As use all know that the Roosters are claiming to have the fastest backs in the comp. But the point should also be made that these backs can not takckle either.

Well it means that your going to leak quite a few points out wide and a lot of teams will target that aspect of your game.

i'd rather have speed - you can improve tackling technique but you can't develop or coach speed!

so your going to teach Chris Walker to tackle? Lol, good luck.
i agree he's a poor defender - so was nathan blacklock - wouldn't have traded him for any other winger!

Your two wingers tackle for sh!t, Chris Walker and Amos Roberts, Joel Monaghan ain't much better. Cross isn't all that flash either.

Don't you remember the 2003 grandfinal? I thought that we taught use then but you must have not learnt.

Personally I'd put Flannery in the centres.

Mini
Monaghan
Cross
Flannery
Roberts
Firman
Finch

Iosia Soliola could also force his way in next year. I'd leave Walker on the bench.

And in 2004...we schooled you. And in 2002 you almost won the spoon...and in 2001...Oh dear...

1) Melon you didn't school us in 2004, we beat you in round 4 remember?, it was 1 - 1 so it wasn't schooled.

2) I believe currently you have the most lethal Backline in the NRL and while people are saying Roosters will slide without Fittler, it will only take a medicore halfback like Finch to guide those players around the field.

Having spoken to Amos a couple of days ago when I was shopping at Rockdale, he seems quite happy, but misses all his mates, but he said it was weird, the different styles of coaching from Ricky and Langy, both were awsome, in different ways.

He also said, predominately they will play him at Wing, but he will have sort of a roming roll similar to what Chris Walker attempts to do now, except Amos is more elusive.

I think the Roosters are looking good and I for one am not underestimating you.
