FFS you don't have to be any scoop to name that team, even if he gets 1 or2 wrong, he'll just say they changed it after he published!!

[Guest]

Agree with Big Arty. That team is very strong though. Grant and Woods are very unlucky to miss out given current/past form but considering Gallen, Tamou and Merrin pick themselves, between Fifita, Grant and Woods its really an each way bet

[Guest]

Spot on Roz, personally I would love Grant to be in the 17, really loved how he went last year & he's starting to show some form with the Riff, IMO he would lift enormously for SOO, I heard him on radio today & he has some serious hate for the Maroon ones!

Trust Rothfield to take credit for someone else's work.

Wow i think having ferguson on the wing maybe a liability anyway lets hope for the best

Fafita off the bench gets me excited

Maloney running game plus goal kicking basically paved the way for his selection

That being said not confirmed but looks good

[Guest]

Ferguson deserves his chance after some shockers from Uate last year. Letting that ball bounce *sigh*

Such a tough decision to leave Grant and Woods out. Both massive workhorses... but you can't complain with that side! Roosters halves once again!

[Guest]

Rothfields team is spot on,i had the same side in the "Marty Kennedy"thread a few days ago..Maybe he has the same source...

Gidley is cancer, should have played Gal at lock and went with two starting props and two in the bench

[Guest]

I don't see Woods as an origin player personally. He doesn't look like he has any mongrel in him. That's just my opinion though. I have said it before Tim Grant should be there. You come out in your origin debut and sit Pedro on his ass and play well you deserve another crack at it.

Would have had him in for gidley and probably starting aswell

gidley has to be the most overated player in the game. i watched him play titans at skilled when he butchered a try by putting a grubber kick in when the had a overlap with unmarked winger. hes got the vision of ray charles

Unless you posted that wrong, Daley has put the Golden Child in at 5/8th.

If this is true, I will have to rethink my ideas on his brain capacity.

Maloney on The Game Plan Thursday night pretty much gave it up, he was talking about his plans for the Blues side and was struggling to contain his smile, he had already been told.

[Guest]

Why do they persist with Gidley?

Not only is he crap but you don't need him on the bench. Get another forward on there and I think the team is fair enough.

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

Well done, James and Mitchell ... continuing a long tradition of Roosters' players in the halves for NSW -- Hastings, Finch, Wing, Anasta, Fittler, and now Maloney and Pearce.
