We'd only need Luke Dorn from that list. I can't believe he went to the Roosters in the first place. Then again the Raiders have PLENTY of handy PL'ers, so I dont think this is a particularly fair question.

In PL we have

Drew
Graham
Kahler
Rothery
Miller and
Carney

at various stages of the season. All future first graders (except Drew).

Dorn, Rose, Byrne, Bishop would probably all get starts in the Raiders top 17 pretty quickly. Dont know much about the rest but the from what I have read Soliola and Kirk would be a good chance too and one or two of the Paea brothers as well.

Same goes for Thurston, Oliver, Maiava, Brideson, Thurling, Feeney and Maitua from the Dogs.

as of now: Maitua is a first grader

as of 2005: Hughes = retired, thurston = first grader, maivia = first grader, feeney = first grader - - soo not many problems there, thank you come again with another dumb question

Braindead argument. Rossy is comparing a Roosters PL squad to everyones PL team which includes players in the club's top 25.

How about you add the Roosters players in the first grade sqaud who are regularly playing PL and then do the comparison.

That was last week's team for the Roosters, Dogs and the most recent Cougars squad I could find.

Although you view it a "braindead argument" it's in fact accurate. That squad is not a stockpiled group of guns but and average reserve grade side. Nothing more, nothing less.

None, Rossy, the dragon's premier league team is beating them, anyway, I'm more happy with:
1. Clint GREENSHIELDS
2. Lee BENNETT
3. David HOWELL
4. Wes NAIQAMA
5. Andrew FREW
6. Daniel HOLDSWORTH
7. Brett FIRMAN
8. Aaron WHEATLEY
9. Wade HUMPHREYS
10. David TANGATA-TOA
11. Henry PERENARA
12. Tony JENSEN
13. Ryan POWELL (c)

15. Willie LEYSHON
16. Stacey KATU
17. Lachlan RUSSELL
18. Corey PAYNE

When the Roosters are plucking your Premier League players (Firman) to play first grade, you've got to be confident :lol:

You also have to take into account there are probably 5 or 6 Roosters flegg players who would walk into most top 25's. The Raiders offered two of them first grade contracts this year and Souths has picked up a couple as well I think.

Apparently, it's a rort according to some on these forums. And they're *all* experts too Hoggy.

Yeah exactly, same old same old.

On that note only Byrne I reckon would get a game with us anyway. :?
