Best possible lineup for 2020?

[Thirteen]

What happened to him last season?

I remember he had that mad game winning run against the (Drizzle?) where he got a line break then the ball went out to Latrell for a quality drop goal. A little while after that he stopped getting selected despite various injuries and suspensions?

Probably cause his defense was not up to standard.

His game in the Bears prelim final loss was amazing. Didn't deserve to be on a losing team. His defence is the area for improvement but a dynamic attacker and fearless.

Our forward depth is good, him and Lindsay would walk into most top 17s.

[Mickie Lane]

Team picks itself really:

Nick Davis
Dugan
JMoz
Xerri
Ado-Carr
Doueihi
Alf Langer
Murray
Fifita
Cheika
Taupau
Stuart Webb
Pangai

To good Zac. Very astute thinking.

I only base Sitili's progress on the recent training photographs on the Roosters website
This I assume is the main squad preparing for the WCC against the rest of the Rooster squad
Sitili is wearing the same jumper as the main squad while Collins and Verrills wear T Shirts with the remainder of the squad

Or it could be seen as WCC and Nines squads

I am insinuating Sitili overtakeing Collins (and even Verrills) for that last spot on the bench

I think we need 2 props on the bench, Liu and Collins are my pick or TKO and Collins with Liu starting. I think Verrills needs to be there somewhere as well, so the other spot has plenty of competition, Aubs, Sitili, Angus, Farmasuili, Butcher, we will probably need to have a rotation policy.

Would be stronger with Izzy Folau in there somewhere.

Not sure Robbo will go that way
Robbo only played two recognised props in the GF JWH and TKO
Tets and Collins didn't get a look in
Butcher came on for Liu at the 28th minute

Hard to say how the bench will be played. injuries and HIAs make it unpredictable


Example: Here is last years Rooster's interchange in the GF

Interchange 1 - Crichton for Aubo injured MCL (13th min)
- TKO for Radley HIA (21st min)
Interchange 2 - Butcher for Liu (28th min)
- Radley HIA Clear - on for JWH (35th min)

Second Half
Interchange 3 - Friend on for Verrills (49th min)
Interchange 4 - Liu for TKO (53rd min)
Interchange 5 JWH for Radley (57th min)
Interchange 6 TKO for Liu (64th min)
Interchange 7 Radley for Butcher (66th min)

[Henry P is a cheat]

8. JWH
10. SST
Bench Props: Collins and Liu. This probably makes sense unless Robbo is going to use Butcher as a bench prop again. Speaking of him, he had a great year last year, here's hoping he has another great one this year.

I think when Butcher comes on, other teams struggle to match our pace and punch around the ruck. Same with Liu or Tets

Butcher & the Inflictor were the best when Cronk was in the sinbin.

That was when I realised we had em. Feel like watching it now

[Mickie Lane]

This years team is so reliant on Tedesco, Keary & JWH. If anything happens to them & it’s season ending Robbo will really have his coaching skills tested.
