Official match day thread: Roosters versus Sharks

[Lockie]

I haven’t been to a game yet this year , but I thought I’d head out to this one . Love watching the lower grades $50 bucks for general admission is making it hard for an old fella on the pension . Is this what it costs for the Sydney games .

Interested to hear how DLS and big Lafi go from anyone who has BarTV access or will be at the game - weighing in over 250kg between them

We have not looked likely on a few occasions so far this season and came up trumps, so hoping we can do it again. So far this season our debutants have been composed and energetic so hopefully, the Sharkies come in a little complacent and we get em. Looking forward to this. Roosters by 10!

[BraveTheWorld]

Yeah I expect the Sharks might be a little flat after a hard one last week. Will have to chance our arm a bit today and try to get them on enthusiasm and energy.

Is the NSw Cup game on TV or streamed free?

[Vasco]

Big ask for this young team.

Marky N needs to defend well otherwise he'll leak a lot of points.

This situation where players are missing due to state of origin is a joke.

Go Easts.

We just lost Flegg 28-18.

Beautiful evening here. Surface looks good and not a cloud in sight.

Their second halves are not good - led 12- 6 at half time and then 18-6 early second half - conceded 22 points after that.

Learning from first grade.

Roosters have led in 8 of 10 matches at the 60th minute mark this season but given up leads in 4 of those games (Warriors, Titans, Souths and Bulldogs) in the final quarter.

Nicho will be putting Marky under pressure with the big drop punts. Will be interesting to see how Hugo handles Hynes who plays all over pitch.

[Vasco]

The Sharks are down Rudolph, Wilton, Hazelton & Stonestreet so they have a few out also.
They have a full strength spine so if they cant get the job done thats a big worry for them.
I cant see us winning but then again I didnt think the Dolphins or Parra would win in this round either.
Good luck Chooks.

They're not state of origin calibre players like the ones we are missing.

[bondi.boy]

Carnival atmosphere at the ground, rap music being played, loudly.

mrs bb " Rodwell is not very big, Hugo makes him look like a 'school boy'".

Don't know where Rodwell fits into the "big is best ifya wanna win" idea.

Tiny team Jersey Flegg was run over by the " too big, too strong, too fast" Sharks.

The concretor won’t take a backward step he’s a tough guy

Yes had a bad night vs Dogs in catching those kicks - The old you drop one you drop plenty as the ball seems to find you after the first ball dropped ball from a kick.

Lots of players moving up a grade to fill the void
