Most exciting backline in years?

You are in jest right :lol:


carney is the only attacker in the roosters backline and you find that exciting , lockyer the only one who creates for the broncos

i guess the dragons do have too many backline attackers and are too boring, because they a arent one man team.

Only one man teams seems to be the excitement machines on this site
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Did you notice that Darius Boyd is the go-to man for EVERY SINGLE PLAY THE DRAGONS DO IN ATTACK??? He's no different than Jarryd Hayne in this account; no surprise that during Origin period they can't score any points. While this isn't a bad thing, and certainly something I can't be critical of as it is the same with my team, surely you can't use that as an excuse for your criticisms.....

Carney being the only attacker in the Roosters backline?? Are you serious!? Mitchell Pearce is the NSW halfback, a brilliant playmaker and has done a lot more than you give him credit for. Then they've got Shaun Kenny-Dowall who can steamroll players out wide and is scoring a tonne of tries at centre, Sam Perrett who is one of the best dummy-half runners in the NRL and a real handful with his running, plus that young kid that looks really good (sorry forgot his name) and Anthony Minichello, a former Golden Boot winner who is setting up plays and supporting his halves all the time.....
They are far more dangerous in attack than the Dragons backline, end of story.

And Lockyer being the only one who creates for the Broncos? Jeez........
No offence....but some of your statements seem more derogatory than attempting to raise valid arguments.....

Why? What's so funny?

I rate Mitchell Pearce as one of the top 4 halfbacks in the competition....and I'm sure plenty of experts do too. And he is *still* maturing as a halfback.....

Lol the Broncos don't have the best prop in the game next year. Petero declined the invitation and Scott and Shillington are under contract.

If recent memory extended to this arvos viewing of the Broncos last game on VCR, probably yes.

It's not even the most exciting in the comp at present.

I think next year at the dragons you will see

1. Boyd
2. Nightingale
3. Gasnier
4. Stanley
5. Morris

Which has the capability to be anything - the centres are very creative and by the middle of next year Gaz should be back to something like the form he left in ... I do agree though that the potency of that backline is let down somewhat by the halves giving them service - that however is what happens when you have a team that adheres to the restrictions of the salary cap.

:lol:

Lockyer wouldn't even have the 2nd most try assists at the Broncos... As much as I love our captain, Lockyer doesn't create a great deal for the Broncos in attack.
He sends them in the right direction, but basically once he throws that ball back to Hoffman (or Hunt in recent years) it's basically up to Hoffman, the center and the winger to make something of it...
Shows how clueless you are... Gotta love people that rant on about sh*t they don't know about.

The architects of the the most points scored in a season, so you could argue they'd be pretty damn exciting. And they were.
