ROOSTERS SQUAD v DOLPHINS
Round 24 - Saturday 12th August
7:35pm Allianz Stadium, Sydney
Time to make a statement. These pretenders ambushed us in Round 1, and I want pay back. We still looked clunky AF last week, and well below our best, but there have been glimpses. Not enough to get me excited, but enough to allow the tiniest glimmer of hope for us eternal optimists. Discipline is paramount. We've started OK in the last 3 games, but inevitably drop-off later inteh game. Set completions, penalties and set restarts MUST be controlled. The Roosters have made more tackles than any other NRL team in 2023. This costs us big-time. I believe fatigue is a massive contributor to our typically crappy second half displays.
Egan is still out, so Wong retains his spot, Napa added to the bench (first game since 2018) with Brown suspended.
As alluded to in the post-game presser, Hutch retains the #7 role with Sandon named at 14.
Ref is Todd Smith, with Klown in the bunker.
GO EASTS !!
