Team vs Manly

[roostermcgregor]

Think Manly have a few forwards out but saying that our blokes lack mongrel the killer instinct JWH had ....I put it on Spencer..he has been ordinary since he great run during SOO last year a\n several games after that.He also needs to put some more size on.

IMO , Spence is the most difficult of our forwards to tackle, and opposition defences hate it when he runs the ball.

He is an impact player - the longer his minutes , the less effective he is.

No other forward comes close - maybe Whyte , who just tends to bend , but not break , the line.

I agree, overall, the Rooster forwards lack mongrel and killer instinct.

Its a bloody hard game to tip the winner.

i'm a spence fan. whyte's been our best prop this year but spence is our most explosive. him and lindsay could be up for big games this week - after a crowded schedule since origin 3 they've had a nine day turnaround

Olakauatu is a huge out for them!

Savala vs DCE adds a little spice to the occasion. Looking forward to the game day thread.

Roosters 12 plus.

The concreter should play and always take the 1st hit up. JWH style and set the tone!

Foketi at Lock.

Collins on the bench.

Watson can cover any injuries to the outside backs

E butcher NSW Cup.

I can’t disagree with any of that. We need some real aggression in the starting line up and the Concretor provides that. As you say, JWH like.

I thought Lindsay had his best game in a RW&B jersey for a very long time last week and brought some aggression into his game. I’d love to see him back that up this week (JWH did it every week of his career).

It’s so frustrating that the Coach keeps leaving Losalu out of the 17,we need his go forward without a doubt..

[Bates]

Yeah Collins was on a mission last round and comfortably our best. I’m not relegating him just feel that the concreter has more to offer in that opening 20 minute period.

I’d also like to see Spence included in our attacking shapes more so around the edges and looking to isolate their smaller defenders.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what he does next year after a full preseason with the top squad. I reckon he’ll go to another level.

I think him and Spencer play similar roles and probably can’t pick the two in the same team, unless necessary.

[kakaruk]

Concretor should be playing someone posted a while ago that he hasn’t missed a tackle that’s amazing if correct Gus and mal are watching with cheque books at the ready if the big fella gets sick of playing Reggie’s I’d reckon a few others would be interested as well

[fletch]

Radley still in the squad after the cutdown to 19.

[caz]

yeah, you'd figure rads is a good chance to play. no reason for him to be in the 19 if he's not fit. if he's fit he'll be in the 17

He's played 5 games and missed 1 tackle - Average Per Game 0.20.

I'm a fan and we definitely need his go forward. No one in this team bends the line like he does!

[Chook2]

Rads will play
hopefully straight swap out with Egan butcher
hopefully robbo keeps steep and Foketi
