Rumours and Stuff

Heard a strange thing today that Kaufusi isn’t that happy at the Sharks and misses home.

I can’t believe it would be true. Many down my way in the Shire aren’t usually on the money.

@Mr Angry have you heard anything? Are you the Sharks supporter that posts here sometimes?

He maybe be better than our bench props, but hardly by much. He can't bend the line for sh*t, mind you his defence is fairly solid for a prop. Sure we need good defense, but we also need someone that can keep the momentum going. No point in losing all the advantage the first two have established and then give the opposition a nice old breather. We have lost to many games over the last few years because of this.

We need to break the cycle and keep the foot on their throats. Whoever we bring in needs to be good on both sides of the ball.

He is the sort of prop that you have in a strong lineup and is your 4th or maybe even your fifth best palooka and you bring on for 15-20 mins max and you tell him go hell for leather champ, this is your lot. Then he would be awesome in that role. That's it.

I’d take him back. He’s better than Greig.

Only defensively. But there are two sides to the game and a palooka's main role is to carry like a beast. He carries like a poodle.

Roosters are terrible

Now that Teddy isn't pulling their bacon out of the fire, it is quite evident that they are lacking in quite a few areas. Halves and hooker being the main ones.

 

[TheRam]

Maybe he could re-discover his touch at Parra?

Or South of France.

I'd argue that the Roosters have had the best squad of players in the comp most years for the past decade. I'd even argue they have collectively better players than the Panthers have had for the past 3 seasons.

Don't get carried away fellas, this is the NRL not park footy. Even Bennett couldn't win every year when the Broncos had the Australian and State teams combined.

Winning multiple titles with essentially the same squad takes massive will. The new kids on the blocks will almost always be hungrier then the been there done that lot. It's human nature and at this level you just need to drop a few percentage points in intensity and the newcomers have poked your arse well and good.

Maloney and was Robbos first year didn't say he couldn't coach but he isn't that good.

He isn't Bennett good, but he is good. At the moment the balance of the squad is all out.

I love watching it. It gives me great joy and satisfaction. I had a slight chubby throughout the match. It could have been a ragging mongrel, but they were playing the Panthers who I also can't cop.

But there was a happy ending of sorts.

Love seeing the brave chooks get a flogging but it is a pity it was at the hands of the Panthers.

How do you know Bellamy would have succeeded at any club while Robinson would not? Bellamy had some of the greatest players of all time at his disposal at Melbourne.

Because he created the greatest players of all time.

I put Bellemy above Bennett and I hate the Storm..

f**k, he is good! I wonder if has thought about creating some more greatest ever players.

It looks like he has.

Very good coach? Anyone that has coached 200+ games

Great coach not many of them... Benny Jack Bellamy.

Bennett and Bellamy are the best 2 put them at any club and they succeeded.

Robbo would fail if he went to another NRL club. Just like alot of coaches. Doesn't mean he is a shit coach.

How do you know Bellamy would have succeeded at any club while Robinson would not? Bellamy had some of the greatest players of all time at his disposal at Melbourne.

Probably fair to say that we just can't know. Ricky Stuart is a great example. He made three straight grand finals at a huge club, while winning a spoon at a weak club. At a midrange club like the Raiders he managed one grand final in nine years.

Someone needs to steal Martina’s spunk.

They were all at the Storm when he got there, and he has said that the club already knew they were future Origin players.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It looks like he has.

He didn't create them, Peter O'Sullivan found them, which is why he's on the big bucks.

So many ways I can disprove your last 2 posts but really CBF

On it!

Hard to tell. They are both great coaches and so we would be slitting hairs. I prefer the Bennett style way more though. Cleaner footy and played in the tradition of the game and sport in general. Bellamy to me just seems to be a ruthless pr*ck that doesn't give to much to what he is doing to the game and has a win at all costs attitude and blow the consequences.

Sure he will be successful, but who would you rather turn up to face every morning when you clock on at training a stress head psycho like Bellamy or Bennett who knows the human psyche better then anyone and knows when to have fun or when to clock on for business?

 

[hineyrulz]

On it!

Talk about taking one for the team.

Seeing how Potato Head loves the effort areas this kid (Dudley Dotoi) is just that. He is an Australian school boy and can play. Currently back up at North QLD after a stint at the Tigers. He maybe one of these kids that needs the right mentoring put in and mature a little more, but if you put that extra effort in him he could just be worth it.
