2021 Squad

[milanja]

Had dinner with a friend last night whose best friend is Verrills mum. She said that he apparently signed a new contract a few weeks ago. Let's see!

Hope she meant for the roosters!

Aah yes of course for us!

[Kelby]

I see Drew Hutchinson and Luca Moretti removed from the team website page and Sam Walker included. There are now 25 players there plus Adam Keighran to be added from the Warriors. 4 spots left!

Now Tuipulotu has been released. Depth will have to covered by youngsters from the lower grades now.

[Kelby]

So this is how we stand atm?

That’s 28 , and there’s been talk of reducing squads to 28. Does that mean we’re done for 2021?

[Horry]

There are two Daniel Fifita's Listed. I think NRL.com has stuffed up. One has the last name Fifita and the other on is Suluka -Fifita. I still think Freddy Lussick will turn up on Monday for training. Saw his Instagram posts and his mates mention the Roosters.

Roosters one of 7 clubs chasing young gun Brendan Piakura
Roosters coach Trent Robinson has spoken to Piakura via Zoom call, while Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett recently took time out from his family holiday on the NSW north coast to meet the teenager in-person.
Against the NSW under-18’s last year, Piakura ran for almost 100m in the back row and made 25 tackles in the 34-12 win.
Piakura is also close friends with Maroons under-18’s teammate Sam Walker, who is on a collision course with the NRL at the Sydney Roosters and Bulldogs 2020 clubman of the year and Australian Schoolboys teammate, Jackson Topine.

Major weaknesses

Defence was a huge let down/ Attack wasn’t bad still scored heaps of points, we need change it up evolve Lam will be good here fast feet take the line on whilst Keary sweeps around? I’m hoping we can do a clone of Melbourne’s Jarohme Hughs my word his absolutely lethal now.

Three players coming back from ACL’s two of them are in our best 17.
Lack of a outright sharpshooter I don’t know where our goals come from. SST is a part timer at best. B.Smith can kick but he isn’t even in the 13.
Moz brothers will no doubt miss some games as will Cordner, who will be seeing more game time from our reserves?
Depth in halves big one Keary goes down we’re in all sorts.

The game has changed with the six-again rule and we didn't adapt very well in 2020.
Hard to defend in touch-footy. We need to have more attacking plays, even 1 anything from a scrum, something.

Attack wasn't the issue. We scored more points then any other team so can't see that we need to tweak too much there. I'm confident Robbo and Fitzy will have been working on new systems for our defence as that was obviosuly the issue in the end

If we scored more points then other teams doesn't that mean we win?
Robbo didn't make the adjustments required. Can't defend in touch-footy, forget that theory.

But if you want to tweak a few things!

Tweak JWH giving away dumb penalties.
Tweak Tupou and his dumb passeswhen under pressure.
Tweak Friend kicking the ball.
Tweak giving away six-again late in the tackle count.
Tweak Keary managing the game if that is supposed to be his job.
Tweak all the head knocks we get.
Tweak the coach not losing his shit in the box.

we've 2 premierships in last 3 years, I think robbo may half know what needs tweaking.

[Davo]

Drew Hutchison was removed from the websites team page along with Luca Moretti. Adam Keighran pretty well replaces Drew as our backline utility. Id say Drew comes off that list.

Didn't look like it this year. Maybe Cronk knows.
