Sydney Roosters Best Team for 2013

[john13]

Hey guys what do you think is Sydney Roosters best team for 2013

This is what i think

1.Anthony Minichiello
2.Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
3.Michael Jennings
4.Shaun Kenny-Dowall
5.Michael Oldfield
6.James Maloney
7.Mitchell Pearce
8.Martin Kennerdy
9.Jake Friend
10.Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
11.Sonny-Bill Williams
12.Aiden Guerra
13.Boyd Cordner

14.Tinirau Arona
15.Frank Paul-Nuuausala
16.Mitchell Aubusson
17.Lama Tasi

I have taken into account that Tautau Moga is out for half the season
In my opinion a team that can definitely challenge for the top 8 in 2013

 

[john13]

I have faith in Trent Robinson and I think he can have the same success that Michael McGuire had at South Sydney in 2012 after he returned from coaching in the Super League

 

[Big man]

Seriously, a solid team but I feel Souths round 1 will give Trent a football lesson. I watched Souths second string team against PNG, and the two young Burgess boys took on the PNG pack on their own, and the PNG pack are big tough boppers, I just can't see a disciplined Souths side lose to a team with many new faces. Souths by 14.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Our forward pack holds a tonne of skill, not just size. What's more is the starting forwards are all hard workers ahd not the lazy pricks we've had in the past. My only concern is our halves and hooker.

[rabbitohs95]

From an outsiders perspective; Round 1 team

1. Minichiello
2. Tuivasa-Sheck
3. Jennings
4. Kenny-Dowall
5. Oldfield
6. Maloney
7. Pearce
8. Waerea-Hargreaves
9. Friend
10. Kennedy
11. Williams
12. Guerra
13. Cordner

14. Seluini
15. Aubusson
16. Nu'uausala
17. Tasi

Now that team could be anything, if we do happen to beat you in Round 1 (Which i'm not expecting tbh)
The only difference between squads i could see is that we've kept our spine in tact where the Roosters are still experimenting and still working out new combinations.

FPN to go to Huddersfield.

Really hope he does for your sake, pisses me off how inconsistent he can be...

 

[Cliffhanger]

Who the f**k in our management decided to chase O'Donnell. f**k, we were doing so well with the buying players.

Wouldn't swap O'Donnel for FPN, atleast FPN has potential..

You must love John Sutton then?

 

[Lambretta]

I'd swap herpes for FPN - his potential will never be realised. At least herpes is a gift that goes on giving.

Fair call, maybe he might have something more to prove?

 

[Big man]

If you guys lose Cherrington that will do it for me, you are letting go of young talent in BJ, Mose and Taka and replacing with a mercenary in SBW, a head case in Jennings and a old hack on one leg in LOD, talk about desperation to make the eight lol. Souths by 18.

:lol: jealous

 

[Fingerbang]

Any one reckon Jack Bosden is a chance or close to making the first 17?

 

[Tommy Smith]

I reckon he's a good chance at a bench spot. The team come Rnd 1 will look very close to this:

1. Anthony Minichiello
2. Daniel Tupou/Michael Oldfield
3. Michael Jennings
4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
5. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
6. James Maloney
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Jared Warea-Hargreaves
9. Jake Friend
10. Martin Kennedy
11. Sonny-Bill Williams
12. Aiden Guerra
13. Luke O'Donnell

14. Boyd Cordner
15. Lama Tasi
16. Mitchell Aubusson
17. Bosden/Arona/FPN (of which i'd prefer Bosden. Hopefully FPN f**ks off to England in exchance for LOD and then my off-season of joy will be complete).

Cherro hlas been very unlucky with injuries. BJ had serious off field issues and makes too many dumb mistakes on the field. Taka is a god awful defender. Mose's size seemed to have people believing he was a quality player but He's a nothing. None are significant losses.
