Roosters vs. Raiders - Official Match Thread (INCLUDES MATCH PREVIEW!!)

[BUDDY]

Tough game. Plenty of sore and sorry players after that game.
Good first up games by Brunton and JWH. Hopefully Symonds back aginst the Dragons.
I hope you are wrong witty. Carney came back on the bench but he was holding his ribs after the game. It didn't look good.

carney out for a few weeks ive heard, does this mean push mini to fullback, graham to the wing and williamson/linnett up into the centres for next week maybe?

Or 1. Mini 2. Graham 3. SKD 4. Maubs 5. Pez 12. Symonds
Or 1. Mini 2. Graham 3. SKD 4. Symonds 5. Pez 12. Maubs

Myles looks ready to smash someone... I love the agro of Ryles, Myles & JWH...

All 3 must start every week for me, Paea and FPN just lack that mongrel touch to them...JWH and Ryles to start up front plz Brian.

Koups had a very very good first half.
I would think very very hard about putting Mini at fullback. I just don't trust him anymore

[Guest]

Best game ive seen from JPN for a long time. JWH will be good, lifts the others having him there. Brunton did good too, all round much better effort. Hope Carney is not out too long.

What happened to Carney.

[Guest]

whats the go with jwh... broken nose?

[Guest]

Carney looks like he damaged his ribs, maybe bruised, maybe cracked.....
JWH broken nose but came back on in 2nd half, he will be there next week

[Guest]

I thought Pearce was again our best. His long kicking game at times was just fantastic Took two heavy knocks but got straight back up. He is as tough as they come for a 21 year old.

[Guest]

It looks to me like they are competing with each other for the most agro...

i thought ryles played so much better tonight, and was thinking he was maybe trying to lead young jwh throughout the game (came on at the same time, same type of player, biggest guys on the park) i think soon they will be starting in the front row together

[Kingbilly]

I would be surprised if Carney is that bad.
He kicked a goal after he got injured I thought,

[redwhiteandbluester]

Carney also scored a try in the corner after the knock - that's why he was on the wing and at the end of the passing move.

It couldn't have been too bad if he thought he could play on, we sorely need him for spark in attack.

Gotta agree, Pearce or Myles best on ground for me as well.....Nate's workload is seriously sick.
