2018: No More Big Three; meet The Big Four

[Perth Red]

replace Friend with Coops, and Albert was right

Teddy - SOO winner, Aus representative, Brad Fittler Medalist
Keary - Aus representative, Clive Churchill Medalist
Latrell - SOO winner, Aus representative, Will Chambers' fater
Cooper - played grand final with broken scapula and reached "legend status"


not a bad prediction Albert!

Teddy - Poor mans slater
Keary - souths cast off
Latrell - Inglis gonna be
Cooper - Storm made him what he is

poor attempt at trolling there PR. Please up your game

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Probably won’t have any in my SuperCoach side

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

The entrepreneurial genius Nick Politis has announced that in 2019 it will be definitely the Big Five:

James Tedesco
Latrell Mitchell
Joseph Manu
Luke Keary
Cooper Cronk

No love for aubs?

No love for aubs?

Love for Aubs. But he is not in the class of the match winning Big Five.

But he has starch

But he has starch

Plenty of starch in the defence of Latrell Mitchell and Joseph Manu. But those two can also break the line in attack and score brilliant tries. That is what makes them part of the greatest backline in the NRL. You add Daniel Tupou and either Brett Morris or Ryan Hall to the Big Five and you have one of the greatest backlines ever seen at a rugby league club.

I love your line of thinking Albert but imo you have to add the NSW & Australian captain Boyd Cordner; the game's best prop Jared Waerea Hargreaves who is on a longer winning streak than Hulk Hogan in his prime; and the game's best young ball playing forward & defensive weapon Victor the Inflictor Radley.

These guys make up the Amazing Eight.

And perhaps by mid year we'll add Angus Crichton and be talking about the Mighty Fine Nine.

The Roosters have such a great roster that it is hard to put some players on a pedestal above others. But I believe that the Big Five are each match winners, even though they depend upon the sterllng, gritty performances of Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Sio Siua Takeiaho, Jake Friend, and others. On the other hand I can foresee Victor "the Inflictor" Radley climbing up a notch in 2019 and maybe expanding the Big Five into a Sensational Six.

And those six are not just incredible footballers, but also very handsome young men.

So you could call them 'the Scissor Me Six'.

Joseph Manu single handedly won Tommy Makinson, a nsw Cup standard player, the golden boot award as his shit defence allowed him to score 78 tries against an otherwise world championship defeating Kiwi side.

And he could take a joke ON THE CHIN

With his Andrew Johns poster on his wall.

You are clueless. Tommy Makinson will be playing in the NRL within two years.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

No other club has a backline combo as talented as the Roosters' Big Five.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

I wish to inform readers that apart from the Big Five backs, there are the Key Seven forwards:

Jared Warea-Hargreaves
Jake Friend
Sio Siua Takeiaho
Zane Tetevano
Boyd Cordner
Victor Radley
Isaac Liu

These seven are the most fearsome forwards in the NRL. They create the space for the Big 5 to shine.

The Big Five and the Key Seven are the reason why the Roosters will win back to back premierships in 2019.

 

[footy75]

Agreed, injuries permitting the Roosters are going to be very hard to beat in 2019.

Aaron Woods was ahead of his time when he alluded to the Tigers’ big 17 in 2014:

“Everyone talks about the four (Burgess) brothers, but we’ve got 17 here so we didn’t really care about them.”

Unfortunately the big 17 weren’t able to get the job done that year.
