Back options vs Parra

[Cyril Snodgrass III]

Easts have been decimated by injuries this year....we need a new winger.....Fergo come home!!!!!

Any updates on Smith and Ickers ?

nrl physio says smith suspected lisfranc (like suaalii), iku has syndesmosis but might avoid the knife.

[Mickie Lane]

we need thye win or manly will jump us. also i dont know the stat but we never win the commemorative games. jwh plays 250 this week and Angus would have played more games with us than the vermin. I cant remember when we have won a game when one of our guys celerbrates his 50th, 100th , 150th or 200th games. we always seem to lose. Like fitzys history

You make a good point but Ive got a feeling that if the Chooks bring the same commitment in defence as what they did against the Knights they will get over Parra & JWH will have a win in his 250th.

I think it will be Manu, Morris centre’s with Tupou, abbey on the wings.

[King Salvo]

Very true. It would be a big surprise if Robbo did decide to throw him in the deep end, especially against Parra who are a top 4 side.

Parra play a very structured game and rely a lot on their defence (2nd lowest missed tackles) and set completions(4th highest % and 1st for possession % overall at 51% ) and kick on the last - a lot of their sets are one out runs with not a lot of ball movement so if the Chooks kick, chase and defend well they can pin Parra in their own half and have them kicking on the last from their half.

Depends on grade of Ikuvalu's Syndesmosis - grade 1 - 4 to 6 weeks with no surgery and grade 2 and 3 surgery highly recommended - 6 to 8 weeks

Smith's Lisfranc one - 6 to 12 weeks in a moon boot after surgery - 3 to 6 months recovery time

I find it crazy Ikuvalu only did his Syndesmosis, I thought for sure his leg was clean snapped. Anyone out for 8 weeks isn’t lucky but he’s pretty lucky

[Bahrain Rooster]

It was reported that he was and that apart of Keighran MGT was the only other back in the bubble - can't find the list of players teams took up with them to QLD - Chooks have 23 contracted players plus Abbey and i assume MGT so 5 more - less 2 now with Ikuvalu and Smith injured

Salvo, where was this reported?

Salvo, where was this reported?

Josh Morris' Sydney Roosters demotion is set to last just one week after more injuries left the NRL club's backline stretched to its absolute limit.

Billy Smith and Matt Ikuvalu became the latest players to go down for the Roosters on Friday night, both hurt in the club's 28-8 win over Newcastle.

Ikuvalu suffered a suspected syndesmosis injury that is likely to rule him out until at least the finals, while Smith suffered a foot blow.

It comes after a foot injury ended Joseph Suaalii's season, the now-retired Brett Morris is also missing from the Roosters' backline that started the year.

Utility back Brad Abbey is also unavailable, quarantining on the Gold Coast after having to fly to Queensland late after a COVID-19 case in his Sydney apartment building.

It means Trent Robinson will either have to blood under-19s development player Moala Graham-Taufa as the sole outside back left in his bubble, or play someone out of position in next week's crucial clash with Parramatta.

"We need to jump on that really quickly," Robinson said,

Gus at left centre...tore up the Knights.

(Replace with by a big forward to counter Paulo etc.)

As has been said here earlier, a spot must be found for Keighran.

Shouldn’t be doin that shit in a game

[Mickie Lane]

I still cant believe that after Ikuvalu was injured that he had to walk with assistance all the way around the ground instead of walking across the field.

In attack yes, but whenever a player stepped back on the inside Crichton didn't have the lateral movement to turn in time and was almost a line break every time.

Luckily we had good cover defense, against a decent team this would be exploited.

I suggest you go back and watch the replay of the game.

Waiting for Tuesday's team announcement to see if it holds any clues ay hahaha
