Roosters v Storm

[Rooster90]

Kind of hoping Foketi swaps with Wong. I love his enthusiasm and I rate him as one of our better forwards this season.
praying for big games from our origin forwards. They definitely didn’t play like originally forwards last week and it’s frustrating watching on.

i find it strange that Wong has excelled playing backrow all year only to now get moved to lock, while Foketi's best games have been at lock

Classic Robbo

we're playing the storm on a 5 day turnaround for them and they're missing some stars. the footy gods have smiled on us.
roosters at $2.42 are good value

Mmm no Munster and paps along with Warrbrick and NAS they have a few key guys missing
our form with these guys has been shit house the last several years

Wong back is a big plus with b smith and rads out! Hopefully Savala may be a late inclusion
would love to see lasalu there over butch considering we only have Whyte as a decent prop atm

could be a close one but we just always come up short against these guys
storm by 6 unfortunately

With those 4 out for the Storm, this is the Roosters best chance in beating them, in a long time.
What’s going on with Warbrick anyway, he’s been concussed the whole season.
We need to contain Coates, Grant’s runs from dummy half, around the ruck, and Jerome Hughes, who always kills us.

Yeah I said that in an earlier post. You probably missed cos of my usual article rambling.

Very strange decision. Wong was caught out defensively when we tried to play him as a middle and he ended up falling out of favour. Has reignited his career playing edge and been one of our best this year yet we swap him back to lock? lol.

And as you said, Foketi has been awesome in the middle… strange call.

I reckon his best game was actually at prop, but I agree he & Wong should be swapping.

Today Robbo said we want to play Roosters footy against the Storm.

Bwaif and the other 3 on NRL 360 were asking what is Roosters footy ??

[B2B]

Just watching Robbo on 360 , and he repeatedly says we need to get back to playing roosters footy . What is that ? I say it is less errors , no dropped or stupid passes and defend well.

He's clear on that.

Wong would be considered a better ball player I guess.

Great to see the roosters named Ethan king at 4 and 18th man tomorrow
very durable
I suppose he has been 18th man all year it’s become a habit

Tom Rodwell has been named 18th man.

Tom Rodwell has been named 18th man.

On the roosters 24hr update it mentioned Ethan king and Taylor lasalu are the remaining reserves

but yes rodwell is actually 18th man not king

Wong is a tackling machine and moved closer to the ruck to tighten things up.

Brailey carved our middles up last round
