What time is the game on?

[horrie hastings]

Think our back line may leak a few points but more interested to see how the Chad Townsend, Sandon Smith halves combination go together.

What time is the game on?

730pm.

["gaz"]

De La Salle Va'a in the second row?

[roosterchook]

I like the Va’a brothers and think they have great potential that is unless we sell them in a couple of years. As to our halves I think they will struggle and be dominated all season. Leniu and Collins are decent but not great forwards although way better than Butcher.

Can't wait for kick off. Looking forward to seeing how the younger blokes go.

[fletch]

Biggest thing that I will be keeping an eye on is how Marky N and Toia go defensively, if they are going to lock down those centre positions they will need to prove over the next couple of weeks they won't be defensive liabilities.

16 Makahesi Makatoa interesting selection that one
Hoping all the younger kids (man) go well today ,we need a couple of the younger brigade to stand up and make a name for themselves or its will be a long year for the team.

[Superdag]

This is it ! either sink or swim roosters for 2025. its only the first trail game but we will get a idea how the halfs and centers will combine today.

Currently watching the tigpies vs dogs trial. Our former Jersey Flegg player Cassius Tia is having a decent game for dogs in the halves. He has a good boot on him.

[rcptn]

A heap of players out and Merge close to full strength I'm not expecting much at all.

Robert Toia's younger brother Aholoka is on the the extended bench.
