Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Cowboys

[fletch]

Theyve got the Va'a bros mixed up.
Older brother Xavier is knocking on 1st grade.
Gentle Giant De La Salle made his NSW Cup debut last week.

In this case they got it right GMan, XavierVa'a is on the bench for NSW Cup today and De La Salle is 19th man for first grade.

[BTRD]

We have no excuses but a solid win.

GO ROOSTERS.

Wow....I'm stocked for him if that's the case.

I'm a little worried as various pundits have had a massive sook about how the Cows are missing lotsa Origin stars and we're not missing anybody.

Teddy, Collins, Leniu, Crichton and Sua'ali'i are all quality players and this is definitely gonna be a test of our depth.

Cows have Taumalolo, Drinkwater, Feldt, Townsend, McLean, Granville...etc (woulda seen ridiculous a couple of years back) and want some sort of special underdog treatment. Forget what the bookies say. This is bunch of players who CAN dominate footy games and may well choose this round as their one week to do so all season.

Yes, Cows are a good team.
If we take it easy, nod off in a state of complacency, we can easily lose this one.
100% completion rate, give them nothing, hard and straight running plus no missed tackles should see us win.

Not so concerned about losing Teddy as Manu is a good replacement but I am concerned about our defensive fragility on the edges with 2 different centres this week. If Cowboys can exploit that there is a clear path to victory for them.

Looked at the cowboys centres and they are virtually rookies as well so we might be able to counter them back abit
the cowboys forwards are quite big and some experience
let’s hope walker and Keary are in and Manu and young can run amok out wide with the sunshine and dry track

Just popped across to the cowboys forum, apparently he’s absolutely rapid and quick footwork. Which ever of our centres marking him have to be careful especially old man jennings

[theGman]

Yep, young buck is warming up on the field.....How nervous and pumped DLS would be.
Surreal for him and the famiglia.
Congrats Uncle PLV .
