ROOSTERS SQUAD v PANTHERS

Round 11 - Friday 12th May @ 8:00pm
BlueBet Stadium, Penrith

I'm giving up trying to guess what we are going to dish up from week to week.

Normally I'd be super excited and nervous about a a big game like this, but 2023 is just not doing it for me I'm afraid. Still, I'm an optimist, and I'm hoping that on Friday we'll see that last weeks rubbish was due to them focusing on winning this one. If memory serves (and it often doesn't these days), we have a pretty ordinary record out at Penrith

Egan unavailable, so Gus gets a start. Baker comes onto the bench. Billy Smith retained. His comeback was the one positive I could find out of the team right now.

[Lydon]

I didn’t expect anything different from our stubborn master coach!

[RoosterFanNZ]

**** me dead, robbo knows how to kill any tiny bit of excitement I had left about this game by naming essentially the same team lol

im not really expecting anything different from this game then.

[Arties Pie]

I was hoping for Brown to be on the bench, Manu and Suaalii still at 6 and 3 is a real concern as both aren't the best options we have.

[Easts75]

Not sure what I'm looking forward to most. Keary's 30m clearing kicks ? Suaalii's non passing or his pathetic reads in defense ? Nat Buthers 50m contribution in attack ? Teddy running in circles ? Corey Allens speed, probably run the 100m in 15.4 sec ? Etc etc.

Only my opinion but finding it above hard to get excited about this lot

Penrith have been poor and are probably due for a big one. Fark i hope this doesn't get ugly

[rented tracksuit]

There has to be more to this Walker stuff. 4th week in a row. Hes obviously not been dropped for poor form or to get confidence. 4 weeks now would be destroying the poor kid.

[HunchoRooster]

Convinced that Robinson has some stat in his head that has Hutch either playing or being apart of the 17 every week since mid-2021 or something so feels the need to keep him there to prove a point.

Foolish to keep the same team that dished up that rubbish last week. Riff finding their feet, we'll give them a confidence boost this week I'm sure...

In what world do Corey Allan and Drew Hutchison get a start in a Roosters side while Sam Walker, Nathan Brown, Jake Turpin and a host of young forwards are playing Cup.

End the Sue R. Lehe centre experiment! Especially when you have a lionheart young gun back and ready to play, with your other gun centre in the farrrking halves. Fk me Robbo is a cumbersome turd at times.

this comment made my day u hit the nail on the head on all players lol

[zac]

billy smith was on the bench but got the gig last week - maybe the same thing happens for walker this week. either way it's still a good team. the way the team responds after last week's performance will show a lot

[Cutloose6]

The definition of insanity……doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
I just hope Robbo and the team redefines insanity this week…..but doubt they will.

[RoosterBooster]

Corey Allen, enough said

[player 1]

Sutton AND Klein.

Aren't there 7 other games they could be doing?

[Thirteen]

You should all know never to take any notice of the “Tuesday team”.

[Lydon]

Not sure what I'm looking forward to most. Keary's 30m clearing kicks ? Suaalii's non passing or his pathetic reads in defense ? Nat Buthers 50m contribution in attack ? Teddy running in circles ? Corey Allens speed, probably run the 100m in 15.4 sec ? Etc etc.

You forgot Manu running backwards to try and go forward

[rcl1966]

I'm done, getting used to getting shattered at the end of the week. Now Robbo is cruelling me from Tuesday.
