Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[Thirteen]

He was limping a bit during the game against Penrith and he had less minutes than normal. Possibly carrying an injury, or Robbo wants to experiment with Butcher starting since this game doesn’t really matter.

If he was injured I doubt he would be playing seeing second place is wrapped up.

Butcher should have plenty of fire in the belly against the old club. Rads brings energy off the bench. I like this move for tonight’s game. It’s an energetic bench tonight that’s for sure.

[Smee]

Hopefully Robbo will give him the night off.

He has.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

At least Beg Summy won't get a chance to cheap shot our main playmaker prior to the finals.

[Johnny Tobin]

Worried about our attack without Keary. Also think it could cost Latrell top tryscorer. I will be stoked with a close win but won’t be surprised if we lose.

Keary is our only irreplaceable player.

Kinda glad Keary is out, south's would target him...big picture this works out well.

[Johnny Tobin]

Looking at Souffs lineup they are a bit of a joke. Massively overrated.

Only way they do anything in the final series is if they get a 2014 style leg up from the refs.

Wiithout Keary we've probably only got 10-12 points in us, so it's going to have to be a fantastic defensive performance.

[GC6]

The only real worry I have is for latrell. He will miss kearys help to get the highest try scorer. He really needs a try in this game

[PRIDE]

Slow start Roosters. We are looking more energetic.

[elo]

Forwards are a mess, Crichton's defence atrocious to start this match.

[Fairfax]

WTF was that penalty for?

[ROC181]

Just saw Surgess get up slowly after a Jared tackle...he almost stumbled up...
