the tigers?

Fifita does shit Roach never could've ... he's quicker , stronger has a great step and probably the best fend of any prop playing.
Roach was slow as shit and fat ..but had a great offload.
Roach would last about 10 mins in today's game before being carried off with exhaustion or from a heart attack.

here we go with the every player today is a better athlete argument....based off this, luke kelly is a better player than wally lewis.

blocker was exceptionally quick for a prop, that already proves how much you saw of him, he was a pioneer of offloads and knew how to fire up his team mates, natural born leader, something fifita is not and never will be speaking of lazy bastards who cut corners.

Ha

I'll give you this
Roach had a better play the ball and offload.

Other than that Fifita is
Faster
Stronger
Way more elusive
Breaks more tackles with his fend ( by a couple of country miles)
Scores way way more try's
Club level Roach 206 games= 13 try's
Club level Fifita 145 games = 32 try's
He has played for state and country ....and has scored the winning try in a grand final.
Done it all really.

Great thread.

 

[muzby]

Great thread.

Not as good as the threads in the 80s though..

yet can't get a start for his start

That's a joke right?

 

[Danish]

I'll need to see Fifita in a dress and pair of fishnets before I can make a call tbh

 

[kdalymc]

Him and that other bloke from the roosters in the 90s. Yuk, get some hair

 

[Canard]

Roach wasn't quick at all, had a good offload and healthy dose of mongrel though.

 

[adamkungl]

Fifitas definitely smarter

State?
