Team List Round 1 vs TigPies

[Bansai Pipeline]

Well that's exciting.

Good feeling about this kid.

[Larry Long Balls]

New Boyd?

The new Ricko! Couldn't believe it when he ended up in the front row.

[Larry Long Balls]

Apparently walker coming on to bench to replace hutcho....... hope it is true

Where are you hearing that? Sadly Hutch doesn't really excite anyone.

Fox sports have been suggesting it could be a late change - nothing more than a rumour as it could remain a possibility until the squad is cut

Cheers NorthChook. I would love to see him come off the bench.

Early Mail: Roosters rookie Sam Walker is in line to make his debut despite being named in the reserves. “Sam Walker is right in the frame to make his NRL debut this weekend,” The Daily Telegraph’s Dave Riccio said on NRL Tonight. “There could be a change to the spine that may see Lachlan Lam move from five-eighth into dummyhalf to give Freddy Lussick a breather, which would then allow Sam Walker to come into the game off the bench.”

One of my clients managers a bunch of players and pretty tight with the chooks.... gives me pretty good info

Yes I’m sure Robbo puts what Rooster number a player is ahead of what’s needed for the team. Cause that will really make a difference.

Discerning someone taking this piss might make a difference

Hutcho has done the job in the past and is a handy benchy..but its a no from me

Totally agree. Depth player only to be used in emergencies but you know he will do his job.

To slow to play in the halves. Could make a handy ball playing lock.... but there are better options available for us.

Would probably be a handing pick up at a lot of other clubs

Handy for us if someone picked him up. Must be one hellava bloke - they seem to love him - but NRL standard he is not - he’s not even NSW cup standard. He was pedestrian last week - created nothing, did nothing, attempted nothing. Would love him to make me look stupid though.

Keary reportedly in doubt with a knee injury.

Late mail: The Roosters have Luke Keary in some doubt after he suffered a knock to his knee which saw him leave the field last week. Rookie young gun Sam Walker is expected to make way on the bench to provide cover for Freddy Lussick. If Keary is out Drew Hutchinson would start in the halves with Walker on the bench but if Keary is fit, Walker could replace Hutchinson on the bench. I also expect to see Egan Butcher come into squad with fellow rookie Fletcher Baker the player to make way, Egan could even start on the left edge with brother Nat Butcher dropping back to bench.

Please tell me Egan is the better brother ??

[bondi paul]

A wet Sunday and likely JWH may be in the run on side rather than being on the bench.

[Tommy Smith]

A Hutchinson/Lam havles combo would be basically conceding defeat. Surely Walker starts over Hutch if Keary is out.

Btw, I feel like we've been unable to go more than 1 or 2 games without multiple injuries for a few years now.

Meanwhile the Storm and Panthers field basically the same side week in, week out. Surprise, surprise that they were the Grand Finalists last year.
