Roosters vs. Parramatta Team Lists

[bondi-boy]

i cant believe trent dropped napa

I can.

[Guest]

I can.

Me too, We need more go forward and IMHO Evans has plenty..

[Guest]

We're the champs so we're the hunted now, accept it, deal with it and start building on this legacy. Rip in and don't back down boys!

[TDK]

He's rotated the two youngsters.

Makes sense. No use leaving one as 18th man every week, when then called upon that player would have zero match fitness.

Having two greenhorns in one game isn't smart or necessary while everyone's fit.

Casty has heaps of expierence.

I'm sure they will all get a chance to contribute at some stage this season.

Gonna be some stiffys this week, another SuperMegaResherveGrader debuts.

Good move by Robbo, Casty will produce good stats this week, his high work rate will take some pressure off a our starting forwards.

[Guest]

I'm glad Napa has been dropped for Evans and Casty is in.. Evans will improve our go forward, Casty's work rate will help our starting forwards. Napa deserves a holiday tries to put a shot on in every tackle instead of tackling..

[Guest]

Very Strong team no reason we can't put a big score against parra .. Looking forward to Evans having a run out there he's an absolute unit ..

[roosterproud]

I don't understand why naps has a break. yeh I understand we need to blood casy and kane but I didn't think naps had a poor game

[Tommy Smith]

He was poor. No yardage, a shoulder charge for a penalty and a simple dropped ball in attack.

Still, one game doesn't define anyone. I just suspect that Robbo identifies the need for yardage off the bench and Kane has the potential to go for 100+ easily.

He's a monster and is hard to bring down.

Napa on the other hand hits like a truck in D but still has to work on his go forward. Similar to Jared tbh when he first entered 1st grade.

[Darkone]

I'm happy to see Taukeiaho made 19

He's a very very special talent. needs this year to grow into next

Napa's time to eat pie & watch the 'undertaker' have a go

By the end of this match we will know what Casti brings to the game, a tough mother, hope he does the LOD proud.

I totally agree with you on Taukeiaho,he will be something special down the track!

[The Axe]

I'm delighted for Kane. Would of had his chance last year if not for injury.

It is good to see competition for spots early in the season with Casty, Napa, Evans and Lui vying for a solitary spot. I'd love to see similar pressure within on SKD.

[Tommy Smith]

Maybe that's why Taukeiaho has been named as 19th man.

[bondi-boy]

Given that Trent is an actual coach, a premiership winning one, and I'm only an armchair coach, ...I'll bow to his decisions and greater wisdom.

Bowing is something I rarely do.
