Teams up for the Parra trial

[Vasco]

DCE wearing 6 and Walker wearing 7 is just semantics DCE will 100% play the organising role

Nat Butcher will always be in the 17 when he's fit Robbo loves him and he gets through a lot of hard work that goes under appreciated by fans I always feel a lot better when he's in the rotation.

Great to see Blake Steep get a starting gig I think he's in for a massive breakout year.

Talau starting and Junior Tupou in the 24 is diabolical we are royally ****ed when Billy Smith eventually goes down. Cody Ramsey is shit too and Rodwell doesn't look first grade quality it's pretty poor that we have allowed our backline depth to be this paper thin

Agree regarding Nat Butcher.

I thought Talau was a centre? Pauga to me seems more of a winger so not sure what's happening with the positioning of those two. Guess the coach knows what he's doing.

Are you sure about Ramsey? I have to confess I've never seen him play but from what I've read and heard he's got some talent.

Thats harsh.
IMO anyone who has played FG is not shit.

[Mickie Lane]

They haven't been training that way.

Sammy will play his natural game! The only thing that's changed is the playing system.

Daly's role won't be too dissimilar to the way Maloney played. DCE will be the voice of reason however Sammy will continue to work on his organising skills.

I think Cherry is a general & Sammy is off the cuff & I hope they click as a halves pairing,

[Chook2]

Sounds like Robson out
Id keep Conner at 14 and bring Ioelu in to 9
hope toia and toops are fine for round 1

I think our depth is pretty great to be honest. Plenty of experience, Ramsey and Talau have quite a bit of experience and are good players, Tupou isn't great but has some experience also.

Sydney Morning Herald says Robson could be out till round 6. Expect club to confirm tomorrow

Of course they can be shit relative to the competition they face. You're out here saying the Va'a boys don't have the heart to play first grade but get on some participation trophy shit about talent lol how's that work?

Yeah we've got DCE we don't need anything else right?

You're a lifesaver mate. I suffered the same issues as John, so on your recommendations downloaded Brave. So much better!

That sounds like a dangerous recipe to me. Jimmy was a very good runner of the ball especially straightening the attack and busting through inside shoulders. Chez is miles off that. I have fears for tears.

Daniel Tupou (289) needs 11 games to reach 300 and 22 to be most games for the Roosters ( JWH on 310)

mmm will he get another season in 2027 if short of the record at the end of 2026?

One for the road perhaps

Just as exciting King if not more is he is on 183 tries and needs 17 more to hit the 200 mark

Happy to help mate. It also stops fingerprinting (you can be tracked through a unique ID created through your browser based on things like your bookmarks, plugin extensions etc) and it stops tracking as well but LibreWolf would be the best (as far as I know) if you wanted to go full privacy.

DCE turns 37 tomorrow he will not be playing the role that 26 year old James Maloney played in 2013 lol
