Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Kelby]

With Toops and Rads out, we are in big trouble.

Egan on the bench as well.......................

[Renman]

Angus has been great.

Butcher needs to run 100+ metres. Has he ever?

80 would be fine... smaller legs make it harder

[eddie]

My confidence is shot this year, but ANZAC day is one of the few games I watch live so the stress factor will be through the roof.
St Merge have been playing above themselves but are inconsistant.
We cant ever name a full strength side and our form aint great.

Easts by 20

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

If you can take anything from the ANZAC Day clashes over the past 20+ years its that you can throw form out the window today. Its gonna be a close one.

[Bates]

Lest we forget.



Up The Chooks.

[Chook2]

Massive game going 3 from 8 with broncos and warriors coming up would be bad
radley out is a massive loss he has been our best thus year
again we have multiple players out so potentially another game that looks like players don’t know each other
Keary will be under some pressure
Nat butch needs to have a big one too
robbo is now and far enough you are never guaranteed a job forever you are only as good as your last game and it season

predicting a tight game and probably frustrating back and forward game
with rads, toops, sandon smith, and sitili all in contention next week spots are up for grabs

Lessssssssss gooooooooo choooooooooks

[Qld Chook]

Connor is quite capable of going the 80, it's if he can do the same defensive workload as Rads

Crichton and Butcher need to step up

He will probably have to, and spend some time at 9 during this when the Cheese goes off by the looks of our 4 forward bench.

[Arties Pie]

A positive is with Toops out Sualli is back in the Wing and Wong has made it to the bench.

Expect Brandon Smith to play more lock forward minutes today.

[Teddy]

A positive is with Toops out Sualli is back in the Wing and Wong has made it to the bench.

Yes our defence has been shored up out wide with Jenko coming in, however Victor I believe is now just irreplaceable everything good starts with him attack defence passing game, Conor has been great but can defend in the middle for 80?

Wong will surely spell Brandon, Nat will move to the middle then Conor goes to hooker either way Watson I think will be the key cog in the middle for us, he’s as fit as they come but Radley is on another level.

Go Easts!!

When I was watching the Anzac Day march thru Sydney today (on tv), when one group was going past in my mind I booed.
Why did I boo?
An RSL club band was playing
"When the Saints go marching in"

[ism22]

Expecting a cricket score. we're gonna smash 'em!

[bondi.boy]

Expecting a cricket score. we're gonna smash 'em!

To do that we'll need to play a lot better.
Dragons were unstoppable last round...too big, too strong, too fast.
Hopefully we can counter that.

[Lydon]

Expect Brandon Smith to play more lock forward minutes today.

That makes sense considering Radley and Sandon are out!
