Don't worry mate...you guys will be heaps better for what's happenning to you this year....I mean, and I'm no expert on The Roosters...but look at this squad, and the team I'd have !!!
01. Anthony Minichello
02. Amos Roberts
03. Iosia Soliola
04. Joel Monaghan
05. Sam Perrett
06. Jamie Soward
07. Michael Monaghan
08. Danny Nutley
09. Craig Wing
10. Anthony Tupou
11. Craig Fitzgibbon
12. Chris Flannery
13. Braith Anasta
14.
15. David Shillington
16. Nigel Plum
17. Setaimata Sa
Now here's where it gets interesting...and I know this may put off a few...I'd maybe release someone like Ashley Harrison (who will be out for a month or so, then have to get back into it slowly) who would be on a darn lot of cah, and try and purchase a high profile player who want's to play in the 1/2's...You need a big name 5/8 or 1/2 back.
Maybe Michael Monaghan? I'd hate to lose him as a Hooker, but he could slot nicely in.
Manly could take Harrison off your hands (maybe a direct trade), so your team would be as above.
What do you guys think?
