Round 11: Sydney Roosters Vs Penrith

[Guest]

Well I am not looking forward to this game! The Panthers always give us a very hard match even when we are going very well and they are struggling!

Hate to think what will happen this Saturday night!

Agree SKD is a centre FFS..

Whoever plays centre will only be coughing on Jenning's dust anyway..

SKD does like to come up...hopefully he doesn't miss so much this week, maybe that can shut jennings down a bit

Anasta ---> Fullback
Sa ---> Five eighth
Tansey ---> Hooker
Friend ---> Dropped


Don't see us winning. Why do we disregard Perrett? Perrett should be playing fullback, SKD wing, Tansey center, Jones five eighth or not playing at all. Really don't like our team at the moment, shit forwards, dire backline, with decent halves who can't do anything without the forwards making metres.

Tansey cant tackle at the back I cant see how hed contain a bloke like Jennings. Besides hes always been a 5/8, 1/2, FB or 9 at a pinch. They can all be hidden in defence at times, a centre has to be very good one on one, especially with the footwork some of the better centres have these days.

Jones has defended well but really hasnt shown anything as yet in the centres. Then again he isnt alone, the ball never gets past Bwaiff or Fitzy unfortunatley. Our inside ball crap is the most obvious readable play in the game.

Perrett is safe under the high ball, but Tansey is also. Perrett NEVER gets in and runs of the hips of ballplayers, like Mini did and all good FBs should. Even Tansey does that, shame we dont look to offload ever because hes always sniffing around the middle of the ruck for a hole. The inside ball doesnt count cos its always Mason/Fitzy/FPN taking the ball, they have the mobility and pace of slugs.

Friend has been most disappointing IMO. Last year he had some energy about his play, this season thats non existent.

I cant lay blame on the kid though, or any of them to be honest, theyre mentally shit. Our gameplans are negative and when we make errors we play even more negatively which leads to unforced errors and the discipline goes out the window.

Who knows we may beat Penwiff, drag them down to our level, and outshit them, may be the gameplan this week.

If that teams takes the field tomorrow night there is no reason we can't be competitive.

Aubusson needs to defend against Jennings. He is very solid in defence.

Does anyone know where the Chookpen will be sitting?

[supermario]

carly, the travelling pen will be on the northern hill under the big screen.

Take an umbrella !

Sisa is out, Tuigamala in. Roosters "officials" have denied Anasta's move to 6, Stanley Waqa a definite on the bench.

[Guest]

why is sisa waqa out???

[elo]

Injury, no idea what to though.

[Guest]

oh ok hopefully Tuigamala has a great game..
I heard Mitchell Aubusson is out or Shackleton is out is that true?

[Guest]

why is sisa waqa out???

Because he is a ridiculously bad defender..

Tuigamala may have bad hands,but he knows how to tackle..

I feel a lot happier with this news..

[Guest]

Wish I could go!
I will trust Phantom and TFC to do my cheering for me.

Sadly we have to relegate our cheering also tonight......

As much as I love heading to Penrith, seeing as though its only 10 minutes up the road, I am sick a a dog, and cant justify getting sicker on the hill.....

There will be plenty of loyal chooks in the crowd though....and I am sure they will make us all proud.....

Come on boys......show em what you got....

[Guest]

why is sisa waqa out???

He was at Campbeltown last night for Newtown.....not sure if he played though.....
