Reverse dominoes.

Had the exact same thought during the game.
Thought of starting a thread about how many of our guys would be first graders at top 8 clubs.
Beat me to it.

Let the fact not be lost about the quality of the opposition tonight.
The dogs are a rabble.
They blew us open in the first half. They should not have scored a point against us.

The very worst teams in the comp are dogs.
Broncs. Tigers. Sea eagles. We sit amongst them. We sit below the cowboys who are not up to this level.

Which guys would get a start at top 8 clubs?
Toby
Talekai
Moylan
SJ
Wade
Wilton
BHU under better coaching
Katoa

Tracey..maybe

No way that many. No way

 

[snout]

No way that many. No way

Who of those wouldnt?

This team is so poorly prepared.

 

[roboshark]

Who of those wouldnt?

Well its just my opinion here but I don't think

Moylan
Katoa
BHU
Teig
Wade...not at present but when on his game yes
Toby..maybe. just
Sifa..yep
SJ..um. maybe

 

[Quicksilver]

How many on the board would get a run at the Roosters?

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Gonna give some credit to Hiroti tonight. Definitely a much improved player, thought he was a bit unlucky to not have 4 tries. Inexperienced showed a bit but his spot is safe for mine.

Wilton will be good enough very soon. 160m and 40 tackles. Shames the usual starters.

Yep its all opinion.
Im basing it on if theyre in a good system with elite coaching.

Look how quickly viktor radley and billy smith came into first grade and found theyre feet.
A professional club.
Surrounded by professional players.
Imagine viktor debuting at our club.
Compare it to nikora. Viktors career would just stagnate.
His skill and ability would get him here but he would go no further...just develop dumb habits and learn that playing hard and losing gets a pat on the back from the coach in the presso..."they played hard but were unlucky tonight. We just have to learn to hold the ball. There will be no changes next week."
And so the rot continues. Nikora is an embarrassment. He is a ferking good player. An international. He is wasting his time playing each week. He makes no impact.
Wilton would be getting rave headlines if he was in the rorters 17. He is netter than Nate whatsisname.

Whereas the presso at the storm...."if they dont want to play the way we say - l will find players who will."
Thats the beginning of the difference. The rest is knowing how to coach. How to het the best out of your players.
As off the nose paul green was at cowboys - when he left they got worse under hannay.

Wade would be dynomite at the roosters. SOO at canberra.
Moylan is one of our better players. SOO star.
He has injury and attitude issues. At melbourne under smith and bellamy he wouldnt be the player he is.

Fitzgibbon cant get here quick enough with his rorters pedigree.
He doesnt nick politis tho.

 

[Quicksilver]

Haha.

Deadset.

 

[Ads]

He really looks the goods.

I’d keep him in the starting team over nikora. Or play Graham 13 when he returns. Very solid and we are yet to see the lines he can run.

Snout, you're taking liberties HAHA

3 you chose are not on the list.

 

[Frenzy.]

He lacks "killer". He's a workhorse style player. He'll do for now but he has loads of development to do and he needs to tuck into those raw steaks and get a bit bloodthirsty.

 

[shaggs]

I’ll have a go.

I’ll list the named 21. Using top 4 as panthers, eels, rabbits and storm. Can any of our guys replace those in that position currently.

1. Kennedy- (edwards, gutho, Mitchell, pap) nope
2. Hiroti- (to’o, Staines, siva, Ferguson, Johnston, gagai, Jennings, fox) nope
3. Dugan- . (Burton, Chriton, opacic, niukore, Campbell, ?souths, smith, olam) definitely opacic, niukore and smith a few years ago.
4. Ramien- Burton, Chriton, opacic, niukore, Campbell, ?souths, smith, olam) definitely opacic, niukore and smith
5. Tracey- (to’o, Staines, siva, Ferguson, Johnston, gagai, Jennings, fox) nope. He isn’t a winger though.
6. Johnston - (luai, brown, walker, Munster) Brown only
7. Chad- (Cleary, Moses, Reynolds, Hughes) nope
8. Woods- FH, leota, paulo, RCG, Burgess, tatola, Bromwich, Welch) I think Burgess and tatola are average but play the style that the rabbits back needs. Nope
9. Brailey - (Kenny, Mahoney, cook, grant) Kenny for sure. Api maybe?
10. BHU - (FH, leota, paulo, RCG, Burgess, tatola, Bromwich, Welch) at his best I’d say leota, Burgess and tatola
11. Wilton - (kikau, capewell, lane, papali, Koloa, sua, Bromwich, kaufusi) he could do the job of any of those guys, except kikau
12. Nikora- (kikau, capewell, lane, papali, Koloa, sua, Bromwich, kaufusi) nope
13. Rudolf- (yeo, brown, Murray, Nelson) maybe brown

Was going to do the rest of the squad but it’s too much. Starting 13 from last night it is

 

[Tiger Shark]

I’d take Johnson over Walker any day of the week. If you’re referring to a returning Johnson who will be out of touch for a bit then sure I’d take Walker.

Walker is a half. That's the only place he played so far

Hutchinson is the Rooster 6 and he's ordinary but solid. Johnson would make that team over him. Maybe not if Keary on board.

Brailey has been close to the worst 9 in the NRL for a month. Has gone backwards. Poor options, shit passes, goes to bed when the going gets rough, in and out of games, gives up a lot of PCMs, doesn't kick enough which he can do. I suspect his stamina is poor - he makes enough tackles but doesn't seem to have the motor to convert D energy to A energy. I'd sell him

 

[shaggs]

I didn’t use the roosters

that’s Cody walker

Apologies then.

He has it. Just hasn’t shown it yet. But his base game is very solid. Lots to work with. Runs a great line which we are yet to see and if he can add that then he’s a starter for me.

 

[Frenzy.]

Not even certain to stay. He might be feenin' for Uncle Bomber.

 

[shaggs]

I like Wilton more than nikora. Nikora physically should be better. More athletic build. Wilton looks like a guy who puts 100% into everything. Like all have said, a bit of merkin in him would be good.
