Jarome Hughes likely out for Storm

[Qld Chook]

This is good for us if true but I think it also means Munster & Grant will stand up big time.

This is good for us if true but I think it also means Munster & Grant will stand up big time.

Every single thing that makes it harder for the Storm is a massive plus for us. We will win this.

[JAF]

If we can keep our spine intact, then game on!!

[weplayforprems]

I am normally pretty pessimistic but this is the closest we’ve come to having our Roosters DNA back since 2019.

Bash Munster. Bash their forwards.

We will win this and the fume will be ****ing incredible given we were playing like gibberers till round 20.

[mightyrooster]

Great news if true. He always has a blinder against us.

[DP1990]

Storm/Bellamy playing ducks and drakes !

[Eggspert]

Hmmm Hello.

More pressure on Munster now.

Keep him in check & it's looking good.

[fletch]

Its reportedly a calf injury for Hughes.

[John Corey]

Is he really that good BTW? Thought he was one of our surplus juniors who didn't quite make it.

Crazy to think we're still underdogs with their #1 choice of FB and HB out

He is always good against us.

[Lydon]

I’ve never been a big Hughes fan but like others have said,he always has a big game against us!

For me Harry Grant is there man,if we can nullify his smarts with the ball we have a big chance to win!

Come on Easts!

[fletch]

Hughes now officially out when the Storm reduced their squad to 19.

[nayfo]

Our main 3 out are Manu, Suaalii and BSmith.
Their main 3 out are Hughes, Coates and Paps.

Apart from Munster I don’t really rate their backline.

We still have Teddy, Keary and Walker.

Not to mention our forwards are on fire.

Reckon we will win and make it through to a prelim.

[Qld Chook]

This definitely levels it out a bit more and makes me grow in confidence however I still believe our outs outweigh theirs by a far margin still.

[roosterchook]

We need to play like men possessed. Go Roosters!

[Thirteen]

Good news. Every time he plays against us he plays like he’s Andrew Johns.

Will limit their kicking options too.
