game week first trial againt the Panthers

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I suspect the big guns will all get a run in the Manly trial.

[Mickie Lane]

I know this comes up every year, but it stuns me they charge fans to attend trial games.

Just wrong.

Agreed.
And like stephenj said anyone that is a Roosters member should be invited to watch the game for free.

Jack Hetherington, was he with us for a while?

Yep he was.....

[4 the all in brawl]

why arnt we live streaming the trial lots of roosters fans around the country and the world looking to see thew rwb run out agqain! im going to gosford week after couldnt be bothered driving to penrith in this heat? members should have free passes to trial games anyway, rthey make enough out of us during the season anyway?

A very valid point you have raised....

[Kelby]

Agreed.
And like stephenj said anyone that is a Roosters member should be invited to watch the game for free.

Spot on. Any chook member for 2018, should be allowed in for free. It would be great for the team to have our loyal supporters there.

Fergo needs as much time as possible to get match fitness with his timing not the best at the best of times. Napa the slug also needs more time than most to adjust to playing again in my opinion.

[Vasco]

Forgot we bought Mantellato.

Handy player when fit.

[Moose]

Forgot we bought Mantellato.

Handy player when fit.

Isn't he just signed to wyong?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Isn't he just signed to wyong?

He was going great with Wyong but busted his leg last year...good to see him back.

[2 weeks]

Is Nick O'meley Son of Shrek?

[milanja]

Is Nick O'meley Son of Shrek?

Yep, but a backline player I think.

Hopefully not!

The first match they should all play is against the Tigers in round 1.

Gotta play some first graders.

[bondi.boy]

Yep he was.....

Got half the miracle...no stars to get 'bashed and smashed' by the 'Mountain Men' playing at Penrith Sat.

Now all we need is the second part of the miracle, and Cronk/other stars rested against Manly next week.

Trials mean nothing as far as points/finals footy go...
round 1 does!
