Roosters vs Warriors Team News

[fletch]

WARRIORS: Jerome Ropati, Bill Tupou, Ben Henry, Konrad Hurrell, Manu Vatuvei, James Maloney, Shaun Johnson, Russell Packer, Alehana Mara, Ben Matulino, Elijah Taylor, Simon Mannering (C), Feleti Mateo. Interchange: Lewis Brown, Ukuma Ta’ai, Sione Lousi, Jacob Lillyman.


that is one massive Warriors line up, assuming we go with our 4 monsters on the bench policy, this game is going to be brutal.

Massive test for our pack. If given room Johnson will tear most teams apart. Wish we had FPN for this one.

Looking forward to it.

Chook.

I cant f*##*ng wait!!! ... This is going to be beyond epic if we turn up for it.

That's a massive pack but I think their outside backs look very dodgy on paper.

Have to disagree with you fitzy.........

Ok ropati isn't the greatest fullback but

Tupou is as good as Tagive if not better,

Ben Henry is also as good as Leilua and even faster,

Hurrell is a monster who can cause SKids some trouble especially if johnson works his magic,

Vatuvei>>>>> Perrett.

Should be a tight game. Don't be fooled by the last time we played them because they were really off and now we play them at home.

Vatuvei and Hurrell play on the same side ?

If so, sweet dreams SKD and SammyP.

I can't see SKD tackling Hurrell. He will run straight through him.

[novice chook]

Well both SKD and Vatuvei are generally rocks or diamonds. Hopefully on Sat night Vatuvei will be rocks and SKD diamonds.

Both teams have not exactly been consistent this year, so anything is possible from either side.

The only comparable pack to this is probably the Souths pack we played in Round 1. The Souths pack were towelling us up until the last 5 minutes. Our boys will have to put in a huge performance.

I think a lot of our young pack have already learnt a lot this season and are well ahead of where they were in Round 1.

I am expecting JWH to lead from the front.

Ropati is rubbish and not a fullback, we can get mistakes out of him. Henry is a fill in at centre, we really troubled them down his side last time. Yes Hurrell hits the ball up hard and is hard to tackle but he is a centre not a prop, he hasn't showed that much finesse in first grade. Their wingers are hot and cold.

I'm not saying we are going to go over and belt them, it will be a very hard game but their backs aren't very strong and we can exploit them there.

Ropati is woeful

Vatuvei is the most overrated winger in the comp, he's good for 3-4 dropped balls a game and some poor defensive reads

Hurrell has done nothing to date

Henry is strong but is only there to tighten up the defence.

Tupou is a strong ball carrier but that's about it.

I really don't rate their 3/4 line and I think Fitzy is right on with his assessment. Whilst ours isn't a whole lot better the Warriors is just plain shit.

team is up, unchanged from the side that started on Sunday, Bosden is 18th man for the trip to N.Z

I curse the day that smith learnt the CRTL C, and CRTL V command.

Understandable to stay with the same side though. I would have liked to see either taka or Cordner starting ahead of guerra, showed some good signs when they came on last time.

She'll be right.

Apparently Sammy's never let us down.

If every Player in our team has the same heart and determination that sammy has, then we'd be a top 4 side easily.

By every law of this game sammy shouldn't even be playing RL, especially not on the wing.

He has no speed, no footwork, always gets opposing players running on the outside of him and is no good under the high ball. But his constant determination and humility gets him right up there with the certainties to be picked.

As a side we would honestly struggle if he wasn't there. He sets our teams with good work ethic and also is a good role model for the increasing number of polynesions in our team.

Too many times I've seen players added to our roster who have a wealth of talent, but f around and don't give a crap about our colors and pride in our jersey.

Farrk me, the old heart and determination line gets thrown out there....again!

I'd show all the heart and determination in the world, but i'm certainly not going to win us any farrken footy games!

I've said it a thouuusand times, i'd rather a team full of right carrnts with talent than a team full of nice guys with none.

Farrk the nice guy shit. We finally learnt our lesson with nice guy Bwaiffy boy, let's hope they do with the very average Perret aswell.

Humility doesn't win you games, talent and skill does.

Perret has neither.
