Team List: Roosters v Tigers - 2 more debuts

[MKCS]

Wasn't expecting Egan or Rodwell, is Tupou not allowed to play yet? I'm optimistic about this game to be honest, backline is still very good, Sandon and Hugo should be able to do a job against a weakened Tigers and our forward pack is pretty decent for Origin period as well.

Our bench is where we lack but ZDC is decent enough and Losalu has been good each time I've seen him. Fingers crossed McCathie and Va'a are up for it.

And on a side note poor souffs descimated by injuries they 'have to rush back brandon smiff'.
not very proffessional if you bring half matured cheese to play. Forever lol@souff5

Dont wanna speak too soon but this has gotta be a gimme game. You'd reckon we can lap them easy but they can be unpredictable and Terrell will have a point to prove. Still think Chooks by 30.

two more debuts for the ROOSTERS. no mention about that on fox or nein. easier to hate than to show Roosters in a positive light.
6 debutants so far (or 7 inc Marky): Hugo Savala. Maybe Marky Mark (1game 2024) Robbie Toia. Benni Leolu. Salesi Foketi. Taylor Lasalu and of course Xavia vaa

so after this week end that will make 8 or 9 if we use our 18th man. about 1/4 of our squad on debut in 2025.

Might be the only game of the year Terrell runs hard and crashes into the defensive line front on…….

[Paddo Colt 61]

Makatoa, Losalu and Va'a are not long minute players so the rest are going to have to step up.

Congrats to the debutants.

Not overly confident.

With Luai present I wouldn't be overly confident either but without him I don't see much of a surprise in store.

Looking forward to a repeat performance from Losalu. Amazing that Anderson spotted him and the Hooker at an open trial in Auckland. Then again, everyone starts off in the park.

Foketi and Egan will be waiting for him. They'll sort him out.

Wow the Tigers look atrocious on paper (moreso than usual) and it really should be an easy win but we cannot be complacent. No Luai, no Bula, no Api are huge outs for them. Really need to build on the last big win and put a score on them. This game and Saints are two must wins to bank points before we enter a tougher period of the season if we want to make finals.

Great to see even more debutants this season. Been really enjoyable on that front and most have stepped up when called up. Will be really keen to see Foketi play 80min on that edge and see what he can do.

we've got a team that should get the job done but it's not a gimme. the effort has consistently been there this season but execution hasn't always been. so long as the boys tackle well and take their chances they'll go okay

Go well Max!

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Go well Max!

How goods that! Just waiting for Wayne to make his debut now..

[Thirteen]

Foketi and Egan will be waiting for him. They'll sort him out.

Egan who?

[Vasco]

I think there's something there with Egan. Just hasn't quite got there yet. Handling is woeful though.

[Bates]

Bondi United A Grade would beat this Tigers team who's foundations are built on sand. I'd be surprised if Marshall doesn't get the flick by seasons end.

Chooks 22 plus.

[Lydon]

Can’t wait to see Max debut this Sunday,hard runner who makes dents in the defence each time he takes it up..

Go hard mate!
