I think Watson will play this game as we don't need the added foward power on the bench. That Tigers pack is junk.

Nothing worse than a loss heading into a bye so I expect the boys to be focused and fully aware of the importance of this game.

I predict the left edge to have a field day.

Roosters 38 Tigers 10

NRL Head Coach Trent Robinson has been forced to make some changes to his 19-man squad ahead of kick off against the Wests Tigers on Sunday afternoon at Campbelltown Stadium.

After not being able to get through his side's final training session due to a groin strain, Daniel Tupou will not line-up on the wing this weekend.

In his place, Mitchell Aubusson will shuffle into the centres, with Latrell Mitchell coming onto the wing and Aidan Guerra from the bench to the starting line-up

Zane Tetevano, Chris Smith and Kane Evans will look to look to lock up the final spot on the bench ahead of kick off..

A must must win tomorrow as it's becoming a real log jam behind the Storm and you cannot afford to drop such games as this either- With 2 byes still to come it will put the Chookies basically on 24 points - either 28 min or 30 points will be the cut off(for and against may play a role too) - 10 second round games include Sharks and Storm twice /Manly /Cows- Souths without 5 players - Knights/Tigers/Titans as well - I suspect Robbo may rest players after S002 too with the game against the Storm in Adelaide 3 days after that game. At least it's not against the Cows in Darwin I suppose

[theGman]

Chooks by plenty............on the back of Jason Taylor's match tactics against his former establishment.

[Johnny Tobin]

That is one club we have the wood(s) on. Can't see a loss here.

Kane Evans I suspect will be in the 17

As long as they have their heads on and don't think turning up will get them the 2 points. Tigers season on the line basically so need to respect them and play accordingly is what Robbo should be drumming into them- Cannot believe Penrith scoring 2 converted tries in the last 2 minutes to beat the Raiders 24-20 - Sticky would surely be going off in the sheds after that game

Welcome back King. How was school camp?

[Tommy Smith]

Is Tedesco still not coming, Salvo?

[King Salvo]

Welcome back King. How was school camp?

Hello- No School Camp till September as too cold the Teachers say- I think too cold for them as they are getting rather old :-) - Went on a 2 week Scout Camp recently though during School Hols - Obtained the Water Safety/Water Activities /Construction /Camp Craft and Environment badges - just need to obtain the Emergencies/Air Activities and Citizenship badges to obtain the Adventurer badge- I am leader of my Patrol too - The Kingfishers

Agreed, and TBH we really NEED to win by 20+ to get our PD back in shape. We're capable of it, it's all a matter of whether we turn up wanting to smash them.

Sorry Tigpies... I sympathise with your lack of recent fortune but we need the points.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

If we have a bunny it's the tigers.

With halves like lolohea and littlejohn we really need to make the most of today. Need the rain to stay away. Shame Toups is out.

JT Will have a bit for the tipsheet for us to exploit no doubt.

He would have a tip sheet but the best tip in the sheet was to run at the revolving door that is now Parra's problem.

[Kelby]

I hope Teddy pulls a hammy during warm up.
But only misses today, we need him for SOO2.

[ROC181]

We may have the aron wood on them, but lets not tempt fate. I hope that Trent has given them the mission to do it for JT. Mitchell will have to be up to speed with Nofoaluma.
