Sydney Roosters vs Penrith Panthers - Round 2 - NRL Team Lists

[Bates]

The side to face the Penrith Panthers at 8pm this Friday at CommBank Stadium has been trimmed 24 hours ahead of kick-off.

Lindsay Collins comes out of the Squad with Taylor Losalu replacing him at prop.

Hugo Savala takes up a spot on the bench and is set to make his Roosters debut. Zach Docker-Clay, Blake Steep, and Makahesi Makatoa join him on the interchange.

Ethan Roberts is 18th man.

Billy Smith and Max McCathie come out of the side.

The final teamlist will be released one hour before kick-off, at 7pm.

Thanks fletch.

Is it fair to say that we only have 7 real first graders playing tomorrow night:

Ted, Toops, DY, Chad, Angus, Watson and Whyte. I don't clasisfy Wong ' yet ' as a permanent first grader.

Holy ss hit - we will smash them ha ha.

[Big Dog]

Penrith would still put 40 on them if those 11 players were fit and available

In just the 1st half at that.

Chad is borderline.

[A Country Member]

Chad is borderline.

Chad is borderline out of the team.

If he has another shocker and Savala holds his own, his days might be numbered. After displaying poor form in the trial and first game, I suspect Trent might invest in youth. Especially a bigger body with a solid kicking game.

[Waylander]

Chad is borderline.

So is Dom.

what's up with Collins - why wouldn't they say? Shit communication - of course the fans would like to know

[roosterchook]

Penrith wil lose face if they don’t score huge against as their for and against is way down at 6. With a large score they can rocket to first or second on the ladder. Our team is for and against fodder. I don’t think they’ll be holding back somehow.

[King Salvo]

I predict a victory, but, of course, one of the few. I suppose the "We's" are the ones that only back them when they are winning.

You got to be realistic, saying that the Roosters can beat a premiership winning side made up of national team players and Origin stars with perhaps the worst team we've fielded in the NRL era is just blind loyalty. Of course we'll all cheer them on and hope they win but we got beat by 30 with a near full strength side 7 months ago, imagine what they'll do to this broken team filled with rookies.
