'Taking the piss': Journo's massive whack for Fifita's 'highly disrespectful' Roosters snub
David Fifita originally announced his intention to join the Roosters but less than a week later expressed doubts, choosing to remain on the Gold…
The redemption of Todd Carney continued at pace over the weekend with another sublime effort against the Tigers. Every post is a winner, and at the rate we are going, he’ll be offered the keys to the city of Goulburn before the end of next month.
The former Raiders player has stepped back into NRL footy with ease, even more impressive is that his return has been at a new position.
Now, while we have only finished round two, predictions of Grand Finalists and Origin hopefuls have already begun (we never learn, do we?) so is it time to toss Todd Carney’s name in the hat? Surely if Mitchell Pearce is being talked up as a captain, then Carney must also be mentioned.
Of course, there are a few details to iron out.
First, surely Jarryd Hayne has the fullback spot sorted. Then, if Pearce is at halfback, where does that left Carney? Remember that Kimmorley and Barrett were brilliant in the final game last year.
Also, you must remember that NSW need to pick players who play in that position every week. Maybe the man most under pressure from Carney is Kurt Gidley.
That floating role that Gidley plays for the Blues, with the ability to back up at 9,7, 6 and 1, could be perfect for the Rooster.
If anything, it will be fun to watch the debate play out over the coming months.
Finally, surely the biggest winner of the week was spectacle provider OPSM. Their marketing department must have cheered every time the Hasler rant was replayed.
The crunch come this week when we see whether the coverage brings the windfall as league fans line up for eye tests, especially Parramatta fans and punters who’d back the Eels as they had tried the old line “Looked okay to me” when the referee pointed to the spot.
