Liam Roach the new prop?

[Magpies Forever]

Liam Roach has apparently been signed up but nothing on the WT's website. Can he be the front rower we are seeking?

[Marshall_magic]

hope not, he looks ordinary in NYC.

 

[innsaneink]

That'd be right, and make how many....5 or 6, in the top squad with zilch first grade experience?

Why should we be disappointed? We got J-Burger didn't we? They got Pat Richards, but they didn't get the J-Burger. We got the J-Burger. We definitely got the J-Burger. That's J-Burger! Can you repeat that? 'Coz I can't believe my @#$%!&* ears.

 

[richies]

not in 2009 anyhow
he will be in nyc

 

[Marshall_magic]

If Liam Roach doesn't improve to 30 times the level he's at now and plays first grade next year, we'll be in a lot of trouble. He failed to bend the line from what I saw from him for the Dogs this year.

 

[IanG]

Is he a big unit like his old man?

 

[CHRIS SANDOW]

Yeah he's a huge man.

 

[madunit]

no good being big and not knowing how to use, you just end up being like Dean Widders or Owen Craigie

 

[CHRIS SANDOW]

Correct me if I;m wrong but souths made the finals in 07 while the tigers had an early holiday lol.

What has that got to do with Liam Roach being big?

 

[super_coach]

Things are going bad in tiger town when all we have to talk about is blockers son who at present is a bench under's 20 player at very best

 

[aqua_duck]

Liam Roach isn't big for a front rower no, he's tall and rangy, built more like a backrower, from memory he's about 191cm and 102kg, which is pretty small for a front rower in this day and age when most outside backs are over 95kg, compare that to Holo Tonga who was 196cm and 117kg

So we bought another backrower?
