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

[Les Tricolores]

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.

Tedesco in is a possible negative for you?

Lol

[Les Tricolores]

Hope Robbo goes this way:

1. James Tedesco
2. Daniel Tupou
3. Joseph Suaalii
4. Joey Manu
5. Fetalaiga Pauga
6. Luke Keary
7. Sam Walker
8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
9. Brandon Smith
10. Lindsay Collins
11. Nat Butcher
12. Angus Crichton
13. Victor Radley

14. Connor Watson
15. Naufahu Whyte
16. Siua Wong
17. Terrell May

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

Loaded lineup … non-Rooster leaguies are envious every single year

If he tries to play too expansive too early like he did in the Dogs game then yes it will hurt us.

Simple football wins early round games. We were as direct and as simple as I’ve seen us play in a long time Vs the Knights, make no mistake about it a lot of that had to do with Sam Walker & Tedesco not being there.

As players build match conditioning then games become more expansive and skill becomes a more valuable asset but as I said simply footy wins early round points.

Interesting point of view … but the Australian captain walks into our side every week … we are always going to be better when he does

Does that mean he is going to be flawless every week? Absolutely not … he like anyone will be less than perfect some weekends … but the probability is high with him that will not be the case

Pls keep Suaalii out of the centres.
Bellamy will focus on his deficiencies and inexperience.
Much prefer MJ with Manu until Smith returns.
Suaalii replaces Pauga on the wing, increasing our chances through the air with the two tallest wingers in the NRL.
So simple!

Would be nice to get an update from the club on this.

18th Jnr Pauga

[Renman]

If Sandon is available I would have him straight in at 14. Watson can play middle and offers a bit more than Wong at this time. Bench of May, Whyte, Watson and S.Smith

[Team Evil]

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.

I have to take my smart watch off because it keeps going into alarm warning me I a have abnormal heartbeat

I like it Renman although I'm not sure the Chookpen is ready for two small bodies on the bench. Could be some classic meltdowns after a loss but it's exactly what I would go with once Smith is fit again.

[A Country Member]

I’d like to see a good plan for Naufahu Whyte to have more than 3 runs in his 20 odd minutes. He’s a handful with the ball in hand and his awkward running style could break down opposition defences. Pop an offload?

If we play patient (??!!) and sustained pressure through the middle and wear down the Storms forwards I think this could be a game they make a statement. Not necessarily a big score or margin, just a tough win.

[BTRD]

No tries conceded in the first 5 minutes would be good.

Run straight only and always for f cuks sake.

And don't let their number 7 run thru us untouched from 12 metres out and score.

[OMR]

I’ll be there with extra supply of exforge ( BP tablets) and Cartia ( blood thinners).

[Bigrooster]

While watching last weeks game, my Apple Watch kept alerting me that my heart rate was too high…ffs! What’s this team doing to me!

I have found red wine to be effective watching the chooks but find I have drunk quite a bit when the scores are close or when we smashed Sowfffs
