Congrats.

Good end of year news with Nat B and Lindsey Collins getting called up in Mal's Aussie team. Well deserved and if he plays Nat will have represented Aust before NSW.
Hard work does pay off.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Well deserved lads. Hope they get to wear the jersey wuth pride.

The train on squad right ? Not the team.

I just want the Roosters to win the comp in 2024.

I could be in the minority - but this Vegas trip is crap. Fingers crossed for no bloody injuries.

The Vegas trip does us no favours, I haven't seen anything but we MUST have a bye the week after .
If we miss the top 4 by one game after losing to Brisbane in Vegas it will be a major fukkup.

Agree with the Vegas sideshow.

Well done to both. Lucky for Nat some Chookpen members don’t help Mal with Australian selections.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Nau Butcher has performed very well for us this year.
But I doubt he will get on the field for Australia,
if he does it's a huge credit to him.

in other news......

Congrats to JWH for being selected in the NZ squad,
if they make the final those 3 games those will go towards the 4 matches left on his suspension.
And his selection in the Maori all stars team next pre season will make him available for Vegas.

Hutch was a tad unlucky to miss out.

Agree .
Aubs MK2 would have been perfect off the bench.

[mattyh]

does make you laugh though, some on here say Nat is shit ( a minority , and they are shrinking yesr by year )...yet big mal, robbo who both I presume know a bit about footy obviously rate him highly

[mattyh]

I just watched 100 % footy so weidler reckons apparently a decision on gus could be imminent either aus rugby or European club rugby, also were watching keon kalomatangi ???( not sure on spelling ) from souffs ....take em both with a grain of salt but interesting

I read some where originally that we will play our round 1 a week before the rest of the teams.

The other teams will play round 1 the week later and than we all play round 2 together so we will have that 1 week off after the Vegas game.

[Gingernuts]

That is a great idea.
Maybe one less week of trials will save a players acl.
