Haha ah right I honestly didn’t look at his goal kicking stats, my bad. I thought he was kicking somewhere in the 70s.Maybe a few years ago but he’s turning 32 early next year so would be a very short term option, he can goal kick but only kicks at 62% for the career so not really an improvement on Ponga
Geez it's so depressing that Dom is leaving. He could have had a nice long career here.
And yet Penrith increased their offer for him. For a non first grader. The current premiers. He won’t walk in and replace Gamble. No one believes that. But to say he can’t play FG is unfair given how well he has played at Penrith .he could easily have crumbled under the pressure.Cogger isn't a first grader.
IMO it's Gamble's spot to lose for round 1, with Pryce the contender to take it from him in pre-season.
lol When he signed we were all saying its for the best cause hes going to a system that is proven to improve players and give them successYou know the Roosters are going to ruin him.
Penrith have lost both their back up halves this year and their next best prospect is only 17yo. They want Cogger cause he can do a job for 1 year and then move him on.And yet Penrith increased their offer for him. For a non first grader. The current premiers.

What a difference a couple of wins over the last month makes
How would he crumble at Penrith behind that team. Thats exactly why fringe players go there to learn their trade and up the asking price.And yet Penrith increased their offer for him.

This year maybe but in previous seasons the Roosters have played a lot of their footy through their backs. Manu and Topou being standouts on how they can elevate an outside backs gameI wouldn’t say that comment was just based on the last month. Roosters whole game plan revolves around a power game through the middle. I can’t think of one of their outside backs that are playing to their potential or continuing to improve. There’s also the talk of them playing him at centre.
Regardless of our issues, there’s no denying we’ve given Dom every single chance to succeed. Would be very easy to shine playing on the end of our backline and that’s been all year not just in the last month. He’s never going to see that much ball again next season unless the Roosters completely change up their entire play.

We certainly have given Dom a lot of chances over recent weeks but it hasnt been the case all year and its shortsightedness to think otherwise. We were terrible for large patches of not only this year but 2022 as well
I just thought it funny how quickly opinions change on recent fortunes of a club is all

He's going to be our new 14 isn't he?
I bet there's player options in there somewhere.Crossland will be.
Why 3 years for Cogger though. Unnecessary.
Brailey was co-captain when he left, so I doubt it. I don't think it's crazy though, it's within the realms of possibility if we continue on this tear that we're on.And as crazy as it sounds, I think Crossland starts the year at 9. He is coming along in leaps and bounds and I’m backing him to become a bit more polished over the offseason.
