ROOSTERS SQUAD v SOUTH SYDNEY
Round 27 - Friday 1st September
8:00pm Accor Stadium, Sydney
Dare to dream, Roosters. This is it, the final round, and a must-win shootout with our arch rival. We win this, and all we need is Canberra to lose in Cronulla, or the Cowboys to fail in Penrith. Both are very likely scenarios, and I'd be absolutely gutted if we won but neither of those eventuated.
But our assignment is to beat South Sydney, the so-called "Pride of the League". Bullshit!! The Vermin are a vaccuuos, leech of a club, without a solitary redeeming feature. I wonder how many dogs, cats & budgies will turn up to the members section to support 'their team'. LOL. They are missing Latrell, who is a mighty attacking threat, and a huge defensive weakness. I'm not sure how to feel about his absence, the way he's been playing it might be better if he plays, but then again, you just KNOW that he would lift big-time against us.
A couple of changes for us this week, as expected. Teddy returns but we are likely to be without Manu. He's been named to keep Souths guessing, but has to be in serious doubt. Expect Allan to play right center.
JWH is out for a minimum 3 weeks, so we see Baker start with Chrichton added to the bench. I would have liked to see Whyte.
Lindsay needs another huge game, just like he did a fortnight ago against Parra (68 min, 164m & 34 tackles). Look for him to fill the large Jaz-shaped hole in our pack. We should be good enough, but these games worry the hell out of me. Both teams will be desperate. I'll need a few extra beers for this one.
Ref is Adam Gee. Klein is in the Bunker, of course. FFS
GO EASTS !!
