21 MAN SQUAD (almost) v SOUTHS

[BUDDY]

We are down to 20 players ffs.
7 players with under 20 games experience including our whole bench and a debutant.
Good to see eButch get a starting position.
I am sure the boys will put up a huge effort.

Next man up. GO EASTS.

[ROC181]

Former Bulldog and Raider. Originally a fullback but can play anywhere in the back line. Doesn’t have a massive amount of natural talent but you can’t fault his efforts, he’s tried hard in the games I’ve seen him play.

From the little I've seen of Abbey with Norths, I like it and I'm thinking he will be itching to prove himself...just as long as his eagerness doesn't equate to errors.

[Mickie Lane]

Try not to worry too much Glum.

We have nothing to lose and most will write us off. They risk an embarrassing result close to finals if we beat them with so many out.

Cordner, Friend, Collins, Keary, Jmoz, BMoz, Smith, Suaalii, Radley, Crichton, Ikuvalu, Butcher, Keighran and Copley. That's a full team plus! Are all unavailable.

Thats why Im worried.
Jack we are gonna get whacked.

[Easts75]

Only 11.5 start this could be painful

I think we have to play out of our skin to stay within 24. Just my opinion

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Thats why Im worried.
Jack we are gonna get whacked.

Who do you reckon has most to lose, and will be nervous?

[FlamingRooster]

wouldnt be surprised to see lam drop back to bench, marschke as 18, mgt to wing and abbey to centre

IMO Robbo's the kinda guy who wouldn't include him unless he was ready.

Pretty sure he's played some first grade too? For example when Wighton ran amok and got himself suspended, I think the Faders used him for a while.

Looks a bit like Ikuvalu? Could be handy...

[zac]

not saying we're going to win the comp this year but we laid the foundations for winning the comp in 2002 in the early rounds when we had so many guys out injured. the no names stepped up and led the way. i'm not hoping, i'm expecting these champs to do the same

[Waylander]

At least there is a chance that they will be absolutely complacent.

[Lydon]

Dirty old Bennet has decided to play his full strength side against us, gee I hope we give it a good crack!

[TeddyGoat]

Don't give a fk about the result in this game, a win for me in this game is 1. no injuries 2. no suspensions 3. under a 30 point loss

[Mickie Lane]

Who do you reckon has most to lose, and will be nervous?

Roosters are at $4
Have a lash Jack

[ROC181]

With more North Sydney Bears players than Roosters, are we going to have to change the team name and colours for the rest of the season?

[Davo]

Doesn't Abbey play centre for Norths? He will be centre, Graham-Taufa to wing or a late loan player and Lam back to 14 SURELY!!

[mightyrooster]

If we win it should be the greatest upset in NRL history. If we lose by plenty the usual media suspects will carry on about how it was a very un-roosters like performance and a defining victory by the vermin in the lead up to the finals.
