Round 14 - Roosters vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[Coxy]

It's shaping as a cripple fight. Whichever team shows more guts in defence will win, because both have the ability to attack.

Sounds like Parker will be 18th man for QLD. Matt Scott is in doubt.. Will be a huge blow if Parker is out of this game.

He will play for us if he's 18th man won't he?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Yeah but with Scott in doubt he might end up playing origin

I see. Hopefully they'll give Scott up until a couple of days before the game anyway.

 

[simmo77]

Scotts in doubt because his mum haa cancer? Hes not injured as well is he?

Not injured. Purely in doubt because his priority - quite rightly - is to his family.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Wasn't aware of Scott having family issues. Thought he was injured.

 

[Jeba]

Ah fair enough. Didn't hear about that.

 

[jarro65]

His mum has advanced throat cancer

 

[Broncoman]

Even without Mitchell Pearce the Roosters are disadvantaged and the team isn't in good spirits and the Broncos should take control of this and should win. I'll be surprised if they didn't.

 

[Ari Gold]

our forward pack should still be able to stand up better than theirs even without our origin players.

mcguire glenn parker teo > their nuffies.

bigger worry would be on the edges if SKD and co have a field day against our outside backs.

SKD is out with a back injury.

 

[Foordy]

apparently the team won't be announced until after training tomorrow

 

[Alec]

I'm even more confident about this game than the one against the Knights. Knights have a good side, and there was always a chance they could start playing to their potential. Roosters on the other hand, are just rubbish.

 

[ethos]

The biggest worry for us is if they get on a massive roll through the middle, they've got some pretty big fellas in their side.

Can definitely win it, the plus is our playmaking quartet isn't hit by Origin. Reckon we'll get them on the fringe - Glenn and Reed to score a few.

What kind of bullshit is that??

 

[noisetheory]

i thought teams had to be announced before 5pm so that they could go in RLW?

either way its easy to just do a brian smith/ivan cleary and submit any old 17.

 

[Foordy]

well here is the Roosters team anyway.

Anthony Minichiello, Adam Henry, Joseph 'BJ' Leilua, Tautau Moga, Sam Perrett, Braith Anasta, Daniel Mortimer, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Jake Friend, Martin Kennedy, Aidan Guerra, Mitchell Aubusson, Boyd Cordner. Interchange (from): Frank Paul Nuuausala, Lama Tasi, Tinirau Arona, Mose Masoe, Justin Carney, Brad Takairangi
