What are we going to see...........

[Ray Stehr]

on thursday? The smooth roosters with hardly any errors, good discipline and will to win or the 1st half bulldogs game Roosters????? The burning question. Anyone with high blood pressure shouldn't watch Easts games live as it could cause stroke or cardiac arrest, this warning should appear before every Roosters game. Watch at your peril.

[Spirit of 66]

I'm just happy that there's a good Roosters team that is playing. This time last year it was just the shit version playing.

I'll be there with my blood pressure pills.

[Juggler]

Surely we can’t be as bad as the Dogs first half.

[Vasco]

If there is any resemblance of the performance against the Bulldogs then there will be serious questions asked.

[roosterproud]

the speed of the game the driz plays is way faster than our. if we can control their play the ball speed without being penalized we are in with a fair dinkum shot. They will slow us down and inevitably never get pinned.
we are a better team on paper than them but sure enough ol belly ache will conger up his master plan to exploit our weakness

[roosterproud]

48 games played. us 19 them 29. they have won 8 out of the last 10 games.
interesting fact over the past 10 games v them we have only played at home4 times and never beaten them at our home ground. Its hard to find where we played while our stadium was being upgraded.

[Inflictor]

Hopefully the boys took some notes from Pride Of Jenni on Saturday and start and finish off the same way.

[Rooster_6]

I think a lot falls on Tedesco to keep our attack straight, especially in yardage.

Him coming back in an providing us with more options on the edges should be a good thing but it could also be a negative.

If you watch the Dogs game back before he got knocked out it was some of his stupid plays that caused turnovers in areas of the field that were less than ideal.

I wait for the reply these days Ray bloody hell you’re not wrong about the blood pressure heart attack style.

[mightyrooster]

You’re not wrong on the stress caused to those of us on BP meds Ray. Sometimes I don’t know why I continue to watch this game when it can be a serious risk to my health.

1. James Tedesco
2. Daniel Tupou
3. Joseph Suaalii

With big performances from our big, hard-running forwards, we can win the middle.

Scores v Melbourne at home (named as the home team anyway). Doesn't make for happy reading.

2017 Rnd 16. 25-24 WIN (Adelaide)
2018 Rnd 16. 8-9 LOSS (Adelaide)

Hughes, Munster and Paps targeting our centres who both have NFI in defense has me very very worried

All except maybe swap Su and pauga
we have seen how bad Su is at centre and how much better he is as a winger so keep him there
also need his height to counter v Coates
also if sandon smith is back I can see them playing smith and Watson off the bench and not brining in another edge back rower
