SQUAD v BULLDOGS

[fletch]

UPDATE: Trent Robinson has trimmed his squad ahead of the Roosters’ Round 14 clash with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Industree Group Stadium.

Daniel Tupou, Jaxson Paulo and Terrell May have been omitted from the side, which remains as named 1-17. Sandon Smith and Naufahu Whyte remain on the extended bench.

So I wonder if Paulo is injured or is he playing NSW cup? Unless Sandon Smith plays we’re going to be stuck with Joey at 6 again. Unless Teddy pulls out and there’s a reshuffle with one of the Joseph’s moving to fullback.

I guess we won't know until the reserve grade side is named at 1030am tomorrow.

Allan will be dropped. Manu back to centre. JS to wing. Hutch to halfback. Sandon on the bench.

[Carlos Parra]

JAC is playing tomorrow. What odds he scores 3 or more tries?

I'd be happy with that.

I agree Rads hasn’t been at his best for awhile but I still believe in him.

Walker is a gun, you’re right, he is still very raw but he is unpredictable and attacks the game which we need, he just needs reps (in first grade).

I think Cheese can be a hooker, albeit not an 80min one. He just needs to run less and simplify his game, a bit of marker engagement wouldn’t hurt either. If he can add this to his tool kit, it opens up so much more of the field up for our halves. I’d also like to see him used like we did against South’s and bring him off the bench. I don’t know why we went away from a winning formula tbh, and it also saves a valuable interchange.

JWH is a club legend. His workload should be managed throughout the week to avoid injuries and so he can be maximised each game for 30-50mins.

All this just seems to me like issues with team cohesion, lack of technical coaching and individual form. Too many chefs in the kitchen and a few (Rads & Cheese IMO) need to take a backseat for the betterment of the team.

I believe in Radley too it's very odd why all of a sudden in the last year or 2 he's losing his mind when he's on the field because he is a fantastic ball player when he's fit and playing well.

I agree with all your points I'm not knocking JWH either just saying that if we are still relying on him to be the top dog the likes of Collins and Lodge need to start aiming up and carrying the load. I think Brandon Smith is a better lock personally but a couple of games isn't enough to judge him at 9 I will reserve that until the season is over.

The cohesion in the team does seem off I can't help but think they are fatigued. The team has the quality to turn it around but I don't see them as a top 4 challenger.

[Qld Chook]

I'd be happy with that.

Me too, even happier if they switched Sandon & Hutch.

[mightyrooster]

I'd be happy with that.

Same here.

[Steggles]

Me too, even happier if they switched Sandon & Hutch.

Yes please

[bondi.boy]

I'd be happy with that.

So would I.

Has Toups still not recovered?

[roosterchook]

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.

Conspiracy theory = Robbo wants an early release from his coaching contract to take up a massive offer from ARU. Picking way out of form Suualii then makes complete sense. And so do all the losses so far.
