Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[Johnny Brass]

The plane delay is certainly not ideal but I'm expecting the chooks to get the money tonight. Besides McGuire and Taumalolo they are pretty skinny up front. I've got a big opinion of Drinkwater but we should be too strong for the cowboys. Hopefully no injuries and Hall to break his duck tonight.
Easts to win

That's a big setback but hopefully will still be up to the task

Good opportunity for Lam to show something.

Roosters plane was delayed 2+ hours today so will be arriving late in Townsville, less time to get ready for tonight's game.

Well we’re lucky we are playing a shit team.

No excuses!

Good opportunity for Lam to show something.

Will be interesting to see how much game time he gets. Can’t see him being used at all if the game is tight or unless there is an injury. If we have a decent lead with ten to go he may give Jake a break.

Putting a guy at dummy half who doesn't like to pass the ball would be something interesting to see.

I don't mean to sound paranoid, but pretty obvious money's been exchanged at Air Traffic Control. They'll stop at nothing to derail our season.

However, their corrupt efforts will come to nought. We are the Roosters. We will endure. We will prevail.

They beat us last year at Gosford.

We were supposed to win.

Remember when....2015? or so...we played them in a prelim...no mistake footy was their policy.
We cracked first...we lost the match.
