SQUAD v STORM

[Rooster90]

I've very concerned with the fact that both Pauga & Paulo love rushing in off their wing.

Along with the fact that Momo and Allan aren't noted defenders.....


The one game where Paulo and Allan have played next to each other was the Manly trial and they made Brad Parker look like prime Meninga


But it's the best we can do given the situation, I still wouldn't be surprised to see Wong or Gus start out wide

[Waylander]

About Seve.......I thought so too, but he came back on very late in the game.
He looked gone for all money, but apparently got the kiss of life from the coach.

I don't understand how that wasn't a Cat 1. He was practically unconscious when it first happened.

[Bates]

Our outside backs just need to get their defensive reads right and make the tackle. It's a simple role! Munster and Hughes who aren't in great form will be looking to pull them apart.

Our form is good and confidence is sky high so we should create and ice enough opportunities to win the game.

I'd say really unlikely Momo will start......maybe off the bench, but I d say someone else will start there..

Momo is regarded as a noted defender actually. The only criticism he's copped has been from folks (thanks King) on here.

Staggs bashed him up in one game. He's done it to plenty.

Not sure who is marking who but if Momo is marking up on Olam he will have similar power to combat, but less agility and balance. I think he'll do a decent job.

Grant Anderson and Marion Seve also made him look foolish last year...or are we just best to forget about that one this week

No discounting how tough they will be down there, but I still think we're right in it. Skinny in the outside backs on paper sure, but all those new guys Allan, Paulo and Momo are capable of playing well and getting the job done on the night, without doubt.

[Headless Chook]

Being reported that Jahrome Hughes is extremely doubtful! What a shame if he can't play.....

If I could choose between Hughes or Munster not playing, I'd prefer Hughes out to be honest. I rate him super highly, and always seems to give us massive headaches.

Hope this is true and not just bellyaches mind games

Robbo went through some excellent stuff on the weekly press conference https://www.roosters.com.au/news/202...ter-this-game/

Well worth watching. Great comments re May, went through the whole May story and talked heaps about other players who were on train and trial contracts. and also Corey Allen and Momorowski. And Victor. Great interview. Robbo has this team as ready as they can possibly be. Ignore the nutjob naysayers.

Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson has reduced his squad to 19 players ahead of tomorrow’s Semi Final against the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park.

The team remains as named 1-19 on Tuesday, with Drew Hutchison and Naufahu Whyte listed as the 18th and 19th players, respectively.

The final line-up will be confirmed one hour prior to kick-off tomorrow at 6:50pm.

[zac]

so good chance we're 1-17 and an outside chance that whyte comes into the 17 and wong goes to centre. confirmed that hughes is out for them. we're in this

[Waylander]

Storm have left Hughes out of their 19. Wishart has been named at half.

[King Salvo]

For Melbourne Hughes out and Wishart in at half and Garlick ( Dummy Half ) on the bench.

Could possibly mean if Wishart isn't working out at half, then Grant may switch to half and Garlick comes on as Dummy Half?- Grant would normally be expected to play 80 minutes at dummy half so no need for a second dummy half.
