Official match day thread: Roosters v Saints

[fletch]

Dragons starting to sit a few of their starting team so now will be a better like for like comparison talent wise.

[Rooster36]

Townsend will take a few weeks to show you why the Cows punted him to reserves in favour of Clifford. Absolutely legless

It’s going to be a tough year and aren’t you gonna enjoy it !

[SamKerrSimp]

There is going to be some S tier meltdowns on this website in 2025 and 3/4 of the users will be happy to see the team get flogged every week

[John Corey]

What fit players are we missing?

Teddy
Radley
Angus
Watson
Collins
Tupou
Butcher x 2

Anyone else of note?

Creativity is gonna be a massive issue

[milanja]

Hope rodwell gets some good minutes.

[bondi.boy]

Please...someone tell Dom Young he's supposed to be defending on the wing, guarding the side line...not inside the opposition winger and centre!

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Worried about Townsend, Sandon and Young in defence. We will need big efforts in defence from Rads and Gus this season, protecting our halves.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Great cut out pass Sandon!

[fletch]

Nice ball from Sandon.

[Rooster_6]

That was a picture book, left to right spiral cut out ball from Sandon Smith.

A thing of beauty.

[Roosterfarian]

Is that Savala in first receiver now?

[Rooster_6]

Interesting to see Savala coming on in a roaming lock role. Certainly got the size for it.

[Superdag]

Spencer line defense hasn't change

[RoosterFanNZ]

Hugo savala is a ducking giant

[HunchoRooster]

Townsend will take a few weeks to show you why the Cows punted him to reserves in favour of Clifford. Absolutely legless

But but but... he's a former premiership winner!
