2008 NRL Premiership (2 Viewers)

ghey, errr how much are you betting they all come true? how can you say melb has no fans? they just can't be fked travelling interstate every 2nd week. i'd be also very surprised if anyone gets sacked before the end of the season.

 

[chocolate_lover]

If only Chris Anderson was sacked by Round 5, this season.

Melbourne for grand final again in 2008. With Bellamy as coach, it doesnt matter which player/s the side loses, all that happened last year was built from him. Add into the mix Inglis, Smith, Cronk and Falou...and if ALL of those guys arent injured for lengthy periods at the same time, then I cant see anybody coming close to Melbourne. They have been there for the last 2 years. Will make it a third next season.

Dragons have signed Kurt Reynoldson.

Yeah, which leaves Roosters and Sharkies in the race for Mason.

Hmmm, only time will tell.

Mason in a Sharks jersey though? I just cant picture it hey. Maybe he will be swayed to the Roosters as they already have O'Meley. I guess then the big fella wouldnt be as lonely.

 

[RiCe_GrOwEr]

Is there still talk of Clint Newton going back to the Knights?

 

[watatank]

No. He went to England.

More like the old Dogs pack is there.

Potential Roosters pack, 2008:

10. O'Meley
11. Mason
12. Myles
13. Anasta (yes I know he will play 6, but look at it!)

 

[wuddie]

haha the ex-dogs featuring the roosters.

no, clint newton vowed never to go back to the knights under brian smith. again, another one of smith's victims in his clean-out, and you can hardly blame newton for not going back. he is going to england i think, hull is offering him a very lucrative contract for 2 years.

Haha. What can I say, the red just makes the blue and white even better.

The more Bulldogs pack we have, the stronger we get, and therefore the weaker they get.

 

[chocolate_lover]

We've def. got Mason. Excellent.

Yeah, hopefully Pearce will step up.

I am unsure why people were so keen to buy Mason. Yes, the man is a leader, damaging runner, but, the man can be trouble.

I believe that there are better, hardworking, 'no frills' second rowers out there who would in a game work harder than Willie Mason and would be of more value to the club, he would not bring the high profile and media semantics as Mason can dredge up.

there may be better, hardworking, 'no frills' fowards out there who may do more then willie mason, but how many of them are on the market? an opportunity like this to sign an international foward doesnt happen all to often and i'd say that for all that he does off the field, it is out weighed by what he produces on it. from what he has shown in the past, i dont think the roosters will be heaps worried about mason off field, they now have a foward pack capable of bringing the roosters back to the 8.

 

[wuddie]

now wouldn't it pissed the roosters off if mason injures himself early in the season?

interesting point came up between my mates today, how will o'meley and mason's ex teammates deal with them when the dogs and chooks clash? it'd be very fun to see them throwing hands at each other, everyone will enjoy it tremendously.

ok, the mason saga is over, who should be nsw's SoO coach? i say ricky stuart, he is a champ and should ditch the test rubbish and come back to the most intense match on the planet.

lol. they already appointed bellamy for the job.

 

[wuddie]

ah fk, he better know what he is doing with the team, because he has been working with qld players all along at melb.

Any club would be pissed off if any of their players was injured early in the season.

It's great - it has brought back the Roosters v Bulldogs rivalry, which had died down these past couple of years. I can't wait for the Roosters v Bulldogs match.

Lol.
I rate Bellamy a lot higher than Stuart.

 

[Muz4PM]

In relation to an earlier question, granted there are not that many "hard working no frills second rowers" on the market. Kirk Reynoldson was. However,what is an NRL contract these days? You can basically walk out of one when you please, at least it seems so from the outside.

I rate Bellamy higher that Stuart as well, although I believe both to be outstanding choaches.
