Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Sharks

[Thirteen]

What an opportunity today presents to knock The Sharks off their perch. I see them more as goldfish than Sharks. They have had the easiest draw of any team so far this season. In my opinion they have a weak pack. The whole side is overrated.

If we keep the momentum going and play to our potential we should beat them comfortably. We will overpower them in the forwards and we have way too much class for them in the backs. Let’s put on another masterclass.

Congrats to Toops and Lindsay on their milestone games. Let’s hope Toops sets the Roosters a new try scoring record today.

Kick-off 530pm.

Go Roosters!

[The Brain]

Lose a lot of points with Manu out ..lets hope others make up for him.

After watching the game last night, odds on Teddy slipping over 5+ times must be short

Toops 250th and Lindsay 100rh should be good motivation
keep the attack going but need to respect these guys more and play territory and possession as well
It’s all about Hynes for them
sharks have a massive bench and overpowers the storm through for forwards last week so we need a big shift from Spencer and May
also hoping Whyte comes in for Egan to combat this and he deserves to be there to cover the edge and lock
Manu out is a 1-2 try loss and brings it closer
chooks by 6

The bookies have us as favourites despite the fact they're #1. Something about this one irks me with Manu out and Ramien in solid form. The whole Fifita cr@p has been a distraction too.

IMO we can win but it'll be tight. Looking at our roster I reckon our forwards can dominate if they show up and from there we just need to respect the footy...

Thanks for clarifying the kick-off time buddy. Thought it was the later game!

Big game. I don’t buy the theory that their pack is weak. They have some big units and plenty of punch off the bench. Should be a cracker. I reckon we’ve got them covered though.

Same here they dominated the storm last week who had NAS and Tui off the bench
sharks had talakai, hunt, heme uele and taupahu off the bench and bullied the storm
hopefully our forward can show who is the alpha pack and need Whyte off the bench also to help

[Bates]

Our forwards will need to take it up a notch today and dominate the ruck.

Up the Chooks.

[B2B]

We win easily and make another statement . Pagua is not to be under estimated , great cover for Manu .

It's a replay game for me........................Hoping I'll be watching tomorrow.

Tuku Hau Tapuha was a weapon for them off the bench last week - has always shown promise

[Kelby]

Nico is in after speaking to him last night.
I was hoping he wouldn't play...........................

[Chook2]

Will be interesting if David Fifita walks past roosters - nick or robbo at Suncorp! They are playing the game before us wonder if he will look away and not say anything

[zac]

sharks passed some kind of a test last week and will be up but so will we. should be a great game
