Starting side this week.... tough choices to be made!!

[Darkone]

I’m not sure about that. We rarely do high scores. Like last Friday, I think we’ll score about 2 tries and then we’ll hand the ball to them and ask them to see if they can get through just so we can go through our defence drills. I hope I’m wrong and we can score 70+! Shame I can’t go to the ground. First time in years I won’t be there.

why miss out when you can have your pop up at the game.....for charity

[Darkone]

The headaches are pleasant.

like too much ice cream

Well isn't it just for the Home games? Besides I wouldn't want to show my face cause I have a fatwa imposed on me!

[ROC181]

Yes me too - will be the first Qld Roosters game I've missed for years.

Wynnum Here!

[roosterproud]

we need forwards v the drongos, or as the commentators will call them "the baby drongos". kill the bitches i reckon and show them that when they face us again they will be shit scared of us. .

i would drop Sam for this one as Victor can fill in if Jakey gets injured. Sio, Jwh, Butcher, Collins, Liu then Cord and Angus.

I expect SST to play but I dont know whos place he will take from the 4 named on the bench. If I had to put my house on who will miss out I would think it would be Tupouniua. I reckon Maubs is being rested for this next game rather than not being good enough to make the side. I still think Maubs is considered a top 17 player. .

[NorthChook]

SST to replace sitili - good line up

[Rooster1908]

I know Sam won't miss out but like the idea of 4 forward on the bench , especially mobile ones , fast and great defence

Think you are right Mick.

And Maubs will be back in next week for sure

[stringaz]

I want to see tauks play, but I reckon we can beat them without him.

Good chance with their ommissions.

Let the big fella rest up the hammy another week and he can smash through the next 20 games.

[Roosterfarian]

Thought Collins was absolutely awesome , best game he has played in my opinion and think he is probably the future of our pack

He doesn’t have the motor mun.

He does have a few good carries in him but very little else.

You've gotta stop hanging out with Cheech and Chong

Think Robbo would disagree with you , as do I
