This thread has backfired a little on BM.

Story of his life really

 

[MacDougall]

I'm not upset at the signing at all. He provides a lot of options and has single handedly towelled us on more than one occasion. He has a cool head and plenty of experience. Would be a fantastic foil for Marshall imo.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

having to move your best player out of position just to accomodate him.

I am never one to defend Sheens, but Benji Marshall has played halfback for the past three years at least. The number on his jersey means absolutely nothing.

 

[Snappy]

Doesn't make sense to me. .

It's called having depth.

Benji gets hurt, they need someone to cover him.

 

[MacDougall]

1. Tedesco
6. Anasta
7. Marshall
9. Farah

Is a quality spine.

 

[Didgi]

BunniesDerp still doesn't realise the numbers actually have to mean something.

 

[Danish]

Anasta has been moved into the back row a million times and it has never worked, always ends up back at 5/8.

Can't see the point in signing a player looking for a retiremnt cheque and then having to move your best player out of position just to accomodate him.

Doesn't make sense to me. Classic Tim Sheens tbh.

2009 - Played 5/8. Wooden spoon.
2010 - Moved to backrow. Grand finalist
2011 - Back to 5/8. Also rans
2012 - Still at 5/8.... not looking good.


The only people who can't see that Anasta's best position now is lock/2nd row is Brain Smith and possibly Braith Anasta.

 

[thommo4pm]

I would think Anasta will be played in the second row or lock.
Can't see Marshall being moved to accomodate Anasta.

 

[Lowdown]

There's a lot worse players than Anasta.

That said - he's got nothing on Gareth Ellis who they will miss like nothing else.

 

[MacDougall]

I can't see room for Moltzen at the Tigers in 2013 now. I'd say he's going to the Waratahs.

Time to celebrate?

1 Tedesco
6 Marshall
7 Miller
9 Farah

13 Anasta

Looks far better for mine.

He works well as a fringe runner and as I said he adds a genuine kicking game which we need

 

[Vic Mackey]

Sheens will play him at prop.

I think the missing piece of that equation is Todd Carney tbh. Carney on fire = 2010. The other years the Roosters were shit and Anasta was not the man to pin it all on. Especially last year. Anasta was probably the Roosters best player last year.

 

[Grapple]

Considering Tigers depth, it's a good thing to have an experienced player who can come in who can play a couple of spots. Not a bad signing at all really. Not sure what Bunniesman is on about, just seems like a bit of an attention whore tbh.

 

[eozsmiles]

In the title you says T1ger5. How exactly is that going to annoy Tigers fans, what relevance does 1 and 5 have?

50UFF$ on the other hand...

Yeah I'm trying to work it out too. The 5 could be a reference to the number of captains the bunnies have but that doesn't make sense as its a tigers thread. The 1 could refer to the number of finals appearances the bunnies have made in the last.....god knows how long it's been. But again it's a tigers thread.

 

[MacDougall]

1 Tedesco
6 Marshall
7 Miller
9 Farah

13 Anasta

How bout

1. Marshall
6. Anasta
7. Miller
9. Farah



No but either way is fine. I rate Miller too. He needs to be given the reigns and time to develop there. Otherwise he is gone this year.

 

[gronkathon]

This doesn't mean I cant call him Bwaiff anymore does it?

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Sheens will play him at prop.

Now that wouldn't surprise me. After all the great man has form, going into a game with Corey Payne and Danny Galea as props where we were not surprisingly beaten to a pulp. He has also used Bronson Harrison and Rocky Trimarchi, amongst others, as battering rams.

In all seriousness, I think Anasta would be best suited to the 13 for us, provided we can get a decent halfback. Not sure Miller is that man, but it is definitely not Moltzen.

 

[Valheru]

This is a perfect fit IMO for both sides. Anasta offers experience, leadership and a little bit of polish that could help a finals team take that extra step.

Having said that I thought the same about Orford to raiders so hopefully it works out better for the tigers.

 

[MacDougall]

Honestly I stopped hating Anasta when he told Archer that he was off his head. Always brings laughs.

I think it was Archer anyway.
