Thought I would start this since the Roosters look good this year and Souths are hopeless 

Rooster centre?

Michael Gordon was bought for this year to play fullback to move Latrell Mitchell to the centres to take pressure off him. Enormous talent 

Maybe he should have contacted Mick Gatto's dispute settlement service rather than sorting it himself

No doubt Mitchell has "enormous talent". Unfortunately he is an extremely lazy player with a tendency to put himself out of position in defence. His game revolves around speed / agility & he has a history of easily putting on weight.....something that I think will impact him . My prediction is that his NRL career will be relatively short ( max age 25 years ) !

gordon was also bought to solve the goal kicking y good player in his own right.

yep, latrell is lazy and needs to learn to stay in the game and position himself better at nrl level. he was lazy in holden cup as well apparently. natural talent.

roosters have talent and points in them all over the park. Game management and closing out a lead might be there problem. class side though, big improvers this year. where is dale copley? If not injured and cant make squad...send him over to saints. good tough kid with skill. needs to protect his melon and stop charging in to tackle with it in the wrong spot. his only vice.

dogs were good. have been beaten by two good sides. theyl get better and a win aint far off. they look a much better team this year despite the 0-2 record.

Interesting thoughts oneonesit, I will watch, had no idea on his quirks, I'm a fringe looker now, haven't stoically followed a team since Souths in the fifties, Churchill, Moir, big Jack,
and my favourite halfback Col Donahue fwiw.

Might get a big " Artie" out of one of them you reckon?

Thanks heavy 10 , bit of brawn there, will watch.

Went Warriors last week and the Roosters last night. 15 of 17 survived last week with 8 of those going Roosters last night. Well tipping doesn't get much worse than this! 2 from 8 in rd 1 and backed it up with 1 from 8 in rd 2! The only way is up! But hey, I'm still in the last man standing part of the comp with 8 others.

Went Storm in the last man standing. Got lucky at the end with that one. Only one in the Comp to take them so hopping for a few upsets later in the round to clean a few of the other 8 out.
