2025 preseason Charity Shield - Vs Dragons

[speedster]

I was really looking forward to seeing how the new fitter and trimmed down Latrell went at fullback as he should have been expected to have a higher work rate, compared to previous versions of himself in the past. Now, with another Hammy injury, he is likely to lose a lot of that hard fought conditioning and we will have to hope he manages to stay on track and not blow out again too much - or lose it again by the time he is fit to take the field this year. He still won't be a Tedesco or Edwards style fullback but I maintain he doesn't have to be. There are different styles of player in all positions and that applies to fullbacks too despite the prevalence of the uber fit metre eater types dominating the game at present to great effect.

But Jye Gray now gets the opportunity to make a compelling case to make himself undroppable while Latrell sits out yet more game time.

Much like Humphreys replacing Dodd is a blessing in disguise, having Jye become custodian is going to be a similar blessing in disguise I believe.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

A bit of perspective lads. The Roosters are copping a bit of a battering from the Knights. It's all just trials.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Oh and the Roosters are fielding a pretty strong team.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

We didn't concede 50 but the Roosters very well might.

Good teams know the trials don't matter. Just need to get through without injuries. I don't think Newcastle will be in the top 8 but they look like it here.

Yeah mate, the Knights are looking like world beaters at the moment.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Well Roosters avoided the 50 (only just) Considering the strength of their team with ours they were by far much,much more disappointing.

An unnerving re-building year for your mortal enemy.

They simply aren’t used to it!

They actually do this quite regularly every handful of years but not for a while. They were 2nd last (15th) in 2016 under Robbo, then went Prelim, Premiers, Premiers the next 3 years. Going a bit further back, they got the spoon in 09 before making it all the way to the GF the following year, then went 11th, 13th before Robbo came along and won the comp in his first year in 2013.

They do bomb out every now and then and virtually have a write off year but they also bounce back bigly too almost immediately. They're overdue a bomb out year.

Please.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Yeah, full credit to them. They might bottom out once in a while but it never lasts long. Uncle Nick simply won't tolerate it.

Is there a reason why Latrell has to be the number 1? I've been racking my brain to try and justify it and I think the only reason I can think of is that he's on a massive salary. Jye Gray is clearly the future and he is going to be the player that leads us to a premiership.

So if we move Jye Gray to 1 is there any reason that Latrell can't play 6? He doesn't have a high work rate which you need from a fullback, has excellent ball playing skills and has a massive boot on him.

Moving forward I think Latrells best position is 6 or one of the centre spots.

STID centres..

Maybe their days of asset stripping other clubs is coming to an end and it’s about time Robbo got tested.

My thoughts would be to set another trap house with truffles the poodle waving his tail at their drunken halfback.

I think Robbo is ready for another year of tin foil hat conspiracies. Great comedy when he’s on.

 

[southsydneyrabbitohs]

Agreed TSP..

Credit where it's due. Good to see you're man enough to step up to the plate. More of this SSR please.

Teams other than the roosters are getting ripped off left right and centre, rules, bad decisions and hammered at the judiciary.
Neil Henry had two shots at the gf stolen from him. And the slagging off was justified.

Poor old Robbo loses a game and he explains every referee in the galaxy ( alien or not) is up to something, is out to cruel the roosters and then he resorts to his favourite refrain “ it’s just not good enough”

I think Benny just see the timid kittens in the presser and decides if he wants to go them or not. He doesn’t really care about the press, except when it suits him lol.

I used to like Robbo, but as time goes on I think the party is over and he’s getting a bit boring.

Benji is an interesting case, because he’s got a bit of the village idiot in him. Hes spent the pre season telling us he’s changed. Narcissistic personality in a way.
