Hutch back? I only posted yesterday that he’s on the way out. Oh dear. What’s the story with Turpin? Also with 8 games a round and being out of the 8 for most of the year why do we get Klown, the so-called top referee so often!

Makes you wonder, doesn't it. I mean, Penrith v Storm on Friday night is kind of a big game right? But they get Adam Gee.

ROOSTERS SQUAD v MANLY

Round 23 - Thursday 3rd August
7:50pm Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney

Another Thursday night game .... I despise them.

So, it's now or never. No more second chances. We MUST win at least 4 of our last 5, if not all 5 to still have a chance. We only played Manly a month ago, and went down in a close one at Brooky (18-16). Let's hope the SCG can be a happier hunting ground for us.

Egan failed his HIA last week and is therefore unavailable under the mandatory stand-down protocol. Wong takes his place on the edge with the Handbrake coming onto the bench in place of Turpin. WHY ROBBO, WHY ?? To quote another poster: FFS!!
The remainder of the squad is pretty much as per last week.

Oh, and guess who the ref is? God help us !!

Stat Attack (from NRL.COM):

• The Roosters have won six of their past nine games against the Sea Eagles.
• The Sea Eagles have not beaten the Roosters twice in a season since 2017.
• Daly Cherry-Evans has scored four tries in his last four games against the Roosters.

GO EASTS !!

I’m a robbo defender however agree…Turps has to be there

i can really see friendy being able to coach this guys in to his mould

The Guru without a clue strikes again.

[Roosterfarian]

So at what minute will JWH be sin binned for ironing out Lodge?

Know something we don’t? Supposedly the two got on like a house on fire and Lodge publicly spoke of his admiration of Jared?

[Sentimentinel]

yeah, or that there's no requirement on tuesday to name the team that runs out on the weekend

Would he play ducks and drakes with those two? I do hope your right and turpin is fit.

[Sentimentinel]

I think that battle will be VERY entertaining. If Lodge really was a destabilizing figure in the squad, expect Jaz to make this VERY personal.

I hope not. When we play with too much emotion it backfires on us.

Or the refs will see to it anyway.

Far be it for me to tell Jazza what to do lol

Enough said about the hutchinator. I am lost for words .
How could Robbo justify this selection . Turpin will be looking for an exit clause on his contract . Time to leave the asylum

Coach Robinson has come to his senses in picking the right number 14

mate, are you aware that there is no requirement for the coach to name the team that runs out on game day until an hour before the game?
are you up to date on turpin's fitness and can give us a heads up that he is fully fit?

You don't lose much with the Hutch - Go the Hutchinator

Turpin is only signed for 2023 so his exit is pretty much on the cards at seasons end.

It was planned preseason. You mustn't deviate from the plan.

Very aware of the requirements, Question is why do it ? Robbo does this more often than other coaches .What does this achieve ? If Turpin is half a chance to play name him and come 1 hour before kick off and he does not pass the fitness test then name the hutchinator. This makes more sense

does he do it more than other coaches? doubt that. what does it achieve? maybe nothing, maybe it prevents the opposition from being sure about their game plan. but basically what does it matter if he makes changes an hour before game time? there's a difference between informing the public about what the team is on a tuesday and letting the players know who's playing so that they can prepare properly
