PRE-GAME Round 21 - Roosters vs Broncos

[Super Freak]

Are there any Roosters players reaching a milestone next week?

We seem to play terribly whenever an opposition player is reaching a milestone..

 

[winslow_wong]

I also didn't get Opacic sitting on the bench for nearly 70 minutes last night, he needs to be starting or not in the team IMO

That really stinks of griffinball days doesn't it... Gives me the heebie jeebies.

 

[Sproj]

It's hard to drop players based on performance as 95% of the team would be dropped.

just threaten them no match payments if they put up that rubbish again next week because they certainly didn't turn up this week.

I cannot believe Thaiday got charged.

 

[Danoz Direct]

My ideal team for this game would be:

1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Opacic
4. Roberts
5. Seve
6. Milford
7. Hunt
8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Blair
11. Glenn
12. Gillett (Su'A if Gillett is still out)
13. Parker

Interchange

14. Wallace
15. Ese'ese
16. Ofahengaue
17. Fai

Have absolutely no clue how Thaiday was charged, wasn't even penalty worthy.

 

[1910]

Souths down and score twice in last 15 minutes. 79th minute winner: Herman!

 

[Danoz Direct]

Has to be in the team this week.

 

[Kaz]

It was a back slam & wasn't necessary.

 

[Pushkin]

Has to be in the team this week.

Matt Gillett will replace sam thaiday and Herman Ese’ese will replace McGuire for this week game.

 

[Sproj]

It was a back slam & wasn't necessary.

Maybe but that is not illegal. He never went above horizontal, it was a legitimate, hard tackle.

 

[Kimlo]

I reckon they'll challenge the Thaiday tackle. There's nothing in it.

 

[Browny]

Every team needs to challenge BS charges

 

[Super Freak]

It was a back slam & wasn't necessary.

It wasn't an illegal tackle. You're allowed to pick someone up and put them on their back.

It was a great tackle. A textbook tackle.

It was the best damn tackle I've seen Thaiday make in his entire career.

 

[Super Freak]

Hopefully Hunt continues his good form against the Roosters.

He has a tendency to lift against them. Scored 5 tries in the last 4 games against them.

JWH will likely be missing for this game, as well.

At first I thought you said it was a black sam...

 

[K-Style]

It was the best damn tackle I've seen Thaiday make in his entire career.

Hmm. Need video. This is my favourite game from Sam.



McCullough got crunched underneath in one of the tackles.

 

[uptheguts]

Prediction.

Roosters will make plenty of easy yards up the middle and Pearce will play with plenty of time and confidence. Expect heaps of well placed well contested bombs and a fair few Rooster restarts of course.

Broncos will pretty much play the same as they have been, Our young forwards wil be pretty ineffective , which won't help the halves at all.

Rooster to win by 13.


PS I hope I am wrong and the boys come out have a season changing performance, but one things for sure something will need to change. Our form against the Rabbits will not be enough to beat the Roosters , who have nothing to loose.

 

[winslow_wong]

Get on roosters for 13+
