If you could add any five players to your squad, what would your 17 look like?

The fact that Soward has shown very little in his first-grade career to date means nothing apparently.

Complimenting Thurston's game? All Soward can do is kick and pass. He is a shocking defender, and he never takes the ball to the line. His running game is non-existent. Nice work.

I figured that if he was going for youth and complimenting styles he would've picked the likes of Sutton, Marshall or Matt Head. Heck even Tim Smith is better than Soward. Who would pick Soward over those guys?

You seemed to have missed the point of the topic.

I wasn't the best 5 players not playing for you team, it wasn't which 5 of the best players would you like in your team, it was which 5 players, not the best ect. People like players for what ever reason they want, they don't have to want the best 5 they don't have. f**k Knights fans are pathetic the second people leave out "you know who" in damn near any topic.

If Johns was a few years younger, he'd be there instead of Marshall with Thurston shifting to five-eighth.

:lol: ill miss the hysteria and laughter his posts create... someone called it earlier, its deadset the cheif harrigan posting on LU, i think ill refer to JM as Cheif from now on :lol:

I call it how I see it you fool, and I'm not afraid to bag a Knights player when warranted.

This coming from the guy who praises the ground Shifcofske, Graham, Miller and Carney walk on.

"Raiders to win the premiership in 2006"...shows your biased and deluded nature completely.

Oh and before you start calling me "Chief"...you should probably learn how to spell it :lol:

Johns will play around 20 matches this year? That's wishful thinking, he has already missed 2, with the possibility of missing this week.

Defined irony: Johns Magic calling anyone else a fool, trying to correct a spelling mistake whilst in the same post committing the sin himself
S-C-H-I-F-C-O-F-S-K-E, you dunce!
i mean we can stand around here and harp on innocent typos and spelling mistakes, as im sure you'd love to do, anything to take some more heat off yourself or your knights, but id prefer to argue the point, sadly you lack the capacity to debate with any vigour, at least RnBK puts up a fight, your flat out pathetic!
As i recall Chief, the only fool to claim "Raiders to win the premiership in 2006" in the past 2 months has been you earlier this thread.

Selective memory there, try and think to back to the week before Round 1, where you and the rest of your bunch of jokers were crowing about the Raiders being the darkhorse to win this season.

Sorry if I can't spell some obscure European last name. How about learning to spell a common english word. Especially if you intend to use it as an insult. Pity you had to get it off someone else, but I guess that's due to your complete lack of wit and originality.

You'd prefer to debate the topic? Everytime I own you you retaliate with a "yeah well I heard you like some clubs on oxford st you skirt". Hypocrite.

Back to K-Mart with you buddy.

Yea was just going position by position so I just straight swapped Bowen in there...in hindsight Thaiday would go to the wing, and Quinn would drop out.

I wouldn't pick a dominating player along side Johns but rather a devastating runner of the ball like Lyon outside him. That side would destroy most.

That team would be hard to beat. Apparently the Roosters Accountant puts this team just under the salary cap.

mate if you think knights fans are pathetic thats fine, no one really cares about what you think anyway. However I never once mentioned Johns, all I said was that Soward was a PL halfback/5/8th who couldn't tackle to save his life, and questioned whether people actually have seen him play before.

If you're judging all of us on JM's comments in this thread than why don't we all judge broncos fans on slava's rhetoric

Most teams named would flog that team.
