    Are we better off if Simmo retires?

    I think he will retire this year. I think he'd be the first to admit he's prob played one season too many. He will go down as one of the clubs greats, I for one wish he does retire, and doesn't leave us with the impression that he hung on too long (Robbie O')

    Is Kidley right for the captaincy?

    I'm being proactive, I'm suggesting Kidley is not captain material, nothing reactive about it, I see the captaincy as an issue. I would certainly see the current crop taking more notice of a Harragon, or Butterfield than Kurt!

    Is Kidley right for the captaincy?

    Not questioning his commitment at all Karma, but I really don't see him having any influence over the players at all, he leads by example but nobody is following him.

    Is Kidley right for the captaincy?

    I honestly believe both Kidley, and Mullen to a lesser extent are taking the recent performances personally, as if they are to blame (both look like they have the world on their shoulders)

    Is Kidley right for the captaincy?

    Mullen would be a possibilty, not sure if he would be much different to Kids though. Roops suggests House in another thread. Maca is a Cross fan, but he'd actually have to get on the field first. ;-) I came up with Simmo, but in reality I doubt he'll play next year, I think he has gone backwards...

    Is Kidley right for the captaincy?

    Been mentioned in another thread so I've started this for some opinions. I don't believe he is, and I also think it's starting to affect his game recently.

    So what do we do?

    gotta get him on the field first. :roll:

    So what do we do?

    Exactly the point I was trying to make. If they followed his example we'd be world beaters, but that's not what captaincy is about, as you say you need a leader of men, someone everyone wants to win for, Kids isn't that IMO. It's a good idea for a thread perverse, you'll get some discussion...

    So what do we do?

    Probably get shot down in flames for this but I don't think Kidley is the right guy to captain the team. I get the impression that when push comes to shove and things aren't going well nobody takes any notice of him. I think we need an old head as captain, that probably means Simmo or Doogs...

    De Gois Rumour

    2KO said a while ago that Brett Keeble (local league writer for the Newcastle Herald) was on the job finding out if there's anything in it. Keeble did say that Noyce and DeGoise are friends, and the meeting (if it took place) could be quite innocent.

    Dead Cat Bounce?

    You've pretty much put into words what I have been thinking Macca. I think we will be in trouble next season. The danger is that the fringe guys we have here now will revert to thier old form when Smith departs. Kidley is going to have the world on his shoulders IMO, he is really the only...

    De Gois Rumour

    I also thought he would have another year left on his contract, unless he has a get out clause.

    De Gois Rumour

    When they reported it I thought the same thing, I would imagin he'd be with the team somewhere as it was 6 hours before kick off.

    De Gois Rumour

    Not sure if this is allowed to be posted but anyway here goes. Newcastle Radio station 2KO (102.9) is reporting a rumour this morning that the Roosters CEO was seen at De Gois's house on Saturday before the game at 1.00pm they were later joined by Brian Smith!! The station are trying to find out...

    REP MATCH - AUSTRALIA vs REST OF THE WORLD (2009)

    Wow!! Just read through the pieces in this game, the standard is through the roof, very high quality game produced by some very talented people.

    Your team v roosters

    There's a delayed echo in this forum

    Your team v roosters

    I'd promised myself I wouldn't get involved in any more of Karmas Dureau bashing threads, but really he's lost the plot in this thread. LOL at Karma blaming Dureau for George Roses Try!! Plenty of blokes bigger than Dureau have suffered that fate this year. As for him being a dud in the game and...

    Brian Smith -> Roosters?

    Why does every thread on here turn into a Karma v everyone else discussion????

    Brian Smith -> Roosters?

    Not surprised at Smiths departure. Piece in todays Herald says the Knights gave him a three week window to explore other options. Obviously he's done that. That indicates to me that the club has a back up plan for his departure, however I doubt they thought it would be announced now. Smith has...
