5 in origin + 2 out injured..us on 4 wins , Sharks full strength and 7 wins...they should lap us...but stranger upsets have happened...here's hoping for another against the odds win.

[Inflictor]

Did anyone pick Foketi in the front row or does the meat tray jackpot to next week?

nat butcher is a timely return. could be positional changes when they run out.
not a bad team considering

[Bates]

Yeah nah. I'm not feeling it this round and at this point in time I'm hating on SOO.
How the fark can this match up be a fair contest. Fark Origin!

PS, I'll get over it, watch and enjoy Origin but there has to be a better way.

[fletch]

Unfortunately thanks to getting the royal pineapple treatment from the NRL schedulers that is a tiny forward pack and there is a real fear the Sharks run right over the top of us right down the middle.

[QWERTY]

Will make for interesting viewing. If we have any chance of winning, discipline is crucial especially with the side we have this round.

[Bates]

Oh and thanks Waylander.

[BTRD]

Nat Butcher should start as a prop to bring some experience to the forwards and team.

I won't be negative - all the best to the 17 that take the field.

Go ROOSTERS.

I'm looking at this game from a different angle to you, this is not a bad side, Always some one to step into a vacancy and grab the opportunity for an upgrade.

Buzz going into bat for the Roosters last night on 360 saying we got dudded by not getting ONE bye during origin.

Fair enough mate

I just don't think the NRL competition should be compromised for a 3 game event especially when so many players aren't eligible for selection.

imo SOO should take a back seat and be played at the end of the season.
