Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sharks

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Let's get out there and notch up our second successive win! We need to bank these sorts of games as much as possible, while we can. Go the mighty Roosters, and let us keep building those important combinations for the future.

Easts by 12.

They pushed the Raiders in RND 2, I'm not so sure. Still think we get the chocolates though.

Not such a big deal. Warriors beat The Raiders and Penrith smashed them.

Hutch to have blinder and get MOTM......and some random Sharks bench player to be awarded the Dally M points

Interested to see how Sam Walker backs up today there are reports around today he needed pain killing injections to play the 2nd half last week so that shoulder is something to keep an eye on.

fingers crossed, go the chooks.

He's been playing with an injured AC joint for close to a month now. Nothing too major.
He was needled before the game

Looking forward to seeing JWH get the better of Woods once again.

[Blue Suede Schubert]

Looking forward to the game. The Sharks won't be a pushover by any means but I still expect a win.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Good luck to the boys tonight.

Used to hate playing the Sharks as they knew how to slow the game down and niggle which inevitably frustrated our game plan. Always troubled us.

The "new" game takes away their tactical advantage. Even though we are understrength should still be able to keep our SCG record intact for the year.

Another chance for Freddy and Hutch in key positions to make hay before we get some artillery back.

A bit nervous about this one. I think we'll win, but can't help but feel it'll be a close one. We still have a lot of quality missing (in particular I think Lindsay Collins would've been very useful in the game today).
Bit tricky to get a read on the Sharks. Won well against the Dragons who have been pretty good, pushed Canberra to the 80th, flogged the Cowboys and were handled by the Eels.

Should be a good game and very excited to see how Walker goes this week. Thought he was super impressive last week. Also expecting a big one from Crichton.
Pretty important game considering we still have a lot of players to come back, and our upcoming handful of games are pretty tough.

Enjoy the game, guys.
Go the Chooks.

As we care about player welfare I think Sitili may sit this one out. We could see Butcher debut.

[The Brain]

My mate had a chat to Wade Graham yesterday the DH told him the game is in the bag the Roosters have got nothing this year ...please give it to the gumpies.

This is a step up on the Warriors game.

Hoping to see more of the same from us but the Sharks pack wont break as easy as the Warriors did so we will have to compete the full 80.

Go the Chooks.

Tbe Eels game they lost was 4 all at half time and the Sharks had no reserves the whole second half - Chooks will need to be on the ball for the whole 80 though and can't take them lightly at all.

can't see why we'd pick him in the 19 if his concussion is still an issue
