By the way I'm not trolling, just telling it like it was at the Roosters, or at least how it was perceived to be by a lot of fans.

If he is seriously happy in the back row and has a dig he might go alright, he did have some very good games there in 2010.

Cue the " Which WAG is hotter " thread :lol:

I'd reckon Bellyache will be the OP, as part of his master plan for LU domination . . .

This is the thing with Braith. He may have been doing the little things but for the huge salary he was supposedly on we would have rather he was doing the big things and winning us some games. In the 7 years he spent at the chooks we made the finals twice, one of those being 2010 when he was shifted out of the halves. So for he other 6 years when he was the the big marquee guy and main playmaker we made the finals once.

Braith seemed to specialise in doing....nothing really. Match stats of like 2 runs for 5 metres and 2 tackles were common. There were also plenty of rumours of tantys and falling out with coaches when they tried to move him out of the halves.

So most likely he'll be a rubbish no 6 for you or a backrower with a bad attitude who wants to be no 6.

Good luck.
LOL! I thought he left Easts?

Braith in the back row is a good signing. I like him at lock where he gives us another ball playing option taking heat of Benji who will be nursing a young half through the season. Anasta isn't signed to be a workhorse in the Hindmarsh or Myles mould. Let's not kid ourselves. You have Robbie Farrah coming off a career best year in my opinion with Marshall and Anasta either side of him to start an attacking raid. I see no problem here.

Unfortunately there are some players, coaches and officials that just don't win with NRL fans. Braith is one of them.
This is his best play by far... http://video.dailytelegraph.com.au/2332063654/SuperCoach-ad-Braiths-Battle

Anasta's work rate is definitely not his strong point as a backrower.

This is what concerns me; our backrow consists of two players notorious for their lackadaisical nature on the field in Blair and anasta and then a worker in a winger's body in Fulton. That said, I'm reasonably confident that potter will be able to rectify the attitude problem with the former.

We have BMM and Thompson who I rate,there are a couple of TC players from last year who could surprise as well
We are going to OK in the backrow department,we won't have Heighno tippy toeing at the line this year,and Ellis didn't play much last year,and is out now for 6 months so we are not missing nothing there as well.
Blair will be a different player this year without Sheens trying to change his game and making him lighter,he will be bigger and better,you can bank on it.

i forgot about bmm, although i did have the thought that he may be used more in the front row this season considering our lack of depth there and the inevitable 8 weeks that we'll lose galloway to injury.
i've been hearing good things about bodene...
