No use sugar coating this, I see the Roosters are releasing a few players this year, and maybe a few in the future, I don't see them going at anything other than top talent. They are ruthless & will release any player to get their man, they recruit talent, not rejects from other clubs, we need to be better.Â
Geeze, if there's one player who deserves a contract it's Walker. Feels like our attack comes alive when he's on and our halves get connected to the ball much better. I don't see Hopgood, Guymer or Doorey as good Lock options, and are better suited to the forwards as runners. While Guymer does offer flexibility, he doesn't really break the line much and is easy to get down.
I think Hopgoods the guy at 13 is first year here his ball playing nd off loading was on point.Now that his role has changed he's had to put it ll away.I've kind of always thought Hopgood was the future 13 going foward and that's the guy I'd be putting back there.
The worry is we need those middles to come through and we need to hit on Talataina at 6 so we only have to go to market for outside backs.
The other problem is he is our best defensive forward by a hundred yards (he is the missing ingredient this year to last year with our defensive patterns) so it makes it hard to be a ball playing lock and our best defensive player....btw I agree Lock is his natural position....the other thing to take into account is when switched to the front row last year, he really came good and met that defensive upgrade we re/acquired. Can we find another Hoppy to go with the original?
"The first time in years we aren't playing Melbourne in round 1. It is almost like the NRL know Melbourne vs Parra in round 1 is a miss match and won't deliver a good game for an event like Vegas.If that is the case why has the NRL kept giving Parra…"
"The other problem is he is our best defensive forward by a hundred yards (he is the missing ingredient this year to last year with our defensive patterns) so it makes it hard to be a ball playing lock and our best defensive player....btw I agree…"
"Yes, he is a tryer, but a back up only player....that said he is resolute enough to come back into a team next year after doing all the requirement to improve his power and pace......"

Maybe looking at Connor Watson?
I see him as a bit of a ball hog this year. Not distributing well. Goes hard but I doubt we go after him.Â

We are missing his defence a lot as you have said. Him and Smith together used to clean up a lot of tackles last yearÂ
