SQUAD v BULLDOGS

[worldbe3]

Interesting that we couldn’t name 24 players. I was hoping Wong might get a call up this week but I guess he might be injured or suspended

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I think Robbo's drunk...hic!

[BigCok007]

This cannot be the run out side. Expect there’s a mass of changes coming closer to kick off. It’s really frustrating nonetheless, question marks all across the team. We don’t need ducks and drakes, we need players playing in their positions and who deserve to be there.

I don't understand people being confused about Paulo getting dropped, he is awful under pressure.

As for the halves and the backrow, obviously Robinson has trippled down and is going to ride or die.

[Roosterfarian]

Pauga will definitely start on the wing. There is no way he would be named for his debut game - all the excitement, family attendance etc - only to be dropped. Doesn’t work that way.

Paulo being dropped is a step in the right direction. We have to get rid of Allan as well. Suaalii to the Wing, Manu Centre and play either Sandon Smith at 7 or dare I say it, Hutch.

out the available players?

This is exactly the team we need to run out!! Why on earth can’t our coach see this!

This is why Robbo is copping so much flak..

Unfortunately I have no confidence in this weekend. We are also wayyyyy too short at $1.28.

I think it's more that Pauga's kicked the door down through his NSW Cup performances and with us playing like cr@p in attack, Robbo wants to give him a crack.

The dominoes are starting to pick up pace towards Robbo’s ousting.

The butcher brothers remaining starting second rowers? So according to Trent these 2 have basically pushed Sitili and Crichton out of their preferred positions based off such stellar performances this year?


jesus wept how has our side come to this

[milanja]

Is it possible that Sualli has a contract clause that he must play centre in 2023/24 ??

In my opinion, Paulo has been our most consistent player this year, I’m convinced he was thrown to wolves as Robbo can’t swallow his pride and dump Sualli.

Toupnuia playing lock …?? I like the idea of playing him in the middle as his lateral defence is dogshit. But, has anyone see if pass/ distribute the ball ??

The Butchers are budget

Hutch is …

If we lose to the Bulldogs, surely Robbo is put on notice.

I joked about that earlier in the season, thinking it was another clause we submitted too, now I’m starting to think there actually could be something more to it.

[Inflictor]

Surely Toups plays.
Why have him at 18 if not fit?
Name him at 2 and if he fails a fitness test then drop him.
I say he plays....fingers crossed.

Whyte the unlucky one but Brown was our best forward last game and deserves his spot.
The Butchers won't get dropped and don't deserve to despite all the experts on here ffs.

Pauga deserves his shot. I'd say that is the last we have seen of Paulo in a Roosters Jersey barring injuries. A shame he didn't kick on as he looked good the first few weeks.

I wish Walker was available this week just to see the make of the team. Yeah yeah Robbo would make him play NSW Cup. FFS

Well picked up mate your right its ridiculous you wonder what's going on at the roosters none of the team selections make any sense to me

[Random Rooster]

So many here thinking the demise of Robbo is in play.....so many here will be disappointed !
