Welcome aboard.

Glad to see the Panthers get up in Townsville. I've gone off the Cowboys of late. Don't have Fox so was just listening to the end of it. How was Thurston's game?

Only saw the second half, he is still their only point of attack, made some good options and made some poor options. Don't think it was close to his worst game of the year.

 

[Simon]

Hi guys I'm new here I support the Sydney Roosters.

Sorry to hear that mate.

Oh Welcome.

Hi guys I'm new here I support the Sydney Roosters.

Good man. You'll fit right in.

According to Fox Sports, the James McManus try wasn't a try (forward pass), so Warriors deserved the win.

No way did the Warriors deserve that, got ref calls like they were going out of fashon, two of the Warriors tries came from bad decisions (I would call them shocking but have calmed down a little), both INTs were from player that were off-side (from what I could tell).

Just checked the overnight scores.

Damn Cowboys!

Johnson
Crocker
Myles

Smith
Price

- Kafusi
- Hennant
- Thaiday

If the mighty Roosters beat the Tigers by 8 points or more they will move to the top of the table where they belong!

Kafusi... *shudders* we'vre surely got better players than Kafusi.

 

[Craig]

Who else would you pick? Mr Over-rated Player of the Year, Carl Webb?

 

[James90]

Kafusi... *shudders* we'vre surely got better players than Kafusi.

Yeah. Even Kaufusi is better.

 

[NUFAN]

Nah no way.

I would easily pick Webb over Kaufusi.

Kaufusi offers nothing at all.

Regarding who else to pick:

perhaps Ben Ross..

 

[James90]

Lillyman has a good record in the maroon jersey.

 

[Mister Wright]

Tate can't pass the ball, so it would be useless playing him anywhere other then on the wing.

So true about Tate.

 

[Mister Wright]

Luke O'Donnell just got set off for an "intentional" elbow to Luke Lewis. Big call for a ref in his first game. Think he got it wrong, sure it was raised but it wasnt a send off offence.

When the touchie said it was intentional he really didn't have much choice.

 

[Mister Wright]

Lillyman has a good record in the maroon jersey.

Doesn't do anything. Would prefer Webb on the bench, but as long as Lillyman isn't there it's all good. Like the team posted above.

 

[Simon]

When the touchie said it was intentional he really didn't have much choice.

Still got it wrong, say what you like about any player, find it hard to believe any NRL player (except for maybe Paul Gallen) would intentionally do something like that.

 

[Simon]

So true about Tate.

Tate has always played his best football at centre, I think with his defence we will have a better balance.

Still doesn't mean he can pass the ball. Will be gun, basically puts Faloau or Inglis out of the game without us even trying.
