Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[Serenader]

Stat Attack

The Panthers are the most penalised team in the competition. They can't afford to continue that trend against a current top-four side.


Lets see if this stat stays true.

Haha you know it won’t!

[player 1]

I hope we win obviously, but I think the bookies have us WAY unders at 1.50.

2 to 1 on shots we are not wit half our side missing and at Penrith Park with Ben Cummins reffing. Expect some very long play the balls when our guys get tackled.

Do we have any players that can fight? Because I don't mind losing the game and having a couple sent off if Cronk gets taken out again.

[milanja]

Sea Eagles are no easy beats.

Penriths attack looks a lot better without Cleary.

Don't be surprised to see Luai and Maloney have big games today. Katoa out of the starting side is a big improvement for them too.

Manly without DCE or TT and panthers just scraped home, but, confidence will be good when you win 2 in a row regardless of who you beat,

hope teddy plays the 80min.

[Andrew Walker]

Out Keary, Mitchell, Crichton, Morris, JWH, Friend

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Can't believe sportsbet have the riff at $2.68

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Quite surprised Halldog not playing...looks fit and ready. And that list may mean him and Cuz sit on their backsides and don't play for Easts or Bears.

I know.

Don't forget they had the coalition at 9.00 on election day, and Trump at 13.00 before the US election!!

If I were a betting man and could stomach tipping against my own club (two massive if's) I'd put a hunge on Pemriff.

This is our weakest lineup of the season with 2nd - 5th string players in the following positions:
- Left centre
- Right wing
- 5/8
- Left front row
- Hooker
- Right edge back row
- Lock
- All 4 bench players

11/17 players are not our first pick for that position. If we win it will be because:
- the riff are absolute shyte;
- our few stars left on the field (mostly playing out of position) turn up with some really classy footy; and
- the 5th string players aren't soooo bad that they make it impossible for us to win.

I know.

Don't forget they had the coalition at 9.00 on election day, and Trump at 13.00 before the US election!!

Yep when betting on elections it's pretty safe to assume the conservatives will win... even if the polls say it's impossible.

Sigh. This has been a long year already without the Roosters getting flogged.

[fletch]

Faamausili is playing for the Bears today.

You will be even more confident when look you at the Panthers team.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Faamausili is playing for the Bears today.

So Halldog or Cuz must be in..

[Johnny73]

I call Hall going to Centre for the Mute and Aubbo to 2nd row.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Faamausili is playing for the Bears today.

I would prefer the Farmer to Collins.

Might given the game a miss then, 80 minutes of the refs blowing the whistle. Its bad enough us getting penalised every 5 minutes, let alone an opposition team as well.

[mattyh]

go easts, not confident, our side dont look great with all the outs we have, but the panthers are not currently world beaters either.
