Official Team Lists - Roosters v Cowboys

[Waylander]

Looking forward to seeing what Foketi will bring starting at lock. I’ve been really impressed by him so far. I think he will be a real star for us in a couple of years.

Great looking team!

Chooks 22 plus

Cheers Waylander.

He’s a star now that boy - the more freedom he’s given the more we will see what he has to offer. Robbo really simplifies a young kids first 30 or so games - gets the basics into them. Steep also has a lot more to his game than we have seen. Can’t wait till they are given a bit of freedom. Even Toia you can tell has been told to get defence right before worrying about attack. Not saying it’s wrong - just saying these kids have more to their games than we are seeing right now.

You could say that about Wong as well mun. Seems like he has gone back to basics and focused on his defence. Risk is that it gets coached out of his game though. He was an attacking machine in his debut year.

Great looking team. Cows backline leaves a bit to be desired but their forward pack is still very accomplished.
Looking forward to seeing our origin boys back up and the trajectory of the youngsters like Foketi rip in.
Think we’ll win by 14 but I’ll be happy with any win.

Cows got pumped by 54 at home last week letting in 10 tries.

Never like playing a side coming off a thumping, especially a side who's better than that.

Cows are out of form but they also didn’t have their full squad available against the Phins. I think this will be a tough grind similar to last weeks game. As long as we score more points than them I don’t care what the margin is, 2pts is crucial.

I like Foketi starting. He’s earnt it although I’d like to see how he goes on an edge for 80min, perhaps if Angus doesn’t back up.

You are not wrong.

The Cowboys are a quality outfit that have failed to fire consistently this year. Very dangerous game for the Chooks.

[BTRD]

I'm going to this game. Can't wait. Hope for a dry track.

Cowboys are good, but we are better.

Go Chooks.

And like a lot of these crap teams they save their best upset performance of the year for us.
