5 comp games left Mack.
SKD and frank Paul out for 4 weeks.
Byron FORD. Well that loss speaks for itself. One of our biggest try scorers all season . One of our big guns in attack. Gone for the season. !!! ( Though maybe back for semi's etc. Memories of Tate MOSLEY in yr 2000, and Frank SAMIA ( for EG ) in more recent times there for me come business end ). But.............!?:?
Aubs and Minichello still under injury cload, even when/if they rtn IMO.
Grose ( MMmmm pretty good for us ). But Shack ( 2 games for us and 2 losses ) I dont know yet ? Does he want to play for us ??.
But will take Micky back anyday. Any jets side without him has no hope IMO. And apparently a lack of passion for the jersey.
I think both or at least one of those tackes Shane made was a try saver.I thought he played well both games.Quite a few players have had good games but it dosnt look like we gel together and things dont turn our way.![]()
I am for ever being critisied for my comments, I agree whole heartedly that the team has had a mixture of individuals playing well in a disjointed team due too the releases being granted mid season of key players who filled key positions. I put this down too weak people running the club, people who fail to see the timber through the woods, Luke Gordon left! why? Like Millwood left, not yet been sighted in the Cowboys feeder team in the QLD cup (although I don't blame him for seeking a release to play with an NRL club) Luke Branighan left, for what? JIM BEAM CUP? Jai Ayoub left for JIM BEAM CUP please! thank god we have no more Luke's in the club or we would be extinct
is it any wonder the Roosters players don't play to their full potential when they come back to the Jets?
Luke Millwood has already played for Northern Pride in the QLD Cup.
From what I am told Luke Branigan left because he wasnt getting a run at the Roosters so he went to get more cash at Cabra and Jai Ayoub hadnt gotten a run all year for the Jets, and was told he was unlikely to get a run with Newtown by the coaching staff.
All he wanted to do was play footy.
There is nothing wrong with the Standard of the Jim Beam Cup.
Why do so many people put NSW Cup on a pedastal.
Anyone would think that the 2 comps are light years away from each other.
They are pretty much that same, with NSW Cup being slightly quicker...That is it!
So I take it it is your opinion that "the Rooster's players don't play to their full potential " when they come " back " to the Jets ?
Any chance of eloborating on " your " opinion further.
Well that is what you said, so obviously you must feel this way.
I actually never said that myself. On the contrary I was hoping for the likes of Micky PAEA , and Frank Paul Nuuasala to rtn to our ranks. As I have constantly stated. Are they not still Rooster players ?? ( as you put it ). :lol:
:lol:![]()
In my opinion "NO" I don't think the roosters players play to their full potential when they go back too Newtown, I think that the lack of quality players in the VB cup, the poor facility's on offer and a lack of professionalism is the cause for not only the Roosters players, but all 1st graders that get dropped back to the VB cup team associated with a 1st grade squad for playing below their true potential.
White with three blue stripes on the sleeves. A funny collar.
When I can be bothered, I'll put a photo up.
I would beg to differ that Micky PAEA ( A rooster player ) actually plays under par when in any side, let alone ( players player week in and out ) for the jets . Is he included in your feelings re this. OR is it a secluded few " kinda thing " for you.
Thats a long sentence TCJ, lot's of comma's , admidst a shortage of stoppages. Have you re -read it yourself.?:lol:;-)
But as you say it may be the case with some. Take NUTLEY for instance. Hope it is not with too many though hey ? I dont think it is though, most are happy from what I hear.
Just hope we get some players back from injury soon, thats all. We have 5 games left. I cant remember a season we have beaten Parra/Wenty twice in a season yet since yr 2000, and we still have to play ( level on pts with us Windsor again yet ). Newcastle,cent/coast, and Tig's being our other 3 games , and although we beat each of those sides first game around some were very close games with a side that had other faces in it, at that time. ( Windsor only just beat Tig's last weekend by 4 points ) so Tig's for starters are not to be underestimated.
It's the time of year that the teams that have an NRL chance, and the teams that dont have one, shall effect the apple cart that "was" current form. For better or worse IMO>
So it could be a worry unless our team lifts next week. I 4 one really hope they can, and do.
It's got to the stage where they really " have ' to now. Pressure on , with bad form. Not good ??
Bring out Tommy and Col MURPHY for a pre-match chat with this side.!!!
PS.... Come On BlueBags. !!!
I'll take your word on Millwood (he has not been listed in the big league) and if Branigan ever thought he was a chance at playing 1st grade he needs to sleep with a mirror and wake up to himself, as for Ayoub, with the loss of 2 half's wouldn't it have been half smart too have kept him?
No because there was still Sean Rudder, Ben Green and Rory Kostysen all capable of playing in the halves, and as I said earlier, he was told by the coaching staff that he probably wont get a run all year. So he came to Belrose, and has fit it really well with the boys and has played some solid footy.
Why waste time staying at a club when you cant play footy?
Incidentally, Luke Millwod has been named at Halfback for the Northern Pride this weekend.
2tb go to the jets website and see the report on the last game against auckland and you will see a photo of the white jerseys.![]()
Thanks Enmore. Thats not a bad looking jersey. NRL clubs go overboard with alternative strips, ours is not bad at all. I didn't realise how big Steve Meredith was till I saw that team picture. Glad I don't have to tackle him.
