Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[RoosterSon]

Great to see Whyte back has been our best forward this year by a mile. Good to see Steep off the bench and the 2 other middles. If we defend well points will come just gotta be disciplined and hold the ball.

Roosters by 14

We had no go forward with Whyte missing in recent weeks
easily our best forward
he will make a massive difference being back

The first time we have been heavy favourites this year.

It's a different type of pressure, will be interesting to see how the kids handle it.

I appreciated the subtle dig at O'brien. Referencing the Newcastle crowd and fans and how much respect we have for them....

Not being complacent is the key.

Could have been a dig but I know Robbo has praised the Newcastle crowd and town of rugby league previously.

3pm NSW Cup game
Roosters vs Knights

[Mickie Lane]

We need this win big time.
I feel we have a stronger team then Newcastle so its ours to lose.
Naufahu, Victor, Salesi, Teddy, Billy Smith & Toups have to have big games, Sandon & Hugo need to steer the ship well.

Robbo was assistant coach at Newcastle before he followed Brian Smith to us for season 2010 so he's experienced first hand how passionate the Knights fans and how loyal they are to their club and the sport. It showed a lack of class from O'Brien to criticise the fans for booing them after a shocker of a first half.

Apparently Young moved all his stuff up to Newcastle over the recent bye and will be doing his post game recovery with the Knights squad tomorrow.

Going to be major questions asked if he has a stinker today that leads to a Knights win.

I’m hoping for a good win but you never know as the games we’re supposed to win are the ones we always seem to struggle with. I’m not too keen on the idea of Dom playing against the team he’s transferring back to. Anyway, here’s hoping for a great game, a win and excellent completion rates so we don’t have threads inundated with that topic for the next week.

Hahahaha that cannot be true?!. If so, what a bizarre scenario indeed. Needs to be investigated.

[HunchoRooster]

Fletcher Sharpe out. Frizell out. Ponga out. Three of their best players and they suck even with them in the side.

No excuses for anything but a win this evening. Let’s go Easts.
