Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Eels

[Bates]

Moses has a huge boot. Teddy, Toops and JP will be working hard in yardage.

Lesssssssss gooooooooo chooooooooooks

[Big Dog]

My main concern is Moses running rings around Jennings. I hope we limit his opportunities.
I also hope this rain stops.

Moses has a chance to prove he should be the NSW half tonight. That has me worried with our misfiring backline.

This is a game we should win by 30 points and I expect too.
Its also a game we could get beat in, for some reason we play dumb footy against the bottom teams

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Obe of my least favourite away games vs Parra at Comm Bank. Hate the stadium, poor mans Allianz. And the crowd and ambience and loud music can make it tricky for the match officials to not get caught up in home town hype. We have tall skinny pot belly Butler on pitch and the One Look Honey Badger bunkered down.

We have the best middles rotation in the game today on show again. I'm still waiting for another Manu special...cmon Joey how about today.

Wary but hopeful. Should be a very good clash and test for us today. Go Easts.

IMO it's only a caretaker role until Cleary's fit to play. Hopefully we send him a reminder of how far down the ladder he is.

Walker's the only one with real prospects of being a champion Origin half. Call me hard on the lad but I reckon this is a massive chance for him to shutdown ANY hype about Moses being more than a mid-tier club level half. We should respect him (he'll school us if we don't) but shouldn't be scared of him given our roster.

Any team can beat any other team if the other team lets them.

Agree Mate. Looks good on TV but it’s a wind tunnel. Going to be cold and very windy there tonight. Those Westies can have it.

Not overly confident despite our good record against Parra. It would be nice if we could field our first choice 17 at least once some time soon. Still I hope the players are fired up after that disappointing second half against the cowboys.

[rented tracksuit]

We got dis.

[Bates]

I can't sit still. Faaaaaaaark.

Smash em boys!

[top_joe]

Predicting Connor will play himself into the 14 jersey for the Blues tonight.

[Seventy Five]

Looking forward to this game, surely we turn up tonight. There are any number of lesser teams sitting higher on the ladder than us for no other reason than that they turn up week in week out with a committed attitude.

We have heard all week about standards, expectations and leadership'; hopefully we see it on the field tonight and the remainder of the season. This side is too good to be redlining it into the semi's like seasons past.

Roosters by 13+. Up the Mighty Roosters!

[Bansai Pipeline]

This one reeks of a loss. Exactly the kind of game where we disrespect the opposition.
